Pay-as-you-go · results-only billing · no subscription
1 credit = $0.02, always. Buy a bundle once; credits never expire. Endpoints bill either per call or per result (as published). Search-style endpoints are typically per result returned. Status checks and inquiry endpoints are free.

Bundles
Card at first purchase — never charged by surprise; optional auto top-up is off by default. Credits work on every endpoint, REST and MCP.
How billing actually works
| Model | Endpoints | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Per call | email_finder · phone_finder · email_verifier · enrich_profile · company_enricher | Flat credits per successful call for the endpoint |
| Per result returned | people_search (0.1 cr/result) · lead_search (0.5 cr/result) | Ask for 100, get 73, pay 7.3 credits |
| Hybrid catalogs | web, social, ads, maps, normalization, utility endpoints | Each endpoint specifies per-call or per-result billing |
| Free | email/verification inquiry endpoints · usage · health | Always $0 |
| Endpoint | Billing model | Credits |
|---|---|---|
/v1/email_finder | Per call | 5 |
/v1/phone_finder | Per call | 25 |
/v1/email_verifier | Per call | 2 |
/v1/people_search | Per result | 0.1 |
/v1/lead_search | Per result | 0.5 |
/v1/geo_id_search | Per result | 0.01 |
Full endpoint-level pricing is defined by the public rate card. The execution_log and usage response fields show what ran and what was billed.

Worked examples
Enrich 2,000 profiles + find 1,000 emails + verify 1,000 (= 9,000 credits exactly) — a quarter's prospecting for a small pipeline.
A daily pipeline of 100 enrichments + 75 email finds + 75 verifications (~625 credits/day) for ~1.5 months.
One heavy agency month: 5,000 contacts enriched + email-found (~30,000 credits), with ~20,000 credits left for verification and signals. Buy again only when it's empty — it's a bundle, not a subscription.

Anti-promise block
Card & top-up explainer
The sandbox needs no card. Your first bundle does — that's the purchase. After that, the only thing the card is used for is optional auto top-up (off by default): when a production pipeline is mid-run and credits hit your threshold, we buy your chosen bundle instead of returning 402 at 6am. You set the threshold, the bundle, and a monthly cap. Every top-up emails a receipt.
