Dropcontact
DataGDPR-first B2B enrichment that generates and tests emails, no stored database
The enrichment tool you buy when the privacy question matters as much as the hit rate, because its answer is that there is no stored database to ask about.
Best for
European teams, particularly in France, that need CRM contacts cleaned, deduplicated and enriched under a data model they can defend to a privacy officer.
Not great for
Low-volume users enriching a few hundred contacts a month, where the entry price after the 2026 repackaging is hard to justify.

Dropcontact, in plain terms
Dropcontact is a French B2B enrichment service built on an unusual model. Rather than looking a contact up in a stored database, it uses proprietary algorithms and test servers to work out and verify the likely address, then returns it. The company states plainly that it operates exclusively with algorithms, does not use contact databases, and stores or resells no personal information, which is the basis of its GDPR-first positioning. Around that sit email validation including catch-all handling, duplicate detection and merging, name and job title cleaning, AI-assisted job classification, company data enrichment with details such as size, industry and SIREN codes, LinkedIn profile and URL enrichment, and company change detection. It runs inside HubSpot, Pipedrive and Zoho, with Salesforce listed as coming soon, and also through file upload, a Google Sheets add-on, an API and an MCP server. Billing is credit-based and pay on success, so a credit is not consumed when no email is found. Prices are published in euros and the company repackaged its tiers in 2026, consolidating a longer ladder into Starter, Growth and Enterprise, which raised the entry point relative to earlier third party write-ups. Reviews are strong but thin, at 4.7 from 23 reviews on GetApp, with reviewers noting the pricing suits volume rather than occasional use below about 1,000 contacts a month.
Key features
- Algorithmic email generation and testing with no stored contact database, per their own description
- Native email validation including catch-all verification
- Duplicate detection and merging inside HubSpot and Pipedrive
- Job title cleaning with AI-assisted classification and civility standardisation
- Company enrichment with size, industry, website and SIREN codes
- LinkedIn profile and URL enrichment without a login
- Company change detection with real time notifications on Enterprise
- REST API, MCP server, Google Sheets add-on and csv, xls and txt file upload
Pros
- A genuinely different model: algorithmic generation and testing rather than serving records from a stored personal database, which is a cleaner story for a privacy review
- Pay on success billing, so credits are not consumed when no email is found
- Strong on the unglamorous work: duplicate detection and merging, job title cleaning, civilities and company name to domain matching
- Runs where the data already lives, inside HubSpot, Pipedrive and Zoho, plus Google Sheets, file upload, an API and an MCP server
- Credits carry over on Growth and above and are retained when downgrading
- Rated 4.7 from 23 reviews on GetApp, with customer support the highest sub-score at 4.9
Cons
- The 2026 repackaging consolidated six tiers into three and raised the entry price, so older third party figures understate the current cost
- Both Starter and Growth show the same 500 credit default volume on the pricing page, which makes the tiers harder to compare at a glance
- Reviewers report the pricing is unattractive below roughly 1,000 contacts a month
- No phone numbers or mobile data are advertised, so it does not cover calling workflows
- The review base is small, at 23 reviews on GetApp, so the sentiment signal is thinner than for larger vendors
Cost at scale
About EUR 948 per year on Starter at the default 500 credit volume, computed from EUR 79 per month, or about EUR 758 on annual billing at their stated 20% discount
Total funding
One round reported, from investors including the HEC incubator, with the amount not disclosed (reported)
| Plan | Price | Limits | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | EUR 79 per month, about EUR 63.20 per month on annual billing at their stated 20% discount | 500 credits per month at the page default, pay on success, email support, no credit carryover | 500 credits per month at the default volume shown, B2B email enrichment with native validation and catch-all verification, API, MCP server, Google Sheets add-on and file upload |
| Growth | EUR 120 per month, about EUR 96 per month on annual billing at their stated 20% discount | 500 credits per month at the page default, with higher volumes selectable | Everything in Starter plus credit carryover, LinkedIn profile and URL enrichment without a login, Job cleaning, AI job classification, company data enrichment, name to domain matching and company change detection |
| Enterprise | Custom quote | Quoted from 200,000 credits per month | Everything in Growth, Priority enrichment and real time notifications, Dedicated support |
From their published pricing, August 2026. Starter EUR 79 and Growth EUR 120 per month at the default 500 credit volume shown on the page, with about 20% off on annual billing, and Enterprise quoted from 200,000 credits a month. Third party breakdowns published materially lower entry prices before a 2026 repackaging that consolidated six tiers into three, so older figures circulate. Check their pricing page.
What reviews praise
- Reviewers describe the subscription cost as reasonable next to comparable data validation services
- Customer support is the highest sub-score at 4.9 out of 5
- Reviewers rate ease of use and features equally at 4.7 out of 5
- Integration partners including Waalaxy, Zapier, Pipedrive, PhantomBuster and Surfe carry 5.0 ratings on their GetApp listing
What reviews flag
- Reviewers report the pricing structure is less attractive for low-volume use, under roughly 1,000 contacts a month
- Value for money is the lowest sub-score at 4.6 out of 5
- With 23 reviews on GetApp, the sample is small enough that individual experiences move the score
- Third party breakdowns note that a credit is spent per enrichment attempt, so the effective cost per found contact can exceed the headline rate

From their published pricing in August 2026, Starter is EUR 79 a month and Growth is EUR 120 a month, both showing 500 credits at the default volume on the page, with about 20% off on annual billing. Enterprise is quoted from 200,000 credits a month. Third party write-ups still circulate lower entry prices from before a 2026 repackaging that consolidated six tiers into three, so check their pricing page before budgeting.
Dropcontact gives 50 free credits on signup with no commitment, which functions as a trial rather than an ongoing free plan. There is no free tier published alongside Starter, Growth and Enterprise.
Per their own description, it operates exclusively with algorithms and test servers rather than querying a stored contact database, working out the likely address from public company and naming patterns and then verifying it, including on catch-all domains. Their terms describe the service as carried out by an algorithm using an automatic process, and note that results cannot be guaranteed error free, particularly where names are shared. They publish a 98% validity claim, and over 85% on catch-all domains.
GDPR is their central positioning. They state that no personal information is stored or resold, and contrast their approach with tools that hold personal databases, where individuals would need to have given consent for their data to be used. These are the company's own claims. Dropcontact is a French company, registered in the Bobigny trade register under number 823 752 647.
On Growth and above, credits carry over while a paid subscription is active, and unused credits are retained when downgrading. Billing is pay on success, so a credit is not spent when no email is found. Their terms also state that any subscription period begun is due in full.
One of these tools is ours.
