Why teams pick Derrick over HeyReach and LinkedFusion
3 core reasons SDRs and ops teams switch to Derrick. Click to expand each.
01 Skip the dashboard — enrich straight from formulas
If your B2B data ends up in Google Sheets anyway (most teams' do), running it through HeyReach or LinkedFusion first means two unnecessary hops : platform → CSV → Sheets. Derrick removes both hops. One add-on, one formula, results in the next column. The unit-of-work shrinks from "run the export" to "drag the formula down".
02 Forget per-seat math : $10/mo regardless of scale
HeyReach ($44/seat/mo (annual)) and LinkedFusion ($65/month per account) follow the SaaS-standard model : tier the features, cap the credits, upsell when you outgrow it. Derrick is the opposite — one tier, $10/month, no caps, no seats. Predictable spend for teams that hate budgeting around credit-pool refills.
03 Native MCP support : Claude + ChatGPT call Derrick directly
Derrick exposes its enrichment API via MCP (Model Context Protocol) — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other LLM agents can call Derrick directly from your sheet without writing integration code. HeyReach and LinkedFusion require Zapier, Make, or custom API wiring to do the same.

Frequently Asked Questions
HeyReach vs LinkedFusion: when does each fit best?
+
HeyReach is positioned as linkedin automation (agency-focused) for agencies managing 5+ linkedin accounts. LinkedFusion is positioned as linkedin outreach automation for solo sdr with ip-rotation needs. Both compete in the LinkedIn outreach automation category, so the choice comes down to which best-for profile your team matches most closely. G2 reviewers rate HeyReach at 4.8/5 and LinkedFusion at 4.3/5 — both products work, the deciding factor is workflow fit, not product quality.
How do HeyReach and LinkedFusion pricing actually compare in 2026?
+
HeyReach entry-paid tier : Growth at $44/seat/mo (annual) / $59 monthly. Next tier up is Agency ($749/mo (annual) / $999 monthly). HeyReach's free tier : 14-day free trial (no credit card). LinkedFusion entry-paid tier : Standard at $65/month per account. Next tier up is Pro ($95/month per account). LinkedFusion's free tier : 7-day free trial. If you're looking past tier-based pricing entirely, Derrick App at $10/month covers unlimited rows enriched in Google Sheets — no credit caps, no per-seat math.
What's the biggest reason to pick HeyReach over LinkedFusion?
+
Best multi-account architecture in the category. Connect unlimited LinkedIn accounts under one login. Sender rotation distributes outreach automatically across the pool. Each account keeps its own data, leads and senders separate - agencies can manage 50+ clients from a single dashboard. (Source : Verified G2 user, Agency Owner, G2 review (Q1 2026).) If this single capability maps to a real pain in your sales motion, HeyReach is the right pick over LinkedFusion.
What's the biggest reason to pick LinkedFusion over HeyReach?
+
Dedicated IP rotation per LinkedIn account. Each LinkedIn account gets a dedicated IP not shared with other customers. For accounts that have had LinkedIn detection issues on shared-IP tools (Closely, SalesRobot, We-Connect), dedicated IPs can reduce future detection risk. (Source : Mei C., Sales Director, G2 review (Feb 2026).) If this is the differentiator that matters most for your stack, LinkedFusion is the right pick over HeyReach.
Can Derrick replace both HeyReach and LinkedFusion?
+
Both HeyReach and LinkedFusion compete in the LinkedIn outreach automation category. Derrick is data-and-Sheets-native — it doesn't replace a full LinkedIn outreach automation platform feature-for-feature, but it eliminates the data + spreadsheet layer that teams typically use alongside HeyReach or LinkedFusion. For teams whose primary need is enrichment + list-building in Sheets, Derrick at $10/mo replaces 60-80% of typical LinkedIn outreach automation stack workflows. For teams running heavy LinkedIn outreach automation feature surface (sequencer, dialer, AI agents), Derrick complements rather than replaces.
Beyond HeyReach and LinkedFusion, what other tools should I evaluate?
+
Four other tools in the same competitive set worth evaluating : Closely, We-Connect, Dripify, SalesRobot. Each has its own positioning trade-off versus HeyReach and LinkedFusion — Closely typically appears as a direct competitor on G2 review pages, with We-Connect, Dripify, SalesRobot as adjacent picks for different team sizes or use cases. Read the dedicated reviews to weigh feature surface, pricing model, and geographic depth against your real sales motion.
