Why teams pick Derrick over LinkedFusion and We-Connect
3 core reasons SDRs and ops teams switch to Derrick. Click to expand each.
01 Built for teams whose pipeline runs in Sheets
If your B2B data ends up in Google Sheets anyway (most teams' do), running it through LinkedFusion or We-Connect 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 Transparent $10/mo : no credit caps, no seat fees
Pricing comparison : LinkedFusion from $65/month per account, We-Connect from $19/seat/month (annual), Derrick at $10/mo flat. Note the unit — both LinkedFusion and We-Connect 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 MCP-ready for AI workflows in 2026
In 2026, AI agents need data tools they can call natively. Derrick speaks MCP out of the box — point Claude at your sheet, ask "enrich these 200 LinkedIn URLs with mobile numbers", done. LinkedFusion and We-Connect need either a custom integration or a Zapier middleman for the same workflow.

What's the biggest reason to pick LinkedFusion over We-Connect?
+
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 single capability maps to a real pain in your sales motion, LinkedFusion is the right pick over We-Connect.

Can Derrick replace both LinkedFusion and We-Connect?

Both LinkedFusion and We-Connect 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 LinkedFusion or We-Connect. 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 LinkedFusion and We-Connect, what other tools should I evaluate?
+
Four other tools in the same competitive set worth evaluating : Closely, HeyReach, Dripify, SalesRobot. Each has its own positioning trade-off versus LinkedFusion and We-Connect — Closely typically appears as a direct competitor on G2 review pages, with HeyReach, Dripify, SalesRobot as adjacent picks for different team sizes or use cases.
