Dropcontact current baseline
Dropcontact is a contact enrichment and data-hygiene tool built around a batch REST API: submit up to 250 contacts to /enrich/all, poll or receive a webhook callback, and get back verified emails plus cleaned, deduplicated, and firmographically enriched records.
- Nominative business email finding, claimed 98% valid rate
- Native email verification including catch-all resolution
- Data cleaning: name-order correction, spelling fixes, removal of harmful characters
- Automatic duplicate detection and merging ("Smart Merge")
- Company enrichment: LinkedIn profiles, websites, company size, industry, VAT numbers, French SIREN codes
- Published starting point
- €79/month (Starter, monthly billing)
- Setup
- 30m setup assessment
- Developer access
- API documentation, MCP documentation
When to replace Dropcontact
Enterprise-only features gate at 200,000 credits/month with custom pricing, so mid-volume teams needing job-change alerts, LinkedIn enrichment, or AI job classification must buy the Growth tier at minimum (€120/month for only 500 credits - the same credit allotment as the cheaper Starter tier). Native CRM integration is limited to HubSpot and Pipedrive today, with Salesforce and Zoho still listed as "coming," so Salesforce-first sales orgs need to go through the API or Zapier/Make instead of a native connector.
