How many credits do I need?

There are 4 types of credits - Email, EmailAI, Prospect and Profile credit (previously "Scrape credit"). Simply speaking: 

• an Email credit is consumed every time FinalScout helps you find a valid email address*; 
• an EmailAI credit is consumed every time FinalScout EmailAI generates an email draft;
• a prospect credit is consumed every time you make a request (do a search or view a new page) in Prospect;
• a profile credit is consumed every time you scrape a basic Linkedin profile (without email address). 

* If your plan allows "Unlimited single email finding from LinkedIn & Sales Navigator", no email credit will be deducted from your account when you find emails from LinkedIn or Sales Navigator one by one.

Below is a list of credits cost for popular use cases:
