The cheapest Prospeo plan is Free at $0 with 100 credits a month. The cheapest paid plan is Starter at $49 per user a month, or $37 billed yearly. Most teams buy Growth at $99 per user, which Prospeo marks "Most Popular" (Prospeo pricing, September 2026).
One credit buys one verified email. A million emails a month is 1,000,000 credits. No plan or add-on reaches 1M credits in a month. The cheapest public path on monthly billing is $14,456 a month: 44 Pro seats at $249 plus the 350,000-credit add-on at $3,500, for 1,010,000 credits. Billed yearly, $11,223 paid once buys 1,040,000 credits upfront, which is a year's pool and not 1M a month.
Prospeo is an email and mobile finder sold per user. Seats set your base credits and your API speed. Add-ons stop at 350,000 credits a month, so volume means more seats.
Plans
Prospeo sells Free, Starter, Growth and Pro. Every paid plan is priced per user and gives each user a credit allowance. Yearly billing takes 25% off and delivers the year's credits upfront.

What a credit buys
A credit is charged when a lookup returns a result. A verified email costs 1 credit. A mobile number costs 10 credits and includes the email (Prospeo help center, September 2026).

| Enrich person: verified email | 1 credit per email found | Enrich docs |
| Enrich person: mobile | 10 credits per mobile found, email included | Enrich docs |

Hidden costs
The sticker price is per user. The real bill depends on credits, billing term and what each plan gates.
- Mobiles cost 10 times an email. 10,000 mobiles is 100,000 credits, not 10,000.
- Credits do not roll over. Plan and add-on credits expire at the end of each billing cycle, monthly or yearly (Prospeo help center, September 2026). One A/B variant of the pricing page shows "Unused credits rollover", but the help center is the policy.
- Add-ons renew. They bill at once and renew with your cycle. Buy one just before renewal and you waste it.
- Auto-upgrade moves you up a tier. The toggle jumps the add-on when credits fall under 10%. Prospeo warns that costs can rise sharply.
- Add-ons have a ceiling. The largest monthly tier is 350,000 credits. Above it you talk to sales (Prospeo pricing, September 2026). Prospeo publishes nothing above 350,000 credits a month ($3,500, $0.01 a credit) or 500,000 a year ($4,500, $0.009). Higher volume needs support to enable extended add-on pricing (Prospeo help center, September 2026).
- Monthly billing costs 33% more. Starter is $49 against $37 billed yearly for the same credits.
- Free plan API access is disputed. The pricing table shows no Public API and no access on Free. The help center lists limited API access at 1 request a second, 20 a minute and 50 a day (Prospeo help center, September 2026). The API docs intro says free API access for all users (Prospeo API docs, September 2026). Starter caps enrich calls at 2,000 a day, and faster limits need Pro.
- Search is metered. One search stops at 25,000 results, which is 1,000 pages of 25 (Prospeo search docs, September 2026).
- Features sit behind tiers. CRM sync and job change tracking need Growth. The highest API limits need Pro.
Worked examples
All examples assume one email per record, every record found and 1 credit each. They use list-price arithmetic. Prospeo does not quote prices above the largest add-on, so treat these as floors.
10k records a month
- Credits needed: 10,000.
- Growth, billed yearly: 10,000 / 5,000 = 2 seats x $74 = $148 a month.
- Growth, billed monthly: 2 x $99 = $198 a month.
- Mobiles instead: 10,000 x 10 = 100,000 credits. Pro yearly: 100,000 / 15,000 = 7 seats x $187 = $1,309 a month.
- LeadOcean Pro: $499 flat. For emails at this volume, Prospeo is cheaper.
1M records a month
- Credits needed: 1,000,000.
- No add-on reaches 1M in a month. $0.01 is the 350,000-a-month add-on rate and $0.009 is the 500,000-a-year rate.
- Pro, monthly billing, seats only: 67 x $249 = $16,683 a month.
- Pro, monthly billing, plus the 350,000 add-on: (1,000,000 - 350,000) / 15,000 = 44 seats x $249 = $10,956, plus $3,500 = $14,456 a month for 1,010,000 credits. This is the cheapest public monthly path.
- Pro, yearly, seats only: 67 seats x $187 = $12,529 a month equivalent ($150,348 billed yearly), for a steady 1M every month.
- Pro, yearly, plus the 500,000-credit yearly add-on: 3 seats x $2,241 = $6,723, plus $4,500 = $11,223 billed once for 1,040,000 credits delivered upfront. That is a pool for the year, not 1M a month.
- Yearly seats cannot be mixed with a monthly add-on.
- Mobiles instead: 10,000,000 credits / 15,000 = 667 seats x $187 = $124,729 a month.
- Speed is not the limit. 1M records at 50 per bulk call is 20,000 requests, about 11 minutes at Pro's 1,800 a minute.
- LeadOcean Pro: $499 flat.
25M records a month
- Credits needed: 25,000,000.
- Pro, yearly: 25,000,000 / 15,000 = 1,667 seats x $187 = $311,729 a month.
- The 350,000 add-on covers 1.4% of that. It barely moves the total.
- Mobiles instead: 250,000,000 credits, 16,667 seats and $3,116,729 a month.
- Bulk calls: 500,000 at 50 records each. That equals Pro's whole daily cap of 500,000 requests, assuming a bulk call counts as one request.
- LeadOcean Pro: $499 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.
Break-even against a $499 flat fee is about 40,000 emails a month. That is $499 / $0.01245, the Pro yearly credit. Below that, Prospeo is cheaper. Above it, the gap widens with every record.
Is it worth it
Prospeo is worth it if reps prospect in its Chrome extension and you stay under about 40,000 credits a month. The price buys an app as well as rows.
- Solo founder or freelancer: Free covers 100 credits a month for testing. Starter at $37 billed yearly is enough for 2,000 emails.
- Sales team of 5 to 20: Growth is the plan most teams buy. You get HubSpot and Salesforce sync and job change tracking.
- Agency: Seats scale with headcount. Pro gives the highest API limits and 15,000 credits per user.
- RevOps or data engineer feeding a pipeline: You pay for seats nobody logs into. Starter caps enrich calls at 2,000 a day. A flat fee is easier to forecast.
- Agent builder: MCP is on every plan, but a search page costs a credit and a mobile costs 10.
- 1M records a month or more: The cheapest public monthly path is $14,456. Ask sales, or price a flat-fee API.
