Review by a Growth Engineer

My verdict: the essential enrichment tool if you're prospecting in France.

I've been using Dropcontact for 3 years in all my outbound stacks. Why? Because it's the only tool that's truly GDPR-compliant - and that, when you work with large accounts or go through an audit, changes everything. Zero stored database, everything is calculated on the fly.

On the French market, data quality is 15-20% better than Apollo or Hunter. I tested on lists of SMBs/mid-sized companies: Dropcontact matches where others fail. The combo of enrichment + deduplication + native CRM integration saves time every week.

What I like less: the UX feels a bit dated (far from Clay), and the asynchronous API complicates real-time workflows. For mobile numbers, you'll need to complement with Kaspr or Lusha.

My advice: if you're mainly targeting France, go for it. If your market is US or Asia, look at Apollo or Clearbit instead.

Why add it to your stack?

If you're targeting the French market, Dropcontact is almost mandatory in your stack. It's the only enrichment tool that's truly 100% GDPR-compliant: no stored database, everything is calculated in real-time. With the tightening of CNIL controls, it's a strong argument for your audits and large accounts.

The data quality on French SMBs and mid-sized companies is significantly better than US alternatives (Apollo, Clearbit). And the native CRM integration allows you to automate enrichment without touching code.

What you can do with it

  • 1Automatically enrich your HubSpot/Salesforce leads with professional email, SIRET, and company info
  • 2Clean and deduplicate your CRM database before an outbound campaign
  • 3Verify emails from a scraped list before launching a cold email sequence

  • 5Bulk enrich a CSV file of prospects to prepare a campaign

What it does

  • Professional email enrichment
  • Email verification and cleaning
  • Company data normalization
  • Duplicate detection and merging
  • SIRET/SIREN enrichment
  • Native CRM integration (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive)

The detailed verdict

Do I really need this?

For any team targeting the French market, Dropcontact is almost indispensable. Native GDPR compliance is a game-changer: unlike US tools that store contact databases, Dropcontact calculates everything in real-time and keeps nothing. With the tightening of CNIL controls, it's a strong commercial argument.

Data quality on French SMBs and mid-sized companies is significantly better than US alternatives. The only case where Dropcontact isn't indispensable: if you exclusively target markets outside Europe.

Does it play nice with my stack?

Native HubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive integrations work very well. You set up automatic enrichment rules and data flows directly into your CRM fields. I've been using the HubSpot integration for 2 years with considerable time savings.

The downside: the API is asynchronous. For batch workflows, no problem. But for real-time (enriching a lead at form submission), it's more complex. On Make or n8n, you need to handle webhooks. No official SDK either.

Is it easy to pick up?

Getting started is simple for basics. In 30 minutes, you upload a CSV and launch an enrichment. Automatic column mapping is intuitive, and preview before validation prevents wasting credits.

For CRM integration, count 1-2 hours of configuration. The API requires more experimentation, the documentation lacks concrete examples. Support is responsive (responses within 24-48h) and offers onboarding sessions for Enterprise clients.

Is the UX any good?

Dropcontact's interface is not its strong point. Functional but dated, it looks a bit '2015' compared to Clay or Apollo. Navigation isn't always intuitive, some advanced features are hidden in submenus, and the stats dashboard remains basic.

However, reliability-wise, it's solid. In 3 years of intensive use, never a major outage or data loss. Enrichments are stable and consistent, you can build critical automations without fear.

Is it worth it?

At 24 euros/month for 1000 credits, Dropcontact positions itself in the upper-middle of the market. Data quality on the French market is excellent: I've measured match rates 15-20% higher than Apollo or Hunter on French companies. You're also paying for native GDPR compliance, a strong argument for audits or demanding large accounts.

The downside: unused credits are not rolled over. For variable usage, negotiate an annual plan with flexible pool. On large volumes (>10k/month), the Enterprise plan offers more negotiation room.

What I like

  • Companies targeting the French market with 15-20% better data quality than US alternatives
  • Teams concerned about GDPR who need native compliance for their audits
  • Automated CRM enrichment with HubSpot, Salesforce or Pipedrive

What I like less

  • Real-time workflows as the asynchronous API complicates instant integrations
  • Phone enrichment as Dropcontact doesn't provide mobile numbers
  • Markets outside Europe where US alternatives like Apollo or Clearbit are more performant
