📐 Credit Calculation Basics

TL;DR in most cases, 1 credit = 1 request.

Think in terms of data volume, not just inputs or number of API calls.

✅ Examples

  • Search People:

    If one search returns 25 profiles → you’re billed 1 credit for the request + 0.2 credit per result, so 6 credits in total.

  • Enrich People:

    Each profile URL = 1 enriched result = 1 credit.
