Partner disclosure: Arrel partners with Prospeo and may benefit commercially from referrals. This comparison uses current public documentation for both vendors and does not treat vendor accuracy claims as independent evidence.
Our short answer: Prospeo is better suited to finding net-new people and companies, revealing global mobile numbers and enriching company-only records. Dropcontact is a focused alternative for teams that already have a person's name and company and want pay-on-success business email enrichment without a stored personal contact database.
| Decision | Prospeo | Dropcontact |
|---|---|---|
| Starting input | Search its database or enrich a person/company record | Named person plus company; no company-only enrichment |
| Entry allowance | Free 100; Starter 2,000 credits per user/month | 500 credits: Starter €29 or Growth €35 monthly |
| Email action | 1 credit for a found verified email | 1 credit for a found and verified business email, or one submitted verification |
| Mobile data | Personal mobile discovery at 10 credits | No personal mobile database in Files/API; business phones may be enriched |
| Rollover | No rollover | Growth only, while the subscription stays active |
Dropcontact prices in euros and exposes many volume tiers. Prospeo's current help center publishes credit allowances while directing exact dollar pricing to its live app. Taxes, currencies and CRM subscriptions can change the final bill.
Dropcontact's entry price is €29, not €79
The public selector initially shows a 4,000-credit tier, which can make the product look as if it starts at €79. The actual Starter entry is 500 credits for €29 monthly, or €24 per month equivalent annually. Growth begins at €35 monthly or €29 annual-equivalent.
At 4,000 credits, Starter is €79 monthly and Growth €120. Annual equivalents are €66 and €100. Self-serve tiers continue to 150,000 monthly credits, with Enterprise available above 200,000. Growth adds rollover while the subscription remains active; Starter credits do not roll over.
The products begin with different records
Prospeo lets a user search people and companies, filter them, reveal contact information and enrich records through CSV, integrations or API. It can also enrich a company without a named person. That supports list sourcing as well as enrichment.
Dropcontact needs a person's name and company to find the business email and related company data. It does not offer company-only enrichment. Its positioning is algorithmic, real-time processing rather than a stored personal contact database. That is a meaningful architectural and compliance preference for some European teams.
Pick Prospeo
Source and enrich prospects
You need searchable people and companies, personal mobile data, company-only enrichment, intent filters or one data layer for several outbound plays.
Pick Dropcontact
Enrich known identities
You already hold name and company fields, primarily need business email enrichment and value its no-personal-database processing model.
Both charge on successful email results
Prospeo uses one credit for a successfully found verified email and charges nothing when no result is found. Dropcontact uses one credit for a successfully found and verified business email, or for verifying an email you submit. Failed email searches are refunded.
Do not compare the vendors' accuracy percentages directly. Their claims use different samples and definitions. Run both on the same dated file, then measure valid coverage, catch-all handling, false positives and usable company fields.
Mobile and CRM requirements can settle the decision
Prospeo offers global verified mobile discovery at ten credits. Dropcontact Files/API does not sell personal mobile database access, though business phone enrichment may be returned and its separate CRM product can derive compliant numbers from a customer's own email signatures.
Prospeo Growth includes native CRM connections and selected CRM enrichment features. Dropcontact's CRM product is a separate custom subscription, and Email Finder credits cannot be reused there. If CRM enrichment is the goal, compare the combined quote rather than the self-serve credit plan.
