Pay for Data You Use, Not Data You Might Use
No annual contracts. No per-seat fees. No minimum commitments. Cleanlist's credit-based pricing means you pay for enrichments actually consumed — and nothing more.
TL;DR
Most data enrichment tools lock you into annual contracts with per-seat pricing. Cleanlist offers pure pay-as-you-go: buy credits, use them when you need them, add as many team members as you want, and cancel anytime. No annual commitments, no per-seat fees, no minimum usage.

Why Pay-As-You-Go Need Different Enrichment
The challenges that generic data tools do not solve.
Annual Contracts Waste Budget
Enterprise data tools require 12-month commitments. If your outbound volume drops, your campaign strategy changes, or your ICP shifts, you are still paying for data you do not use. Contract flexibility is zero.
Unpredictable Per-Seat Costs
When pricing is per user per month, your data bill changes every time you hire, fire, or restructure. Budget planning becomes guesswork. A tool that costs $500/mo today costs $1,500/mo after three hires.
Minimum Volume Requirements
Some tools require minimum monthly lookups or annual credit purchases. If you run outbound in bursts — heavy during Q1 and Q4, light in summer — minimums mean paying for dead months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there really no contract?
+
Correct. Cleanlist is month-to-month billing. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time from your account settings. There are no annual commitments, no auto-renewal traps, and no termination fees. If you cancel, you keep access through the end of your billing period.
How does credit-based pricing work?
+
Each enrichment credit processes one contact through our full waterfall pipeline — 15+ data sources, email verification, phone lookup, and firmographic enrichment. Credits are included in your monthly plan. Unused credits do not roll over to the next month, so right-size your plan to your actual volume.
Can I change my plan mid-month?
+
Yes. Upgrades take effect immediately with prorated billing. Downgrades take effect at the next billing cycle. You are never locked into a tier for more than 30 days.
What happens if I run out of credits?
+
You can purchase additional credits or upgrade your plan at any time. Your existing enriched data is never affected. You simply cannot run new enrichments until credits are available. No overage charges — you control exactly what you spend.
