B2B database pricing, built on credits that never expire
Buy credits, reveal verified contacts, and keep what you don't use. Every paid plan rolls credits over forever, and we refund the credit on any invalid email — so your real contact database cost is only the contacts you can actually reach. Start free with 75 credits, no card required.

The lowest-cost way to get verified B2B data
cheaper than every major alternativeWe checked the current published 2026 pricing of the major contact-data platforms. B2B Database Network has a lower entry price and a lower cost per contact than all of them — with credits that never expire and no per-seat minimums. Figures are approximate entry prices; see the full breakdowns under /compare.
| Platform | Entry price | Cost per contact | Credits expire? |
|---|---|---|---|
| B2B Database Network | $0 free · $19/mo | 0.15–3.8¢ | Never (paid) |
| Apollo.io | $49/user/mo (3-seat min) | higher per-credit | Monthly |
| ZoomInfo | ~$15,000/yr floor | enterprise-only | Annual contract |
| Cognism | ~$1,500+/yr, sales-gated | premium | Annual |
| UpLead | $74/mo (170 credits) | ~44¢ | Monthly reset |
| Lusha | $36/mo (per seat) | thin entry pool | Monthly reset |
| RocketReach | $27/mo (annual)/$49 mo | lookup-metered | Metered |
| Hunter.io | $34/mo | search-metered | Monthly reset |
| Seamless.AI | sales-gated | opaque | — |
Competitor pricing figures are approximate vendor-stated claims from public 2026 pages, re-verified quarterly. Raw database size is not the same as deliverable contacts.Our data is deduped, quality-tiered, and verified at export, and our $19/mo (≈$17/mo annual) entry undercuts the lowest major while our cost per contact (to 0.15¢) is a fraction of credit-metered rivals.
How credits work
A credit is the unit you spend to reveal a verified contact. One credit unlocks one email address or one direct dial. Everything that comes before the reveal costs nothing: searching the database, applying filters, watching the live count update, and previewing masked results. You spend a credit only when you decide a specific person is worth reaching. That single design choice is what keeps email finder pricing honest here: you are not paying for a search, a seat, or a monthly minimum. You are paying for contacts you chose to unlock.
Each plan grants a pool of credits. Monthly and annual plans refill that pool on every billing cycle, and anything you did not spend carries over into the next one. Lifetime plans drop a fresh batch into your balance every month for as long as the account exists. Whatever the source, all credits land in one balance and behave the same way: the app and the API both draw from it, and a reveal costs the same credit whether it happens in the dashboard or through a script.
Re-revealing a contact you already own is always free. If you unlocked a person last quarter and need their details again today, you are not charged a second time. The same goes for a contact whose email later turns out invalid; that credit comes straight back. The result is a balance that reflects real value delivered, not a meter that ticks regardless of outcome.
What one credit buys
- One verified reveal — a single business or consumer email, or a direct phone number, with a verdict and a freshness date attached.
- Free re-reveals — pull a contact you already own as many times as you like at no extra cost.
- A refund on invalids — if export verification marks the address dead, the credit returns to your balance.
- Free qualification — searches, filters, counts, and masked previews never touch your balance.
Every plan, compared
The grid above shows live prices and credit grants straight from the catalogue, so the numbers there are always current. The table below lays out how the plans differ on the things people actually compare when they weigh contact database cost: who each plan suits, roughly how many reveals it covers, and which capabilities switch on. Read it left to right to find the lowest plan that clears your monthly volume. There is no penalty for starting small and upgrading later, because your unused credits come with you.
| Plan | Best for | Credits / month | Roll-over | API + MCP | Export presets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Trying the data | 75 (one-time) | Yes | Read-only | CSV |
| Starter | Solo founders, side projects | 500 | Yes | Included | All tools |
| Growth | Growing sales teams | 2,500 | Yes | Included | All tools |
| Professional | Full-time outbound | 10,000 | Yes | Included | All tools |
| Agency / Enterprise | Multi-client volume | 50,000+ | Yes | Higher limits | All tools |
Live prices and per-credit rates are shown on the plan cards above and may shift as the catalogue updates. The capabilities here apply across the lineup unless a row says otherwise.
Which plan fits your volume
A useful rule of thumb: estimate the number of new contacts you reveal in a typical month, add a little headroom, and pick the plan whose credit grant clears that number. Because credits roll over, over-buying is not wasted. A quiet month simply banks credits for a busy one. The only real mistake is paying for seats and minimums you do not need, and there are none of those here.
- Under 500 reveals a month — Starter, with credits banking for spikes.
- A few thousand — Growth, the most popular plan, sized for a working outbound motion.
- Five figures — Professional, for a full-time SDR or a busy founder-led team.
- Agency or programmatic volume — the top tier and the API plans, where the per-credit rate is lowest.
Credits never expire — why that matters
Most lead database credits come with a hidden catch: they reset every month. Buy a year of a plan, run a slow quarter, and the credits you paid for vanish on schedule. That is not a billing detail. It is a deliberate way to charge you for capacity you never used, and it quietly pushes you to over-buy and rush your outreach to "use it or lose it." We took the opposite position. Credits you buy are yours until you spend them.
This changes how you plan. Outbound is seasonal for almost everyone: a launch month, a conference push, a hiring sprint. A fair credit model should absorb that rhythm instead of punishing it. When credits roll over, a quiet January funds a busy March. You can buy at the volume that earns the best per-credit rate without worrying that half the pool will evaporate. And if you cancel, you walk away with the credits you already paid for, not an empty balance.
One exception, stated plainly: the Free plan is the only tier that resets. Its 75 monthly credits refresh each month and do not roll over — roll-over and never-expire are benefits of the paid plans. Free is for trying the product; paid is where your credits become yours to keep.
The practical effect on your cost
Roll-over quietly lowers your true cost per contact. A plan that looks more expensive on paper can be cheaper in practice if a competitor is silently expiring a third of your balance each month. The honest way to compare email finder pricing is per usable contact over a real year of uneven usage, and that is exactly the comparison roll-over is built to win.
- Bank credits in slow months and spend them in busy ones.
- Buy at a volume that earns a better rate without fear of waste.
- Keep every credit you paid for, even after you cancel.
- Stop letting a monthly reset inflate your effective contact database cost.
Lifetime deals (capped launch)
A lifetime deal is a one-time payment that grants you monthly credits forever. Instead of paying every month, you pay once and a fresh batch of credits lands in your balance each month for the life of the account. It is the best value per credit we offer, and it is also the offer we are most careful about, which is why it is capped.
Each lifetime tier has a fixed number of units. The card for every tier shows how many remain in real time, and when a tier sells out, it is closed for good. We do not reopen it or quietly mint more. The reason is simple: an endless supply of pay-once accounts would eat the recurring revenue that keeps the database fresh and the verification engine running. A genuinely capped run lets early adopters lock in a great deal without mortgaging the product they are buying into.
How lifetime credits behave
Lifetime credits follow the same rules as every other credit on the platform. They roll over and never expire, they refund on invalid emails, and they work identically in the app and through the API. The only difference is where they come from: a monthly top-up you already paid for, rather than a recurring charge.
| Aspect | Monthly plan | Lifetime deal |
|---|---|---|
| Payment | Recurring (monthly or annual) | One-time |
| Credit grant | Refills each cycle | Refills every month, forever |
| Roll-over | Yes, never expire | Yes, never expire |
| Invalid-email refund | Yes | Yes |
| API + MCP access | Included | Included |
| Availability | Always open | Capped — closes when sold out |
If a lifetime card above reads "Sold out," that tier has closed and will not return. The remaining tiers show their live unit count.
API & MCP pricing
The API is not a separate product with separate economics. It runs on the same credit balance and the same per-reveal cost as the app, so you never have to reason about two pricing models at once. What the API plans add is volume and throughput: larger monthly credit grants and higher rate limits, sized for scripts, enrichment pipelines, and agents that pull contacts continuously rather than a person clicking one at a time.
Getting started takes minutes. Sign up, generate an API key, and call the REST endpoints for search, reveal, lookup, and enrichment, with no sales call and no waiting list. For AI-native work, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server exposes the database as a first-class tool, so an assistant can run a search, reveal a contact, and verify an email on its own. Tools like Clay-style enrichment workflows and AI-SDR platforms plug in the same way your own code does.
What API plans include
- One shared balance — API spend and app spend draw from the same never-expiring credit pool.
- Instant keys — create and rotate keys yourself, start building the same day.
- Full REST surface — search, reveal, lookup, and enrich, with typed errors and clear rate-limit headers.
- MCP server —
search_leads,reveal_contact, andverify_emailtools for agents. - Same guarantees — verified-at-export, invalid refunds, and suppression apply to every programmatic call.
Pricing FAQ
How does B2B Database Network pricing work?
Pricing is credit-based. You pick a plan, get a pool of credits, and spend one credit to reveal a verified contact (email or direct dial). Searching and previewing masked results is free, so you only spend when you reveal a contact you actually want. On paid plans, unused credits roll over month to month while your plan is active, and any credit spent on an email that comes back invalid at export is refunded automatically. You can add teammates to one shared credit pool with no per-seat fees (unlimited seats on Elite), and there are no overage surprises because plans have hard caps by default.
What is the cost per contact?
It depends on the plan you choose, because higher volumes earn a lower per-credit rate. On the entry plan you might pay close to four cents per reveal. On a high-volume agency plan the same reveal can drop below a third of a cent. Each plan card shows its live per-credit rate. Because invalid emails are refunded, your effective cost per usable contact is lower than the headline rate suggests.
How does credit rollover work?
On a paid plan, unused credits roll over month to month while your plan is active — there is no monthly reset that quietly burns what you did not use, and high-volume tiers earn a lower per-credit rate. Rollover is a benefit of an active subscription: if your plan lapses, credits stop rolling over and your balance is held until you resubscribe. The Free plan is the one exception — its 75 monthly credits reset and do not roll over.
Can I add my team?
Yes. You can invite teammates into one shared account that draws from a single shared credit pool — there are no per-seat fees. As the owner you see exactly who used how many credits, so usage is transparent across the team. Seat counts scale with your plan, and the Elite plan ($1,499/mo) includes unlimited seats.
What happens to my unlocked contacts if I cancel?
Your previously unlocked contacts are kept, but downloading or exporting them requires an active subscription. If your plan ends, you can resubscribe to any plan to regain download access to everything you already unlocked. Your credit balance is preserved while you are away and becomes usable again the moment you reactivate.
How do refunds work?
All refunds are issued as account credits, never back to the original payment method. Credits never lose value, apply instantly, and can be spent on any reveal or export. The most common 'refund' is automatic: any credit spent on an email that turns out invalid at export is credited straight back to your balance.
What happens when an email is invalid?
Every contact is verified at the moment you export. If an address comes back invalid (the mailbox does not exist or the server rejects mail), the credit you spent is refunded to your balance automatically. You see the full verdict mix (valid, catch-all, risky, invalid) before the file leaves the platform, so there are no quiet bounces and no paying for dead addresses.
Is there a free plan for the contact database?
Yes. Signing up gives you 75 free credits with no credit card required. That is enough to run real searches, reveal a batch of verified contacts, and export them to your CRM or cold-email tool so you can judge the data on your own list before paying anything.
Can I pay annually instead of monthly?
Yes. Annual billing is priced at eleven times the monthly rate, so you get one month free for paying yearly. You can choose monthly or annual at checkout. The credit grant and the never-expire rule are identical either way.
How does API and MCP pricing compare?
API plans draw from the same never-expiring credit balance as the app, so a reveal costs the same whether it runs in the dashboard or through a script. You get an instant API key with no sales call, a REST API for search, reveal, lookup, and enrichment, and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so AI agents can query the database directly. API plans differ from app plans mainly in their higher monthly credit grants and rate limits.
Are the lifetime deals going to be available forever?
No, and that is deliberate. The lifetime deals are a strictly capped launch instrument: a single shared pool of 100 units total across all lifetime tiers, with the remaining count shown live on every card. Once those 100 are gone, lifetime is closed for good. We do not run perpetual lifetime offers because an unlimited pile of pay-once accounts would starve the roadmap. The cap is the honest version of an early-adopter deal.
What payment methods and currencies do you accept?
Checkout accepts all major credit and debit cards through a secure, PCI-compliant processor. Pricing is shown and charged in US dollars. Invoices and receipts are available for every payment, and subscriptions can be cancelled at any time with no long-notice clause, so you keep the credits you have already bought.
