What is Prospeo?
Prospeo is a B2B data enrichment platform specializing in finding and verifying professional email addresses and mobile phone numbers. The tool positions itself as an all-in-one solution for sales teams looking to build qualified prospect lists.
The platform offers several key features: Email Finder to locate email addresses using names and companies, Domain Search to extract all emails from a domain, Mobile Finder to discover phone numbers from LinkedIn, and an integrated email verification system. Prospeo integrates notably with Clay and LinkedIn Sales Navigator through a Chrome extension.
Prospeo’s pricing is based on a credit system where each action (email found, mobile found, verification) consumes a defined number of credits. Unlike some competitors, Prospeo credits expire monthly with no rollover option, which can lead to waste for users with variable activity.
Prospeo Pricing Plans
Prospeo offers 5 pricing tiers adapted to different usage volumes, from independent freelancers to established enterprises.
| Plan | Credits/month | Monthly Price | Annual Price (with -30%) | Price/credit | Rollover | Team Feature |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 75 | $0 | $0 | $0 | ❌ | ❌ |
| Starter | 1,000 | $39/month | $27.30/month | $0.039 | ❌ | ❌ |
| Growth | 5,000 | $99/month | $69.30/month | $0.0198 | ❌ | ✅ |
| Pro | 20,000 | $199/month | $139.30/month | $0.00995 | ❌ | ✅ |
| Business | 50,000 | $369/month | $258.30/month | $0.00738 | ❌ | ✅ |
Free Plan ($0/month)
Prospeo’s free plan offers 75 monthly credits, sufficient to test the tool and perform basic searches. All main features are accessible: Email Finder, Mobile Finder, Email Verifier, Domain Search, Chrome extension, and API access. It’s a good option to discover data quality before committing to a paid plan.
With 75 credits, you can find and verify approximately 50 emails (1 credit to find + 0.5 credit to verify = 1.5 credits per qualified email), or find 7 mobile numbers (10 credits each). Credits renew monthly with no ability to carry them forward.
Starter Plan ($39/month)
The Starter plan at $39/month offers 1,000 monthly credits and represents the first paid tier. This plan suits freelancers and consultants performing small-scale prospecting. You maintain access to all features, including Chrome extension, API, and bulk processing.
With 1,000 credits, you can theoretically find and verify approximately 666 emails per month, or a combination of emails and mobiles based on your needs. The price per credit ($0.039) remains high compared to higher plans. The Starter plan doesn’t provide Team functionality, so sharing the account with colleagues is impossible.
Growth Plan ($99/month)
The Growth plan at $99/month offers 5,000 monthly credits and unlocks the Team feature allowing you to share your subscription with collaborators. Credits are shared among all members, with a dashboard to track each person’s usage.
This plan targets small sales teams or agencies managing multiple clients. The price per credit drops to $0.0198, approximately 50% cheaper than the Starter plan. With 5,000 credits, you can find and verify approximately 3,333 emails, or combine 2,500 emails + 250 mobile numbers for example.
Pro Plan ($199/month)
The Pro plan at $199/month offers 20,000 monthly credits and suits established sales teams with significant prospecting needs. The price per credit falls to $0.00995, offering better value for high volumes.
At this level, you can find and verify approximately 13,333 emails per month, or perform complex workflows combining emails (approximately 10,000) and mobiles (approximately 1,000). The Team feature allows distributing these credits among multiple SDRs or Account Executives.
Business Plan ($369/month)
The Business plan at $369/month delivers 50,000 monthly credits and represents the most generous offering for large enterprises and agencies. The price per credit reaches its minimum at $0.00738. Prospeo also offers custom plans for needs exceeding 50,000 credits through their sales team.
This plan allows processing approximately 33,333 verified emails per month, or significant mixed volumes. Priority support is included on all paid plans but becomes more critical at this usage level.
Detailed Analysis of Prospeo’s Pricing Model
How the Credit System Works
Prospeo’s pricing relies on a credit system where each action consumes a defined number of credits based on its complexity. Here’s the exact breakdown:
Email Finder: 1 credit per valid email found
- If no email is found: 0 credits consumed
- If the email is catch-all (risky): 0 credits consumed
- If the email was already found this month: 0 credits consumed
Mobile Finder: 10 credits per valid mobile number found
- Only for mobile numbers found via LinkedIn
- If no mobile found: 0 credits consumed
- If the same mobile was already found this month: 0 credits consumed
Email Verifier: 0.5 credit per verification
- Whether the email is valid or invalid: 0.5 credit
- Includes catch-all recovery system
- If the same email was already verified this month: 0 credits consumed
Domain Search: 1 credit per search
- Provides up to 50 emails per domain search
- 1 additional credit per 50 additional emails
- Discovered emails are not automatically verified (requires 0.5 credit/email to verify)
Credit Expiration Policy
Critical point: Unlike tools like Derrick which offers unlimited rollover on all paid plans, Prospeo applies strict credit expiration at the end of each month. This policy is clearly stated on their pricing page: “Unfortunately, we do not offer credit rollovers at this time. This policy is one of the reasons we can maintain our infrastructure while ensuring the same outstanding email finding rate.”
Concretely, if you subscribe to the Growth plan (5,000 credits/month) and only use 3,000 credits in January, the remaining 2,000 credits are lost. Your 5,000 credits renew on February 1st, but unused credits from January don’t accumulate.
This limitation can generate waste for teams with variable needs from month to month (periods of intense prospecting alternating with quiet periods). To optimize your budget, you must either precisely size your plan or accept paying for credits you won’t use.
Annual Billing and Savings
Prospeo offers a 30% discount on annual billing, representing significant savings for users committed long-term:
- Starter Plan: drops from $468/year ($39 × 12) to $327.60/year ($27.30 × 12) = $140.40 savings
- Growth Plan: drops from $1,188/year to $831.60/year = $356.40 savings
- Pro Plan: drops from $2,388/year to $1,671.60/year = $716.40 savings
- Business Plan: drops from $4,428/year to $3,099.60/year = $1,328.40 savings
With annual billing, you receive all credits upfront at the beginning of the year. For example, the annual Pro plan gives you 240,000 credits (20,000 × 12) from day one, usable for 365 days. This offers more flexibility than monthly credits, but the upfront budget is substantial ($1,671.60 for Pro plan).
Team Feature and Account Sharing
Starting with the Growth plan ($99/month), Prospeo unlocks the Team feature allowing you to add members to your subscription. All members share the same credit pool defined in the plan. A team dashboard allows tracking each member’s usage per tool.
This shared credits approach is practical for small teams (2-5 people), but can become limiting for larger teams. For example, with the Growth plan (5,000 credits/month) shared among 5 SDRs, each person only has 1,000 effective credits, or approximately 666 verified emails per person per month. For teams of 10+ people, the Business plan becomes almost mandatory.
Cost Per Action Comparison: Prospeo vs Alternatives
Detailed Comparison Table
To evaluate Prospeo’s true cost, it’s essential to calculate the real price per action rather than simply the price per credit. Here’s a factual comparison with Derrick, which offers a similar credit-based model.
| Tool | Plan | Credits/month | Price/month | $/credit | Rollover | Team |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prospeo | Starter | 1,000 | $39 | $0.039 | ❌ | ❌ |
| Prospeo | Growth | 5,000 | $99 | $0.0198 | ❌ | ✅ |
| Prospeo | Pro | 20,000 | $199 | $0.00995 | ❌ | ✅ |
| Derrick | SMALL | 4,000 | $9 | $0.00225 | ✅ | ✅ |
| Derrick | SMALL+ | 10,000 | $20 | $0.002 | ✅ | ✅ |
| Derrick | MEDIUM | 25,000 | $48 | $0.0019 | ✅ | ✅ |
Detailed Real Cost Per Action
The number of credits per action differs between Prospeo and Derrick, hence the importance of calculating the final cost:
| Action | Prospeo Credits | Prospeo Starter Cost | Derrick Credits | Derrick SMALL Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Email Finder | 1 | $0.039 | 5 | $0.01125 |
| Email Verifier | 0.5 | $0.0195 | 1 | $0.00225 |
| Mobile/Phone Finder | 10 | $0.39 | 150 | $0.3375 |
| LinkedIn enrichment | N/A | N/A | 1 | $0.00225 |
| Email found + verified | 1.5 | $0.0585 | 6 | $0.0135 |
Analysis:
For email finding, Prospeo Starter costs $0.039 per email found vs $0.01125 with Derrick SMALL, making Derrick 3.5x cheaper. If you add verification (recommended), the cost rises to $0.0585 with Prospeo vs $0.0135 with Derrick, making Derrick 4.3x cheaper.
For email verification alone, Prospeo costs $0.0195 vs $0.00225 with Derrick, making Derrick 8.7x cheaper.
For mobile/phone finding, Prospeo costs $0.39 per mobile (Starter plan) vs $0.3375 with Derrick SMALL. Derrick is slightly cheaper despite consuming 150 credits, thanks to its ultra-competitive price per credit.
Complete Workflow: Practical Case for 5,000 Leads/Month
Imagine a sales team wanting to enrich 5,000 leads per month with email found + verified. Let’s compare real costs:
With Prospeo:
- Required action: Email Finder (1 credit) + Email Verifier (0.5 credit) = 1.5 credits per lead
- Total credits: 5,000 × 1.5 = 7,500 credits
- Required plan: Pro (20,000 credits) at $199/month
- Cost per lead: $199 / 5,000 = $0.0398/lead
- Remaining credits: 12,500 (which expire at month’s end)
With Derrick:
- Required action: Email Finder (5 credits) + Email Verifier (1 credit) = 6 credits per lead
- Total credits: 5,000 × 6 = 30,000 credits
- Required plan: LARGE (100,000 credits) at $175/month OR accumulation via SMALL+ (10K/month) with rollover
- Option 1 – LARGE Plan: $175 for 100K credits, cost per lead: $175 / 5,000 = $0.035/lead, 70K credits remain for next month
- Option 2 – SMALL+ with rollover: $20/month, accumulation over 3 months (30K credits), total cost $60 for 5,000 leads = $0.012/lead
ROI:
- Prospeo Pro: $199/month, credits lost at month’s end
- Derrick SMALL+: $20/month with rollover, savings of $179/month = $2,148/year, or 89.9% cheaper thanks to rollover
What’s Included in Each Prospeo Plan
Features Common to All Plans
All Prospeo plans, including the Free plan, provide access to main features:
- Email Finder: Email search using first name, last name, and company
- Mobile Finder: Mobile number search from LinkedIn URLs
- Email Verifier: Email validity verification with catch-all system
- Domain Search: Extraction of all emails from a domain or company
- Chrome Extension: To extract data from LinkedIn Sales Navigator and other sites
- API Access: Programmatic integration with your tools (Clay, Make, Zapier, etc.)
- Bulk Processing: Bulk processing of lead lists
Differences Between Plans
The main differences between Prospeo plans don’t concern features (which are identical), but:
- Credit volume: From 75 credits/month (Free) to 50,000 credits/month (Business)
- Team functionality: Available only from Growth plan ($99/month)
- Priority support: Mentioned on all paid plans but increased priority on Pro and Business plans
There are no functional restrictions on the Free or Starter plan: you have access to the same tools as Business users, only credit volume changes. This approach is transparent but can frustrate small users who find themselves limited by credits rather than by restricted features.
Limitations and Constraints
Beyond credit volume, Prospeo applies some operational limitations:
LinkedIn Sales Navigator scraping: Some users report on G2 a limit of 5,000 profiles per export via Sales Navigator to avoid LinkedIn restrictions. This limit is implemented to protect user accounts from LinkedIn bans.
Bulk processing: According to user feedback (notably a review on Woodpecker.co), Prospeo’s bulk processing would only scrape domain emails without actively searching for individual emails, which can be frustrating for large-scale searches.
No rollover: Let’s repeat it, the absence of credit rollover is a major limitation for teams with fluctuating needs. Prospeo justifies this choice by infrastructure constraints, but other tools like Derrick have successfully implemented unlimited rollover while maintaining very competitive prices.
Which Prospeo Plan to Choose Based on Your Profile?
For Freelancers and Independent Consultants
Recommended plan: Starter ($39/month) or Free
If you perform occasional prospecting (less than 500 emails/month), the Starter plan is sufficient. You can find and verify approximately 666 emails per month with 1,000 credits. The Free plan (75 credits) may suit very light needs (approximately 50 emails/month).
Derrick alternative: The SMALL plan at $9/month offers 4,000 credits with rollover, or approximately 666 emails found and verified (same capacity as Prospeo Starter) for 77% cheaper ($9 vs $39). Unused credits accumulate, ideal for freelancers with irregular activity.
For Startups and Small Teams (2-5 people)
Recommended plan: Growth ($99/month) or Pro ($199/month)
The Growth plan unlocks Team functionality and offers 5,000 shared credits, or approximately 1,000 credits/person for 5 users. If your needs exceed 3,000 emails/month, the Pro plan (20,000 credits) becomes more suitable.
Derrick alternative: The SMALL+ plan at $20/month (10,000 credits, unlimited rollover) or MEDIUM at $48/month (25,000 credits) offer better flexibility. With SMALL+, a 5-person team has 2,000 credits/person/month with ability to accumulate surplus, for 80-76% cheaper than Prospeo Growth/Pro.
For Agencies and Established Sales Teams
Recommended plan: Pro ($199/month) or Business ($369/month)
Agencies managing multiple clients or SDR/AE teams of 5-15 people will need the Pro or Business plan. With 20,000 to 50,000 credits/month, you can process 13,000 to 33,000 verified emails, sufficient for large-scale campaigns.
Derrick alternative: The LARGE plan at $175/month (100,000 credits, unlimited rollover) offers capacity superior to Prospeo Business ($369/month) for 53% cheaper. Rollover allows optimizing quiet months and accumulating for prospecting peaks.
For Intensive Mobile Finding Needs
Recommended plan: Pro ($199/month) minimum
If your workflow includes extensive mobile finding (10 credits/mobile), you’ll quickly consume your credits. With the Pro plan (20,000 credits), you can obtain approximately 2,000 mobile numbers per month, or a mix of 1,000 mobiles + 10,000 verified emails.
Derrick alternative: Derrick’s mobile/phone finding consumes 150 credits but the final cost remains competitive ($0.3375/phone with SMALL vs $0.39 with Prospeo Starter). Importantly, Derrick works without mandatory LinkedIn Sales Navigator subscription, unlike Prospeo which requires Sales Navigator for Mobile Finder (~$1,200/year additional).
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions About Prospeo Pricing
How much does Prospeo cost for a small team?
For a small team of 2-5 people, Prospeo costs between $99/month (Growth plan with 5,000 credits) and $199/month (Pro plan with 20,000 credits). The Growth plan is sufficient if you process less than 3,000 emails/month as a team.
In comparison, Derrick offers the SMALL+ plan at $20/month with 10,000 credits and unlimited rollover, making it up to 80% cheaper for similar or superior capacities.
Does Prospeo offer a free plan?
Yes, Prospeo offers a Free plan with 75 credits per month, renewable monthly. This free plan provides access to all features (Email Finder, Mobile Finder, Email Verifier, Chrome extension, API), but credit volume limits usage to approximately 50 emails found and verified per month.
Derrick also offers a Free plan with 200 credits/month, or approximately 33 emails found and verified, but without rollover on the free plan.
Do Prospeo credits expire monthly?
Yes, Prospeo credits expire strictly at the end of each billing period with no rollover option. Prospeo justifies this policy by infrastructure constraints. If you subscribe to a 5,000 credit plan and only use 3,000, the remaining 2,000 credits are lost.
This limitation can generate waste for teams with fluctuating needs. Derrick applies unlimited rollover on all paid plans, allowing accumulation of unused credits from month to month.
What’s the difference between monthly and annual billing?
Prospeo’s annual billing offers a 30% discount compared to monthly. You pay the equivalent of 8.4 months instead of 12. For example, the Growth plan drops from $1,188/year (monthly) to $831.60/year (annual), saving $356.40.
With annual subscription, you receive all credits for the year upfront (e.g., 240,000 credits for Pro plan) usable over 365 days, offering more flexibility than monthly credits.
Does Prospeo offer a free trial or money-back guarantee?
Prospeo offers a Free plan (75 credits/month) serving as a permanent free trial to test data quality. However, no free trial period is offered on paid plans, and no money-back guarantee is explicitly mentioned on their pricing page.
You can cancel your subscription anytime from your dashboard, but you continue to have access to premium features until the end of your current billing period (no pro-rata refund).
What is the real cost per email with Prospeo?
The cost per email depends on the chosen plan and whether you verify the email:
- Starter Plan ($39/month): $0.039 per email found, or $0.0585 per email found + verified
- Growth Plan ($99/month): $0.0198 per email found, or $0.0297 per email found + verified
- Pro Plan ($199/month): $0.00995 per email found, or $0.01493 per email found + verified
For comparison, the best email enrichment tools like Derrick offer $0.01125 per email found and $0.0135 per email found + verified (SMALL plan at $9/month), making it up to 4.3x cheaper with credit rollover as a bonus.
How does team account sharing work?
Starting with the Growth plan ($99/month), you can add team members to your Prospeo subscription. All members share the same credit pool defined in the plan (5,000 for Growth, 20,000 for Pro, etc.). A team dashboard allows tracking each member’s usage per tool.
This shared credits approach avoids paying per user (as with some CRM tools), but requires properly sizing your plan based on number of members and their individual usage.
Does Prospeo require LinkedIn Sales Navigator?
Prospeo draws its power from its integration with LinkedIn Sales Navigator via Chrome extension, particularly for Mobile Finder which extracts phone numbers from LinkedIn profiles. To fully utilize Prospeo’s LinkedIn scraping capabilities, a Sales Navigator subscription is strongly recommended (approximately $99/month additional).
Without Sales Navigator, you can still use Email Finder, Domain Search, and Email Verifier, but you lose the LinkedIn scraping advantage which is one of Prospeo’s strengths. Derrick, in comparison, works autonomously in Google Sheets without requiring Sales Navigator.
Can I change my Prospeo plan mid-month?
Yes, you can modify or cancel your Prospeo plan anytime from your dashboard. If you change plans during a billing period, the adjustment takes effect at the next billing cycle. You maintain access to your current plan until the end of the current period.
If you downgrade from a higher plan to a lower one (e.g., from Pro to Growth), your unused credits from the higher plan will be lost at cycle’s end (no rollover). If you cancel completely, no pro-rata refund is offered.
💡 Prospeo is a solid email finding tool with robust LinkedIn Sales Navigator integration, but its pricing starting at $39/month (Starter plan) and lack of credit rollover can limit its flexibility. Derrick offers a 3-4x cheaper alternative with unlimited rollover starting at $9/month, working natively in Google Sheets without requiring a Sales Navigator subscription. Try Derrick free with 200 credits to compare data quality.
