Key takeaways
- Compare cost per reachable person, not cost per record.
- Ask what uses a credit, and whether you pay for people with no email or phone.
How do you work out the real cost?
- Ask what uses a credit. Viewing, revealing or exporting? What if there is no email or phone?
- Ask about the contract. Monthly or yearly, seat minimums, auto-renewal.
- Test your own market. Search the people you want on a free plan and count who has an email or phone.
- Divide. Monthly price divided by the reachable people you can get.
| Pricing model | How it works | Ask about |
|---|---|---|
| Per seat, yearly | Each user pays, billed yearly | Seat minimums, auto-renewal |
| Monthly credits | A set number of contacts a month | What uses a credit |
| One-off list | Pay once for a file | How old the data is |
