How many leads can I extract and verify on the free plan?

If you signed up for a free Consulti account and want to know "how many leads / verifications do I actually get?", here's the short answer.

What free actually gives you

| Credit type | At signup | Refilled monthly | What it pays for | |---|---|---|---| | lead_credits | 1,000 | 1,000 | Unlocking a lead from the B2B / Local / Creator databases (1 credit per lead) | | verification_credits | 1,000 | 1,000 | Verifying an external email (your own list / CSV upload). Verifying leads you unlocked from Consulti is free. |

So if you do nothing else, in your first month a free account can unlock 1,000 leads and verify 1,000 external emails. Both pools refill at the start of each month while you stay on Free.

Common confusion: two different credit pools

Bulk Verifier and Single Verify use verification_credits. Unlocking a lead from the database uses lead_credits. They're not interchangeable — having 1,000 lead_credits won't unlock the Bulk Verifier if your verification_credits are spent.

Check both pools at Settings → Subscription.

What free does NOT include

Consulti is a lead-database + email-verification product — it doesn't send cold emails. There's no "monthly email send" allowance because nothing in the app sends mail on your behalf. To actually send to leads you unlocked, export them to a sender like Instantly, Smartlead, or EmailBison.

Free plan export cap

When you export a list from the database, the free plan is capped at 100 leads per export. Run more exports to get more rows, or upgrade to remove the cap entirely (Pro/Scale/Titan: unlimited per export).

Need more?

Paid plans bump both pools and remove the export cap. See /pricing for current tiers, or contact support to talk through volume needs.
