🔄 The data freshness problem
20–30% of B2B contacts change roles every year — on a 10,000-contact CRM, that's 2,000–3,000 people no longer reachable at the same position annually.[1] Demand Science maintains a database refreshed periodically — meaning a meaningful portion of its data is already stale at any given time.
Enrich-CRM performs live lookups on every request — a proprietary LLM queries current public sources on EU servers, extracts data in memory, and returns what's true today. Plus continuous job change monitoring keeps your CRM updated automatically between enrichment runs.

⚙️ How Enrich-CRM works — vs Demand Science's approach
Demand Science is a intent data tool — data is collected once and refreshed periodically. Enrich-CRM takes the opposite approach: every enrichment is a live lookup.
You send identifiers you already own (email, LinkedIn URL, domain, company name…). A proprietary LLM — not OpenAI, not Anthropic, built in-house — runs SERP queries on EU servers, visits relevant public pages in logged-out mode, extracts and standardizes data entirely in memory, and returns a structured result to your tool in seconds.
Nothing is stored on Enrich-CRM servers post-enrichment. 100% EU pipeline on AWS Paris (eu-west-3). Unlike Demand Science, which relies on US infrastructure, Enrich-CRM's entire processing chain is EU-native.

⚠️ Key limitations of Demand Science
- • Enterprise-only pricing — not accessible for most mid-market teams
- • Primarily a demand generation service, not a CRM enrichment tool
- • US-based with limited EU data residency documentation
Enrich-CRM is a focused complement or alternative: real-time CRM enrichment from €29/month (Growth) or €75/month (CRM Connector with native HubSpot), 100 credits free to start, no annual contract.
🔀 Who switches from Demand Science to Enrich-CRM?
Teams move from Demand Science to Enrich-CRM when they realise their CRM is stale despite paying for a database subscription. The data they pulled six months ago has already decayed — job titles changed, people moved companies. Demand Science doesn't monitor your existing contacts: it gives you a list, but it doesn't update it. Enrich-CRM does the opposite — it keeps what you already have accurate, continuously.
