This article works out how many leads your credits cover and what a lead costs in euros. All figures are net, plus VAT.

What a lead costs in credits

Only what we actually find costs credits:

Detail Price
Mobile number 5 credits
Email address 1 credit
Landline number 0.5 credits
Company data free

An unsuccessful search costs nothing. If all three contact details are found, that is 6.5 credits. Not every lead has a mobile number, though. On average, a fully enriched lead therefore costs 3.7 credits. That is the average across all enrichments in inDeal.

If you only need the email address, a lead costs just 1 credit.

Cost per plan

With monthly billing:

Plan Price per month Credits Per credit Per lead, full Per lead, email only Leads, full Leads, email only
Starter €69 300 €0.23 €0.85 €0.23 approx. 80 up to 300
Scale €139 800 €0.17 €0.64 €0.17 approx. 210 up to 800
Enterprise €559 from 4,000 €0.14 €0.52 €0.14 approx. 1,080+ 4,000+

With yearly billing (price per month, the yearly amount is charged):

Plan Price per month Credits Per credit Per lead, full Per lead, email only Leads, full Leads, email only
Starter €49 300 €0.16 €0.60 €0.16 approx. 80 up to 300
Scale €99 800 €0.12 €0.46 €0.12 approx. 210 up to 800
Enterprise €399 from 4,000 €0.10 €0.37 €0.10 approx. 1,080+ 4,000+

The credits are the monthly allowance. "Per lead, full" is the unrounded price per credit times 3.7, rounded to the cent. Lead counts are rounded down to the nearest ten.

If you top up, a credit costs €0.15 to €0.19 depending on the package. The packages are listed under Credits and usage.

How to convert your credits into leads

Credits ÷ 3.7 = fully enriched leads

Example: 500 credits ÷ 3.7 = approx. 135 leads.

If you only need email addresses, each credit covers one lead: 500 credits = up to 500 email addresses.

Your leads' actual usage is under Plans & Billing ↗ in the History.

Cost per deal won

What a deal costs you in data depends on your own rates:

Cost per deal = cost per lead ÷ (meeting rate × close rate)

An example, not a promise: you pay €0.85 per lead, 5% of leads accept a meeting and 20% of meetings turn into a deal. Then one deal costs €0.85 ÷ (0.05 × 0.20) = approx. €85.

Put in your own meeting and close rates. On Home ↗, in the conversion funnel, your meeting rate is the Lead conversion card. The close rate from meeting onwards comes from Show rate, Pipeline conversion and Deal conversion together, more on that under Conversion funnel and business outcome.
