What are phone credits, and how do they work?
Phone number credit - is a payment unit that you can use to search for phone numbers of specific contacts. 1 phone credit = 1 phone number.
Phone number credits are separate add-ons towards paid plans and are completely independent of the email search and email verification limits of your plan.
Furthermore, they are a separate payment segment from your plan, and they can be purchased only on a monthly basis.
If you have a yearly plan, you would have to buy phone credits separately, and there will be an automatic monthly renewal for them, independently of your yearly plan.
You can purchase phone credits with gaps of 150 numbers up to 1500 phone numbers per month. This means that your payment options are 150,300,450,600,750,900,1050,1200,1350 and 1500 credits. If you need more than 1500 credits per month, please reach out to support.
You can purchase phone credits only in addition to a paid subscription plan. Every plan includes 5 free phone credits.
