Credits are consumed per action: 5 credits per phone number, 1 credit per email, 1 credit per download/export.
1 credit = 1 contact and all associated data points.
Scale tier pricing is negotiable. Volume credit discounts are available below the $0.06/credit list rate. A rep-quoted unlimited seats pilot at ~$5,000/yr has been offered — worth asking about if you have 18+ total users (12+ paid seats above the 6 free).
Professional user pricing is negotiable. List rate is $700/user/yr for additional seats, but a rep quickly offered all 5 users for $6,000 total ($600/user) without much pushback — likely room to go lower. Enterprise tier pricing on credit volumes is also negotiable, especially on 2-year contracts which unlock 10% bonus credits in year 2.
The right choice depends on your team size, workflow, and priorities. A few context-specific scenarios:
Data quality, deliverability, and coverage vary by region and use case — these comparisons are based on pricing structure only. Evaluate both tools on a trial before committing.
