📢 Important Update: Unified Credit System

We have simplified our system. There is now only one type of credit, simply called "Credit".


For existing users:
We have automatically converted your remaining balance to the new system based on the value of the old credits:
  • 1 Email Credit -> 1 Credit
  • 1 EmailAI Credit -> 0.5 Credit
  • 1 Profile Credit -> 0.5 Credit
    How Credits Work

    Simply speaking:

    • 1 Credit is consumed every time FinalScout helps you find a valid email address*.
    • 0.5 Credit is consumed every time FinalScout EmailAI generates an email draft.
    • 0.5 Credit is consumed every time you scrape a basic LinkedIn profile (without finding an email address).
    > Note: If your plan allows "Unlimited single email finding from LinkedIn & Sales Navigator," no credits will be deducted from your account when you find emails from LinkedIn or Sales Navigator one by one.
