## Why choose Derrick against HeyReach or LinkedFusion

### 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".

### 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.

### 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.
