Pay-per-lead pricing, explained

How Prospect Cheap credits work — what a search costs, what comes back, how plans renew and what happens to extra credits.

Updated Oct 23, 2026 · 1 min read

One credit per lead

Every scraper costs one credit per lead it finds. A search that finds nothing costs nothing, and so does a search that fails. Exporting and sending to your tools are free.

Reserve, then refund

When a search starts, the most it could cost is set aside. When it finishes, you're charged for what it actually found and the rest goes back. Ask for 500 businesses, get 320 — you pay 320.

Yearly billing is cheaper and gives the year's credits up front. Every plan includes every scraper, website enrichment, the integrations, and API and MCP access. See pricing.

Plan credits vs extra credits

  • Plan credits arrive with each renewal and are used first. What's left at the end of a period doesn't carry over — the new period's credits replace it.
  • Extra credits — credit packs and custom top-ups, available while you're subscribed — roll over month to month.
  • All credits end if the subscription ends.

Free credits to start

New accounts get free credits, so your first search costs nothing.

Upgrades and downgrades

Upgrading starts now: you pay the difference for the rest of the period and get the extra credits straight away. Downgrades take effect at your next renewal.

Keeping costs down

  • Start with a small number per search to check the data, then scale.
  • Use specific terms and categories rather than broad ones.
  • Filter before you send — you only pay for finding leads, not for sending them.

Frequently asked questions

No. You're charged one credit per lead found; a search that finds nothing or fails costs nothing.
