## Scalelist plans

### 500 credits/mo - $29/mo
*Annual: $24/mo billed annually ($290/year, 2 months free)*
*Credits: 500/month*

- 500 credits/month - light, occasional prospecting
- Triple email verification, mobile finder (10 credits), job-change monitoring
- API, Zapier, Make and HubSpot integration on every plan
- Rollover up to 2x your plan with an active subscription

**Catch:** The smallest paid tier. A credit is 1 email found and verified, or 1 lead extracted with the Chrome extension (email included); a mobile number costs 10 credits on the pricing page, so 500 credits = 50 mobiles at most.

### 1K credits/mo - $49/mo
*Annual: $41/mo billed annually ($490/year, 2 months free)*
*Credits: 1,000/month*

- 1,000 credits/month - solo SDR, light volume
- Triple email verification, mobile finder (10 credits), job-change monitoring
- API, Zapier, Make and HubSpot integration on every plan
- Rollover up to 2x your plan with an active subscription

**Catch:** 1,000 credits/mo = ~33 leads/day. Mobile reveals burn fast: 10 credits each on the pricing page (20 on the product pages), against 1 for an email. The Yearly toggle shows $41/mo billed $490 a year.

### 2K credits/mo - $89/mo
*Annual: $74/mo billed annually ($890/year, 2 months free)*
*Credits: 2,000/month*

- 2,000 credits/month - active SDR
- Triple email verification, mobile finder (10 credits), job-change monitoring
- API, Zapier, Make and HubSpot integration on every plan
- Chrome extension + bulk CSV enrichment

**Catch:** Per-credit cost is $0.0445 at this tier. Everything is included in every plan, so the tier only changes your credit volume.

### 5K credits/mo - $199/mo
*Annual: $166/mo billed annually ($1,990/year, 2 months free)*
*Credits: 5,000/month*

- 5,000 credits/month - active SDR or small pod
- Triple email verification, mobile finder (10 credits), job-change monitoring
- API, Zapier, Make and HubSpot integration on every plan
- Chrome extension + bulk CSV enrichment

**Catch:** Per-credit cost is about $0.04. The Yearly toggle shows $166/mo billed $1,990 a year. API, Zapier, Make and HubSpot are included at every tier, so you never need to upgrade just to automate.

### 10K credits/mo - $349/mo
*Annual: $291/mo billed annually ($3,490/year, 2 months free)*
*Credits: 10,000/month*

- 10,000 credits/month - sales pod
- Triple email verification, mobile finder (10 credits), job-change monitoring
- API, Zapier, Make and HubSpot integration on every plan
- Chrome extension + bulk CSV enrichment

**Catch:** Per-credit cost is about $0.035. Rollover accumulates up to 2x the plan (20,000 credits) while the subscription stays active.

### 20K credits/mo - $649/mo
*Annual: $541/mo billed annually ($6,490/year, 2 months free)*
*Credits: 20,000/month*

- 20,000 credits/month - growing sales team
- Triple email verification, mobile finder (10 credits), job-change monitoring
- API, Zapier, Make and HubSpot integration on every plan
- Rollover up to 2x your plan with an active subscription

**Catch:** The largest listed self-serve tier. Above it the pricing page shows 'Custom' for 100,000+ credits a month (Talk to Sales).

### Custom (100,000+ credits/mo) - Custom
*Annual: Talk to Sales*
*Credits: 100,000+/month*

- 100,000+ credits/month
- Priced on request
- Talk to Sales
- Same feature set as every plan

**Catch:** Sales-led: the pricing page shows 'Custom' with a Talk to Sales button for 100,000+ credits a month. No public price.

## Credit usage by action

- **Email reveal** - 1 credits
- **Mobile phone reveal** - 10 credits
- **Email verification (triple-source)** - Included credits
- **Bulk CSV enrichment (per row)** - 1 credits
- **Job-change monitoring (per contact)** - Included credits
- **Unused credits** - Roll over (up to 2x your plan) credits

## Hidden costs to watch

### Credits roll over (up to 2x your plan)
Unlike Hunter, Snov.io, or Apollo where unused credits expire at month-end, Scalelist credits roll over month-to-month while your subscription is active, up to 2x the credit limit of your plan (a 5,000-credit plan holds at most 10,000). Cancelling the subscription voids the balance.

### Email verification is bundled in the email credit
Triple-source email verification is included in every plan: 1 credit buys one email found and verified, and you are only charged for successful results. No separate verification line item to budget.

### Mobile reveals cost 10 credits, not 1
The pricing page says 1 mobile = 10 credits (the leads-finder and mobile-finder pages say 20). An email is 1 credit. A 5,000-credit plan therefore covers 500 mobiles at most, so phone-heavy SDRs burn through the pool much faster than email-only users.

### Annual billing = 2 months free (Yearly toggle)
The pricing page has a Yearly toggle labelled '2 months free': the 5K tier is $166/mo billed $1,990 a year instead of $199 monthly, and the 1K tier is $41/mo billed $490 a year instead of $49.

### API, Zapier and HubSpot are included at every tier
The pricing page lists 'API, Zapier, Make & more' and the HubSpot CRM integration under 'All Plans Include', so you do not have to buy a bigger tier just to automate. The real cost driver is your credit volume.

## Verdict

### Pick Derrick instead if
- You want enrichment in a web app with nothing to install, or right in Google Sheets
- You want a flfrom 20 EUR/mo with credits spent row by row, shared across the team
- You want to start free (100 credits/mo, no card) and scale without per-tier upgrade math

## Plan-by-plan breakdown

## How Scalelist's credit system works

Scalelist's pricing is volume-tiered, not per-seat. One plan, scaled by credits per month ($29 for 500 credits up to $649 for 20,000), gives you the credit pool whether you're 1 user or 5 - there are no seat fees. A credit = 1 email found and verified, OR 1 lead extracted with the Chrome extension (email included). A mobile number is 10 credits on the pricing page (20 on the product pages). You only pay for successful results. **Triple email verification is included**, and **unused credits roll over month-to-month** up to 2x your plan while the subscription is active.

The Chrome extension, bulk file/CSV enrichment, API, Zapier/Make integrations, HubSpot CRM integration and job-change monitoring are listed under 'All Plans Include' - there is no feature gating between tiers.

## Cost per action - Scalelist vs Derrick

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** | $29/month (500 credits) | Free plan · from €20/month |
| **Credit model** | One plan scaled by credits, roll-over up to 2x | Credit-based : 5 credits per work email, 200 per phone |
| **Per-seat fees** | None (flat per tier) | None |
| **Email verification** | Triple-source, included in the email credit | Included : a found work email is already verified |
| **Job-change monitoring** | Bundled, all plans | Via integrated providers |
| **Workflow** | Chrome extension + web app + Google Sheets sync + MCP server | Web app + Google Sheets add-on (sidebar) + MCP + REST API |
| **People-search / DB mode** | AI Leads Finder (describe your leads) | Search Companies / Search Leads |

Scalelist is strongest on its Chrome-extension workflow, rollover economics and bundled job-change monitoring. Derrick fits better when you want one credit pool across the web app, Google Sheets, MCP and API.

## Hidden costs explained

### What the pricing page doesn't show

There's a small free plan, not a perpetual free tier : the FAQ gives 50 free credits valid for 14 days (the pricing-page button says 20 credits), no card required. Mobile-number reveals consume 10 credits each on the pricing page (20 on the product pages) against 1 for an email, so phone-heavy prospecting adds up fast. Rollover is capped at 2x your plan and only works while the subscription is active. Above 100,000 credits a month the price is Custom (Talk to Sales). Lead discovery is limited to the AI Leads Finder and Chrome extension extraction : if you need a filter-based database to discover net-new accounts/contacts, Scalelist won't replace Apollo or Cognism.
