The cheapest way in is $19 a month for 1,000 credits. There is no free plan, only 50 free credits on signup. The pricing page marks no plan as most popular. Advanced, at $89 a month for 10,000 credits, is the first card under one cent a credit (Icypeas pricing, September 2026).
One credit buys one found email. A million found emails costs $3,992 a month at list price, or $3,326.67 a month billed yearly, plus VAT. That is the published 1,000,000-credit tier at $0.003992 a credit.
Icypeas charges for results, not lookups. A search that finds nothing costs nothing, and credits roll over with no expiry. The bill still grows in a straight line with every email you find.
Plans
Icypeas sells four fixed plans and a Hypergrowth credit selector for volume. Every plan includes API access, MCP, catch-all verification and no-code integrations (Make, Zapier, n8n). The pricing page lists no seat limit, so seats are not a billing line (Icypeas pricing, September 2026).

Source: Icypeas pricing, September 2026. Prices are USD list prices plus VAT, and the page has a EUR toggle. The selector also lists 20,000 credits at $178, 30,000 at $267 and 50,000 at $445. The yearly selector runs up to 120M credits for $349,300 a year.
The yearly badge says Save 20%, but the yearly prices are two months free, which is 16.7% off. Hypergrowth 100k is $5,988 over twelve months billed monthly and $4,990 billed yearly.
What a credit buys
Most actions cost a fraction of a credit or one credit. Email search is billed only when it finds an email.
| Action | Credit cost |
|---|---|
| Email Finder | 1 credit per found email |
| Email Verifier | 0.1 credit per verification |
| Domain Scan | 1 credit if emails are found for the domain |

| Company Scraper | 0.5 credit per company |

Hidden costs
The per-credit price is low. The extras are in the details.
- VAT is added. Every figure on the page is shown plus VAT.
- Small plans cost nearly four times more per credit. Basic is $0.019 a credit and Hypergrowth 100k is $0.00499.
- The volume tiers are easy to miss. The 200,000 to 10,000,000 credit tiers sit in the Hypergrowth credit selector, not on the plan cards.
- Nothing is listed above 10M credits a month. The top monthly tier is $34,930. Larger volume means a custom plan.
- Phone numbers are not for sale yet. Phone Finder is listed as coming soon.
- Name and domain are required. Email search needs a first name, a last name and a domain. Building the list with Find People costs 0.02 credit a result on top.
- Rate limits cap speed. Email search runs at 10 calls a second, Find People at 30, and bulk search at 1 call a second with up to 5,000 rows per call (Icypeas rate limits, September 2026).
- Reverse lookup is expensive. A found profile costs 10 credits, ten times an email.
- Verification adds up. Checking 1M addresses is 100,000 credits.
Worked examples
All three examples assume every email is found at 1 credit, billed at list price. A lower find rate means fewer credits used. The 1M figure is a published tier. 25M has no public price.
10k emails a month
- Credits needed: 10,000.
- Advanced: $89 a month, or $74.17 a month billed yearly ($890 for 120,000 credits).
- Verifying 10,000 existing addresses: 10,000 x 0.1 = 1,000 credits.
- LeadOcean Pro: $499 a month flat. At this volume Icypeas is cheaper.
1M emails a month
- Credits needed: 1,000,000.
- Hypergrowth 1M: $3,992 a month, which is 1,000,000 x $0.003992.
- Billed yearly: $39,920 for 12M credits, or $3,326.67 a month.
- Ten Hypergrowth 100k plans would be 10 x $499 = $4,990, so the 1M tier is cheaper.
- Verifying 1M addresses: 1,000,000 x 0.1 = 100,000 credits, the size of the $499 Hypergrowth 100k plan.
- LeadOcean Pro: $499 a month flat.
25M emails a month
- Credits needed: 25,000,000.
- No public price at 25M. The top monthly tier is 10M credits for $34,930, so 25M a month needs a custom plan.
- LeadOcean Pro: $499 a month flat. A very large month is paced down to one request a minute past the fair-usage line rather than cut off. One email to support gets more headroom.
At 100,000 found emails a month the two meet at $499. Above that LeadOcean Pro is cheaper, and below it Icypeas is.
Is it worth it
Icypeas is worth it when you already hold names and domains and want cheap, verified emails. You pay per email found and credits never expire.
- Solo founder or one rep: Basic or Premium at $19 to $39 a month covers a small list. Use the 50 free credits first.
- SDR team: Advanced at $89 a month for 10,000 credits is the sensible step. No seat limit is listed, so a team shares one pool.
- RevOps or data engineer: The API and a 21-tool hosted MCP server are on every plan (Icypeas MCP guide, September 2026). You still pay per email found.
- Agency verifying client lists: Verification at 0.1 credit is among the cheapest line items on the page.
- High volume, 1M or more: The 1M tier is $3,992 a month. Past 100,000 emails a month a flat fee is easier to forecast.
