How are credits charged for free vs. paid users?

Email search credits for free and paid account users are charged in the same way. Credits from your balance get deducted only if you find deliverable emails with Valid and Catch-all email verification statuses.

For example, if you find a batch of 50 emails with the following results:

• 35 Valid
• 5 Catch-all
• 5 Invalid
• 5 Unknown

In this case, your free/paid account uses 40 (35+5) credits, accounting for the Valid and Catch-all email results.

Results with statuses such as Invalid and Unknown are not charged to ensure fair consumption of credits from your free or paid account. To learn more about verification statuses, please visit our detailed guide on Email Verification Statuses.
