Pay for Data You Use, Not Data You Might Use
Starter and Pro bill month to month, per seat, with no annual contract and no usage minimum. Every seat brings credits into one shared wallet, you spend them only on records the waterfall finds, and unused credits roll over.
The Cleanlist AI waterfall looking for a work email. For Aviva Roth it tries providers in order and stops at attempt 4, the first deliverable result, which costs 1 credit. For Sofia Marchetti all 7 attempts miss, and the charge is 0 credits.

The short answer
Cleanlist AI bills per seat, month to month, and every seat adds its credits to one shared wallet (750 on Starter, 1,500 on Pro). A verified work email is 1 credit, a phone number 10, and a miss costs nothing. Unused credits roll over, you can cancel anytime, and every workspace starts with 14 days of Pro: 250 credits, 3 seats.
Pay-As-You-Go: what gets in the way.
Annual contracts and expiring credits both charge you for capacity you might not use.
- 01
Annual contracts outlast your plans
Enterprise data tools want 12 months up front. If your volume drops or your ICP shifts in month four, you keep paying for data you don't use.
- 02
Credits that vanish at month end
On a plan where credits reset every month, a quiet month's allowance is gone for good, and the budget turns into a guess.
- 03
Minimums charge you for quiet months
Some tools require a minimum number of lookups a month or an annual credit purchase. If you run outbound in bursts (heavy in Q1 and Q4, light in summer), you pay for the dead months too.
A Cleanlist AI list called Series B sales leaders enriched through the waterfall: 6 verified work emails and 4 phone numbers found for 6 leads, 46 credits in total. Rows with no phone number found cost nothing for that field.
How Cleanlist AI fits.
Pick your seats, and change them whenever your pipeline does.
- 01
Month-to-month seats
Pick your plan and seat count and change them month to month from your account. A seat you add is billed pro rata that day, and a seat you remove is credited on your next invoice.
- 02
One wallet for the team
Each seat adds its credits (750 on Starter, 1,500 on Pro) to one wallet, and every rep spends from it. When a month runs hot, a one-off top-up adds 1,000 credits for $49, and top-up credits never expire.
- 03

How the alternatives compare.
ZoomInfo and Cognism both sell annual contracts, and that's the main difference here.
| Option | Where it fits | Where it stops |
|---|---|---|
| ZoomInfo Compare | The broadest database, with intent data and 50+ integrations | 12-24 month contracts, a $15K+ yearly minimum, auto-renewal clauses and per-seat pricing |
| Cognism | Phone-verified mobile data and strong European coverage | Annual contracts and per-seat pricing, with no month-to-month option |
Is there really no contract?
Correct for Starter and Pro, which bill month to month. Enterprise terms are agreed with sales. You can upgrade, downgrade or cancel anytime from your account settings, with no termination fee. If you cancel, you keep access until the end of the billing period.
How does credit-based pricing work?
Every seat brings its monthly credits into one shared wallet, and each result draws from it: 1 per verified work email, 10 per phone number, 11 for both. A miss costs nothing, and unused credits roll over to the next month.
Can I change my plan mid-month?
Yes. Upgrades take effect immediately with prorated billing, and downgrades take effect at the next billing cycle, so you're never locked into a tier for more than a month.
What happens if I run out of credits?
Credit actions pause until you add credits with a one-off top-up (from 1,000 credits for $49) or your plan renews. Records you've already enriched stay as they are, and there are no overage charges.
