Question 1

What is a credit?

Accepted Answer

|| A credit is a search inside the tool. Every time you do a search, a credit is deducted from your account.

Yes, we charge 1 credit per search, even though when the email is not found. This is because we apply more than 14 verification processes before offering any result, other competitor tools simply give you a random email permutation without any type of verification.

| We don't charge for repeated leads you searched within the actual month.

Quick explanation on the credit usage of each tool:

Search:

If a name is provided you will spend 1 credit for each search (we automatically verify the searched email).

However if you only provide a domain or company name we will display a batch of maximum 10 emails for 1 credit. If you want to display more it would cost 1 credit for each batch. The emails on will NOT come verified, so you will spend 1 credit for each email verification.

Email verifier:

You will spend 1 credit for each verification.

Social Url Search:

We will try to find the lead profile for free. If we found it, you can generate the email for 1 credit (the email already comes verified).

Prospector:

You can generate the list for FREE. Then you can select the leads you want and generate the emails for 1 credit each (we automatically verify the searched email).

Email Sender:

FREE tool :)

*The number of connected email accounts sending simultaneously are limited according to each plan. You can check you plan characteristics [here](/en/ar

Q: What do the result colours mean?

Each time you do a search, we give you a confidence ratio that helps you use reliable data. The color gives you the confidence of the search: ** ${color}<a href="Correct:">#70d098</a>** The email has been correctly verified and it is safe to send with an accuracy of 99%. These are the only emails we recommend to use on your campaigns. ** ${color}[#c391f6](Web email:)** The web email has been found on the Internet. ** ${color}[#f9bf73](Catch all:)** This status results due to an email server restriction that does not allow to fully verify the validity of the email. The domain exists but the specific email address can not be confirmed. In order to protect your email reputation, We do not recommend to send emails with this catch all tag. ** ${color}<a href="Incorrect:">#f97373</a>** This result indicates the email is not correct. ** ${color}[#949494](Invalid email:)** Sometimes, when you get this code, there is an error with the email syntax, normally a typo.

For this example, we'll be using Google Sheets.
