Most data tools charge by seat, by API call, or by the month — regardless of whether you get anything useful. VoxScrape works differently: credits are only deducted for results that are actually returned.
How credit holds work
When you configure a run and hit submit, VoxScrape places a credit hold based on your expected result count. If you ask for 100 results at 10 credits/result, 1,000 credits are temporarily held.
When the run completes, the hold is finalised against the actual results returned. If you got 87 results, you're charged 870 credits. The remaining 130 are returned to your balance immediately. No rounding up, no minimum charge.
If a run fails entirely — a source returns 0 results, a network error occurs — the full hold is refunded.
Credit costs by source
Sources vary in cost because the underlying data complexity varies: - Leads Finder: 1 credit/result (bulk B2B contacts, simple output) - Google Maps: 10 credits/result (business data with enriched fields) - LinkedIn Profiles: 30 credits/result (full profile data, slower to process) - YC Scraper: 55 credits/result (deep company + founder data)
The pattern: the richer and harder to get the data, the higher the credit cost. You're paying for data quality, not for the infrastructure running underneath it.
AI action costs
AI actions are charged per unit processed: - Lead Scoring: 2 credits/lead - Smart Enrichment: 3 credits/row - Message Writer: 5 credits/lead - Intent Detection: 2 credits/post - Post Summarizer: 15 credits/batch of 50
Running AI on a list of 100 leads (scoring + messaging for the top 20%) costs roughly 60 credits. Compared to the hours saved, the ROI is clear.
Which plan is right for you
Scout (1,000 credits/mo at $10) is right for individual prospecting using Leads Finder.
Starter (10,000 credits/mo at $69) covers a full SDR workflow: leads, enrichment, AI scoring, and some LinkedIn work each week.
Pro (50,000 credits/mo at $149) is for teams, agencies, or anyone running multiple sources daily.
Credits never expire, and top-up packs are available on Starter and Pro if you run out mid-month.
