Your account balance is held in US dollars. Every billable result deducts a small dollar amount from that balance. Throughout the docs you may see the word credit — read it as one billable result, priced in USD as shown below.

​
Standard prices

These are the starting per-result prices (before any volume discount — see Spend & Save tiers). Your effective price only goes down as your lifetime spend grows; your current rate is always shown in your billing settings.
OperationEndpointsPrice (USD)Billed
Real-time search & enrichPOST /search/realtime/*, POST /enrich/realtime/*$0.02per returned result
Database (cached) search & enrichPOST /search/database/*, POST /enrich/database/*$0.0067per returned result
Email FinderPOST /email/find/ (+ /bulk/)$0.02per valid email found
Email ValidationPOST /email/validate/$0.005per email checked
PreviewPOST /preview/leads/$0.002per returned result
Phone FinderPOST /phone/find/ (+ /bulk/)$0.40per found phone
Prices above are the Tier 0 (standard) rate. The more you spend over the lifetime of your account, the higher your discount tier and the lower every price becomes — automatically. See Spend & Save tiers.

​
How a charge is calculated

amount charged (USD) = billable results × operation price × your tier multiplier
Every API response reports exactly what it cost in meta.amount_charged (USD), so you never have to guess after the fact. 
{
  "data": [ ... ],
  "meta": { "amount_charged": 0.0402 }
}

​
What’s free

  • Database (cached) count endpoints (POST /search/database/*/count/) — a cached count, no charge.
  • Account, status, and webhook endpoints.
  • Not-found results on enrich, phone, and email find (see below).
Real-time count endpoints (POST /search/realtime/*/count/) are not free — each costs $0.02, because they hit live sources. Use the free database count to size an audience before paying.

​
No Data, No Charge — exactly where it applies

You are not billed for results we don’t return:
OperationIf nothing is found
Enrich lead / companyNot charged — the reserved amount is refunded automatically
Search (database or real-time)Billed per returned row — zero rows costs $0
Email FinderCharged only for valid emails found
Phone FinderCharged only for phones found
Email ValidationCharged per email checked — a verdict (valid, risky, catch-all, invalid) is the result you paid for
Real-time countFlat $0.02 per request (even if the count is 0)
Email Validation is the one case where every submitted address is billed: validation is the deliverable, so each checked email costs $0.005 regardless of its verdict.

​
Worked example

You enrich 100 leads in real time; 92 are found, 8 are not.
  • 92 × 0.02=∗∗0.02 = **1.84** charged
  • 8 not-found → $0.00 (refunded)
  • meta.amount_charged returns 1.84

​
Keeping a positive balance

API usage requires a positive balance. If it reaches $0, requests stop until you top up. Enable Auto Top-Up so production traffic never halts. New accounts start with free credit to try the API — your current balance is shown in your billing settings.
