Why Derrick wins02 / 10

Why teams pick Derrick over Mailshake and Saleshandy

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

01

Web app, nothing to install, no CSV round-trip

Derrick is a web app, nothing to install: import your list, enrich it, and each column populates inline. The same enrichment runs in the web app (and in Google Sheets, Claude and the API), Claude (MCP) and the API. No platform-switching, no CSV round-trip.

02

Forget per-seat math : from €9/month for 4,000 credits

Entry pricing: Mailshake at $29/user/month, Saleshandy at $23/month (annual). Derrick from €9/month is €108/year total. The break-even on switching pays back in week 2 for most teams.

03

Plug Derrick into Claude / ChatGPT via MCP - no glue code

The AI-agent stack in 2026 looks different : Claude calls MCP-enabled tools directly, no glue code. Derrick was built MCP-native from day one. Pairing Mailshake or Saleshandy with an AI agent still means setting up Zapier flows, parsing JSON responses, and handling rate limits manually.

"This app saved me so much time and effort. Great for anyone looking to build a contact list or network at scale quickly. As a start-up it's been invaluable."

Alex Clark

Director | SaaS GTM Leader

Reviewed on Product Hunt

"Working pretty nifty compared to Snov.Io. Price wise it does give a fair shake, and IMO better interface since it's google sheets."

David Sire

"Derrick is a very simple and user-friendly app to enrich your contacts database. Best thing: you can test it for free. And then the price is so low, it's a no brainer."

FAQ

Stop copying data around. Start enriching.

Mailshake vs Saleshandy: when does each fit best?

+
Mailshake is positioned as sales engagement for traditional sdr teams on salesforce. Saleshandy is positioned as cold email outreach for cold email at scale, agencies. Both compete in the cold email + sales engagement category, so the choice comes down to which usage profile your team matches most closely. Both are established products with real user bases, so the deciding factor is workflow fit, not product quality.

How do Mailshake and Saleshandy pricing actually compare in 2026?

+
Mailshake entry-paid tier : Starter at $29/user/month (annual). Next tier up is Email Outreach ($59/user/month (annual)). Mailshake's free tier : 30-day money-back guarantee. Saleshandy entry-paid tier : Outreach Starter at $23/month (annual). Next tier up is Outreach Pro ($59/month (annual)). Saleshandy's free tier : 7-day free trial. As a cross-reference : Derrick App's paid plans open at 9 EUR a month for 4,000 credits, and whatever you do not spend rolls over, which helps teams that hate budgeting around refills.

What's the biggest reason to pick Mailshake over Saleshandy?

+
Salesforce integration that actually works under load. Mailshake's Salesforce sync is bidirectional, real-time, and doesn't break under high-volume scenarios. Newer competitors' integrations are mostly write-only or batch-synced, which causes data inconsistency in CRM-led sales motions. That is the capability to test against your own list before it decides anything.

What's the biggest reason to pick Saleshandy over Mailshake?

+
Unlimited mailboxes saves real money at scale. Every paid tier supports unlimited connected sending mailboxes. Instantly, Smartlead, and Apollo all charge per-mailbox past 10-25. Agencies and multi-mailbox solo operators routinely save $500-2,000/mo just on this one feature. That is the difference to test against your own workflow before it decides anything.

Can Derrick replace both Mailshake and Saleshandy?

+
Both Mailshake and Saleshandy compete in the cold email + sales engagement category. Derrick is a data-first web app (also in Google Sheets, Claude and the API) - it doesn't replace a full cold email + sales engagement platform feature-for-feature, but it eliminates the data + spreadsheet layer that teams typically use alongside Mailshake or Saleshandy. For teams whose primary need is enrichment + list-building, Derrick replaces 60-80% of typical cold email + sales engagement stack workflows, with credits that roll over on every paid plan (from 9 EUR a month). For teams running heavy cold email + sales engagement feature surface (sequencer, dialer, AI agents), Derrick complements rather than replaces.

Beyond Mailshake and Saleshandy, what other tools should I evaluate?

+
Four other tools in the same competitive set worth evaluating : Instantly, Smartlead, Lemlist, Apollo. Each has its own positioning trade-off versus Mailshake and Saleshandy - Instantly sits closest to them on the same use case, with Smartlead, Lemlist, Apollo as adjacent picks for different team sizes or use cases. Cross-reference each tool's standalone review for the trade-off detail that matters to your team's specific stack.
