Why Derrick wins

Why teams pick Derrick over Dropcontact and Kaspr

3 core reasons SDRs and ops teams switch to Derrick. Click to expand each.

01

Lives where your data already does — Google Sheets

The friction with Dropcontact and Kaspr isn't the data quality — it's the workflow shape. Export from the platform, import into Sheets, hope the columns line up. Derrick collapses all of that into a single formula call. The enrichment happens where the data already lives, with the team that already owns the sheet.

02

Flat $10/month pricing — no credit walls

Pricing comparison : Dropcontact from €27/month, Kaspr from Free 15 emails + 5 phones/mo · Starter €45/mo, Derrick at $10/mo flat. Note the unit — both Dropcontact and Kaspr either cap your credits or charge per seat, so a real team's monthly bill is typically 2-5× the headline. Derrick's $10 is the full price regardless of how many rows you enrich.

03

AI-agent ready : Derrick speaks the Model Context Protocol

For teams adopting AI SDR / RevOps workflows : Derrick's MCP support means your enrichment layer is callable by any compliant agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, n8n with MCP nodes). Dropcontact and Kaspr require Zapier or custom code at this layer — a meaningful integration tax as AI-agent stacks mature.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dropcontact vs Kaspr: when does each fit best?

+
Dropcontact is positioned as b2b contact data for eu teams prioritising gdpr posture. Kaspr is positioned as linkedin phone & email finder (eu-first) for eu-focused sdrs needing linkedin phone numbers. Both compete in the B2B contact data category, so the choice comes down to which best-for profile your team matches most closely. G2 reviewers rate Dropcontact at 4.5/5 and Kaspr at 4.4/5 — both products work, the deciding factor is workflow fit, not product quality.

How do Dropcontact and Kaspr pricing actually compare in 2026?

+
Dropcontact entry-paid tier : Email Finder Starter at €27/month. Next tier up is Email Finder Pro (€39/month). Dropcontact's free tier : Free email verifier (no credits). Kaspr entry-paid tier : Starter at €45/mo (€59 annual). Next tier up is Business (€79/mo (€99 annual) - BEST VALUE). Kaspr's free tier : Yes - 15 B2B emails + 5 phones + 5 direct emails/mo. For comparison : Derrick App skips the credit + seat model entirely with $10/month for unlimited enrichment, billed directly in the Sheet.

What's the biggest reason to pick Dropcontact over Kaspr?

+
GDPR-defensible by architecture, not just policy. Most enrichment tools claim GDPR compliance through legal frameworks and opt-out flows. Dropcontact does it by never storing personal data — every lookup is real-time from public sources. For EU companies, this removes a real regulatory exposure with no extra work. (Source : Léa M., RevOps (EU SaaS), G2 review (Feb 2026).) If this single capability maps to a real pain in your sales motion, Dropcontact is the right pick over Kaspr.

What's the biggest reason to pick Kaspr over Dropcontact?

+
EU-first GDPR-clean data quality. Built specifically for the French market and now powered by Cognism's verified data assets, Kaspr delivers among the cleanest GDPR-compliant EU contact data in the category. France, DACH, Iberia and Italy coverage is noticeably stronger than US-centric tools (Apollo, RocketReach, ZoomInfo). (Source : Verified G2 user, EU SDR Lead, G2 review (Q1 2026).) If this is the differentiator that matters most for your stack, Kaspr is the right pick over Dropcontact.

Can Derrick replace both Dropcontact and Kaspr?

+
Both Dropcontact and Kaspr compete in the B2B contact data category. Derrick is data-and-Sheets-native — it doesn't replace a full B2B contact data platform feature-for-feature, but it eliminates the data + spreadsheet layer that teams typically use alongside Dropcontact or Kaspr. For teams whose primary need is enrichment + list-building in Sheets, Derrick at $10/mo replaces 60-80% of typical B2B contact data stack workflows. For teams running heavy B2B contact data feature surface (sequencer, dialer, AI agents), Derrick complements rather than replaces.

Beyond Dropcontact and Kaspr, what other tools should I evaluate?

+
Four other tools in the same competitive set worth evaluating : Apollo, Hunter, Findymail, Snov.io. Each has its own positioning trade-off versus Dropcontact and Kaspr — Apollo typically appears as a direct competitor on G2 review pages, with Hunter, Findymail, Snov.io as adjacent picks for different team sizes or use cases. Each tool's full review on this site has the deep trade-off matrix — start there before shortlisting.
