Reveal emails and phones when the account is worth it

Search finds; enrichment qualifies the send

Local Finder and Lead Search surface companies and people. Enrichment is the paid step that unlocks direct contacts — email and phone — when you decide the account is worth a message.

On paid plans, Local Finder and company searches are unlimited and do not burn credits. Credits are reserved for AI scores and contact reveals. See /pricing for credit pools and soft caps per plan.

What credits buy

Your monthly credit pool typically covers:

  • AI company validation (1 credit per company on paid plans)
  • Email reveals (soft monthly caps protect deliverability and cost)
  • Phone reveals (separate soft caps; not the same as free phone checks)

Free phone check vs paid phone reveal

Registered free users can run a company phone check for format and line type. That is a quality/sanity tool — it is not a paid direct-phone reveal from enrichment credits.

Compare Free, Starter, Pro, Growth, and company packs on Pricing to see credit pools and soft caps.
