Searches, audits and limits
What the two meters cost, when each is charged, and what happens when an allowance runs out.
Two meters, both of which mean something on their own: how many searches you can run, and how many audits you can produce. Everything else the product does is included.
What is metered
Action | Costs | When it is charged |
|---|---|---|
Lead search |
| Once per search, whether it returns forty businesses or four. A search a source blocked is never charged. |
Website audit |
| Once per audit, flat, whatever the site turns out to need. Charged after the work, so a failed audit costs nothing. |
Contact enrichment |
| Never charged. |
Reviews and rank checks |
| Never charged. |
Score, report and outreach draft |
| Included in the audit that produced them. |
Audits are never automatic. A search discovers businesses, enriches them and pulls their reviews; you decide which of them is worth auditing. That is the whole reason there are two meters instead of one number.
Three buckets
Each meter has a monthly allowance from your plan, anything you bought as a top-up, and, on paid plans, overage. Usage drains them in that order: the allowance expires monthly so spending it first wastes nothing, top-ups never expire, and overage bills. Buy a top-up in March and it is still there in July.
Free plans have no overage. They stop at the allowance rather than billing past it, which is the point of them.
Charged once, even when a job retries
Audits are slow and networks are unreliable, so jobs retry. Every debit carries an idempotency key derived from the work being done, and the ledger rejects a duplicate. A flaky audit that runs three times bills once.
The ledger is the billing record. Your displayed usage is a running total kept in the same transaction as each entry, and a scheduled reconciliation re-derives it from the ledger and reports any disagreement rather than quietly overwriting it.
Running out
On a plan with no overage, work is refused before it starts, with a message and an upgrade link, the only point at which a useful error can still reach a human. Work already in flight stops at the stage that runs dry, settles as partial, and keeps everything it produced up to that point.
On a plan with overage, work continues and the extra appears on your next invoice. You are emailed at 80% and at 100% of each allowance, so the invoice is never the first you hear of it.
Workspaces
Everything a workspace produces is isolated from every other workspace: prospects, audits, reports, outreach, suppression list and usage.
