Pricing analysis Seamless.AI 2026 restructure : the old Basic tier (~$147/mo) has been ELIMINATED — seamless.ai/pricing now shows only Free, Pro (contact-sales, no public pricing) and Enterprise. Free still 50 lifetime credits (one-time, never renew). Pro keeps the 5-user minimum and is annual-commit. Per third-party reports, Pro deals typically land $4,740-$9,000/year for 5 users. API access still Enterprise-tier only.
Seamless.AI ships 3 tiers. Per-seat pricing combined with a credit system for data lookups - the listed price is rarely the real cost.
Seamless.AI uses an expiring credit system where 1 credit = 1 contact search. Unlike other tools, you pay the credit even if the email bounces or the phone number is incorrect.
| Plan | Credits | Price/month | Price/credit | Commitment | Expiration |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 50 (lifetime) | $0 | $0 | – | Never |
| Pro | 1,000/day (quote-only) | Contact sales (5-user min) | ~$0.013-0.025* | 12 months | End of day |
| Enterprise | Custom | $20K-100K/year | Variable | 12 months | Negotiable |
⚠️ Critical issues identified by users (G2, Reddit, May 2026):
The free plan offers 50 non-renewable credits. Once consumed, they’re gone permanently. You get access to basic features (contact search, Chrome extension, basic CRM integrations), but support is limited to the knowledge base.
This plan is suitable for testing the platform, but insufficient for any serious prospecting (50 contacts = approximately 1-2 days of activity for an active SDR).
The Pro plan is now contact-sales only — Seamless publishes no price. According to multiple third-party sources (Reddit May 2026, G2 reviews):
Daily refresh feature: The 1,000 Pro credits refresh every day but expire at midnight. This “use it or lose it” system can be advantageous for highly active teams, but generates waste if your prospecting is irregular (unlike Derrick where credits accumulate without limit on all paid plans).
Optional add-ons available:
These add-ons represent additional costs not publicly disclosed.
The Enterprise plan targets large organizations (25+ users). Pricing is not public, but market data indicates:
Additional features:
Seamless.AI bills actions in credits with non-equal costs. A 5,000-credit plan does NOT mean 5,000 lookups.
How Seamless.AI charges per action - the credit table buyers should memorise before signing :
| Action | Credits / cost |
|---|---|
| Email lookup (charged even on bounce) | 1 ⚠️ |
| Phone lookup | 1 |
| LinkedIn enrichment | 1 |
| Email verification | 1 ⚠️ |
| Unused credits (Pro = DAILY expiry) | Lost every night ⚠️ |
The ✅ markers are bundled / free. The ⚠️ markers are the line items that compound the bill - watch these closely when sizing your plan.
How Seamless.AI stacks against Derrick, Hunter, and the other tools we benchmarked.
| Tool | Plan | Credits/month | Price/month | $/credit | Rollover | Commitment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seamless.AI | Pro (quote-only) | ~30,000* | Contact sales | ~$0.013-0.025 | ❌ | 12 months |
| Derrick | SMALL+ | 10,000 | $22 | $0.0022 | ✅ | Monthly |
*Pro: 1,000 credits/day × 30 days, minimum 5 users. Per-credit derived from third-party Pro deal reports — Seamless publishes no public price.
Observation: Even against Seamless.AI Pro's best-case effective rate, Derrick is roughly 6-11x cheaper per credit ($0.0022 vs ~$0.013-0.025) — and Pro additionally requires:
Seamless.AI charges 1 credit per action (email, phone, enrichment). Derrick uses a variable system based on action complexity. Seamless Pro cost below is the best-case effective rate (~$0.025/credit) derived from third-party deal reports — Seamless publishes no public price.
| Action | Seamless Pro Credits | Seamless Pro Cost (best case) | Derrick Starter Credits | Derrick Starter Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Professional email search | 1 | $0.025 | 5 | $0.011 |
| LinkedIn enrichment | 1 | $0.025 | 1 | $0.0022 |
| Direct phone search | 1 | $0.025 | 150 | $0.33 |
| Email verification | 1 | $0.025 | 1 | $0.0022 |
For email, LinkedIn and verification, Derrick is dramatically cheaper per action. Phone is Derrick's only premium action (150 credits) — but Seamless Pro phone lookups also fail at the same 20-30% rate while still consuming a credit.
Objective: Find email + phone for 500 B2B prospects

Rate limits: Seamless.AI applies scraping limits to prevent abuse. Multiple G2 users report temporary blocks after intensive use.
Data quality: Sensitive point. Recurring feedback on G2 and Reddit (2026):
Native integrations: Seamless.AI integrates with Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, etc., but unlike Derrick which works natively in Google Sheets, you must manually export your lists or configure third-party integrations (Zapier, Make).
💡 Derrick works 100% within Google Sheets, eliminating CSV exports and workflow friction. For teams already working in Sheets, it’s a significant time saver.
Seamless.AI is an established sales intelligence platform with an extensive database. However, multiple friction points emerge from user feedback (G2, Reddit, 2026):
Identified issues:
For teams prioritizing transparency, flexibility, and ROI, Derrick represents a 16x cheaper alternative with:
💡 Stuck with a Seamless.AI Pro quote (5-seat annual commit)? Try Derrick for free and compare: Free trial 200 credits →
The only paid option is the Pro plan, which is contact-sales only (5 users minimum, annual commitment). Seamless publishes no public price; per third-party reports, deals land roughly $4,740-9,000/year for 5 seats. If you’re a team of 2-3 people, you still have to pay for 5 licenses.
For small teams, Derrick offers plans from $10/month without minimum users (credits shared in a pool).
Yes, Seamless.AI offers a free plan with 50 lifetime credits (non-renewable). It’s sufficient to test the platform, but insufficient for serious prospecting (50 contacts = ~2 days of activity).
Derrick also offers a free plan with 200 credits/month renewable (vs 50 lifetime at Seamless.AI).
Yes, paid credits expire:
In contrast, all Derrick paid plans include unlimited rollover. Your credits accumulate from month to month without time limit.
Yes, Seamless.AI offers additional credit packs. According to user feedback (Reddit 2026), packs cost approximately $49 for 500 credits (i.e., $0.098/credit).
However, this option is not prominently featured publicly and prices vary depending on your base plan and team size.
Seamless no longer offers a low-cost self-serve paid tier — the old Basic (~$147/mo) was removed. Your only options are the Free plan (50 lifetime credits, fine for a quick test) or a contact-sales Pro quote (5-user minimum, annual commitment).
Recommended alternative: Derrick Growth at $22/month (10,000 credits with rollover) gives a self-serve, no-minimum, monthly-billed path with total flexibility (no annual commitment).
No. According to multiple user testimonials (G2, Reddit), Seamless.AI consumes a credit as soon as you “reveal” a contact, even if the email bounces or the phone is incorrect.
With an average bounce rate of 20-30%, this means 20-30% of your credits are wasted on unusable data.
Derrick offers substantial savings:
No, Seamless.AI works autonomously. However, some LinkedIn scraping features are more effective with Sales Navigator.
Derrick also works without dependency on Sales Navigator (which costs an additional $1,200/year). Everything is done natively in Google Sheets.
