Pricing analysis Scalelist lists $49-$929/mo across 6 volume tiers, with no per-seat fees and credits that roll over. The real story : free email verification + bundled job-change monitoring make it cheaper-in-practice than Hunter or Snov.io for SDR pods. Below : tier breakdown + 5 hidden cost triggers + how Derrick's $10/mo flat fits as a Sheet-native alternative.
Scalelist ships 6 tiers. Per-seat pricing combined with a credit system for data lookups - the listed price is rarely the real cost.
scalelist pricing tiers — verified May 2026 against the vendor and cross-checked with our review data:
| Plan | Price | Best for | Limits / Inclusions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scaler 1.5K | $49/mo ($49/mo (no public annual discount)) | 1,500 credits/month — solo SDR, light volume | 1,500 · 1,500 credits/month — solo SDR, light volume · Roll-over credits (rare in category) |
| Scaler 5K | $99/mo | 5,000 credits/month — active SDR or 2-person duo | 5,000 · 5,000 credits/month — active SDR or 2-person duo · Roll-over credits, free verification |
| Scaler 15K | $199/mo | 15,000 credits/month — sales pod 3-5 reps | 15,000 · 15,000 credits/month — sales pod 3-5 reps · API access unlocked |
| Scaler 30K | $339/mo | 30,000 credits/month — growing sales team | 30,000 · 30,000 credits/month — growing sales team · All integrations + CRM sync |
| Scaler 50K-100K | $549-$929/mo | 50K-100K credits/month | 50K-100K · 50K-100K credits/month · High-volume teams |
| Enterprise | Custom | 100K+ credits/month | 100K+ · 100K+ credits/month · Custom annual contract |
Scalelist bills actions in credits with non-equal costs. A 5,000-credit plan does NOT mean 5,000 lookups.
Scalelist's pricing is volume-tiered, not per-seat. The same Scaler 5K plan ($99/mo) gives you the credit pool whether you're 1 user or 5 — there are no seat fees. A credit = 1 lead extracted from LinkedIn OR 1 email found OR 1 mobile found. Critically, email verification is free (unlike Hunter or Snov.io which charge for it), and unused credits roll over month-to-month — also unusual in the category.
The Chrome extension and bulk file/CSV enrichment are included on every paid tier. API access, Zapier/Make/n8n integrations, and HubSpot CRM sync are available from Scaler 15K up. Job-change monitoring is bundled across all paid plans (no surcharge).
How Scalelist stacks against Derrick, Hunter, and the other tools we benchmarked.
Side-by-side : Scalelist versus Derrick App on the cost lines that drive total spend, not just the headline tier price :
| Dimension | Scalelist | Derrick App |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing entry | $49/month (1.5k credits) | $10/mo flat |
| Credit model | Volume-tiered, roll-over | Unlimited rows in Sheets |
| Per-seat fees | None (flat per tier) | None |
| Email verification | Triple-source, included free | Real-time, included |
| Job-change monitoring | Bundled, all paid plans | Via integrated providers |
| Workflow | Chrome extension + web app | Native Google Sheets formulas |
| People-search / DB mode | Not available | Search Companies / Search Leads |
Scalelist wins on workflow polish, rollover economics, and job-change monitoring. Derrick wins on workflow fit when your data already lives in Sheets and on per-row cost at scale.
What you actually get on Scalelist's paid tiers (synthesised from real-user G2 + Capterra reviews) :
Scalelist is the right tool for SDRs who already have a lead source and want a clean, fair-priced layer for enrichment + job-change monitoring. The rollover credits and free verification turn out to be bigger deals in practice than they sound on paper — they remove two recurring sources of cost-creep. The product fails as a one-stop solution because there's no database mode and no sequencer. If you've outgrown Hunter on price-per-credit, or you're hunting for a way to track moving champions without buying a second tool, Scalelist is the obvious upgrade.
For Sheet-native workflows where you want enrichment to happen IN your existing spreadsheet (not in another Chrome extension), Derrick at $10/mo flat is the lower-friction comparison anchor — unlimited rows, no per-tier upgrade math, and the same email + phone + tech stack data via integrated providers.
Scalelist starts at $49/month (Scaler 1.5K tier — 1,500 credits/mo · roll-over · all features · 1 user). Higher tiers : Scaler 5K $99/mo, Scaler 15K $199/mo (unlocks API + CRM sync), Scaler 30K $339/mo, Scaler 50K-100K $549-$929/mo, Enterprise custom. No per-seat fees on any tier. For a flat-rate alternative without credit caps or tier-upgrade math, Derrick App is $10/month for unlimited rows enriched in Google Sheets.
Scalelist's free tier provides free email verifier (no credits) + free email finder (limited daily lookups) — useful for evaluation but rarely enough for production use. Paid plans start at $49/month. For a genuinely free entry point with sustainable monthly volume, Derrick App offers a free tier with 100 credits/month and no credit card required.
Apollo charges 8 credits per mobile phone reveal ; Scalelist charges 1 credit (same as email reveal). At Scaler 5K ($99/mo, 5,000 credits), that's 5,000 mobile reveals/mo = $0.0198 per mobile. Apollo Pro ($59/seat/mo, 833 credits/mo) = $0.567 per mobile. For phone-heavy SDRs doing 50+ mobile reveals/day, Scalelist is materially cheaper. Lusha ($49.90 Starter, 400 credits at 1-credit-per-phone) = $0.125 per mobile — still 6× more than Scalelist's per-credit cost.
Yes — and it's one of the platform's biggest unsung pricing advantages. Unused credits roll over month-to-month indefinitely (as long as the subscription stays active). Hunter, Snov.io, and Apollo all reset credits at month-end ("use it or lose it"). For seasonal outbound workflows where Q1 is light and Q2 is heavy, the rollover model can save 30-40% versus a higher tier sized for peak month. Cancelling the subscription voids rollover balance.
For Sheet-native workflows, Derrick App at $10/month flat is the most direct lower-cost alternative — unlimited rows, no tier-upgrade math. For broader B2B database access at low entry cost, Apollo has a generous free tier (10K credits/month). For pure email finding, Hunter starts at €34/month. See the full Scalelist alternatives guide for the ranked decision framework.
Per 5,000 credits/mo : Scalelist Scaler 5K $99/mo (verification free, credits roll over), Hunter Growth €104/mo + verification charged separately (~€20-30/mo extra), Snov.io 5K $69/mo + verification credits separate. Headline price favors Snov.io, but once you add verification costs, Scalelist ends up cheapest in practice for teams doing > 2K verifications/mo. Hunter wins for Domain Search use cases (account-based outbound, not contact enrichment).
