SalesIntel has no public price and no cheapest plan you can click. The pricing page shows one platform and a Request Pricing button (SalesIntel pricing, October 2026). Vendr reports a median deal of $17,599 a year, which is about $1,467 a month (Vendr, updated February 2026).
Most teams buy that one core plan. At 1M records a month there is no public 1M price. The only hard number is the terms cap. A user cannot reveal more than 3,000 companies or contacts a month, so 1M records needs at least 334 users (SalesIntel terms, October 2026).
Plans
The pricing page lists one plan. Export and enrichment credits are unlimited per user, and the page names no seat limit or dollar amount. The table separates what SalesIntel publishes from what Vendr reports.
| Plan | Price | Credits | Seats | API access | Limits |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core plan (on the pricing page) | Quote only. No dollar figure shown | Unlimited export and enrichment credits per user a month. Research on Demand: 10 credits per user a month | Max users: Unlimited | Not listed on the pricing page. Keys come from your success team | 3,000 reveals per user a month. One 12-hour session in any 24 hours |
| Typical deal (Vendr, reported) | Median $17,599 a year ($1,467 a month). Range $8,670 to $41,380 a year ($723 to $3,448 a month) | As quoted | As quoted | As quoted | 12-month standard term. Renewal increases of 5 to 10 percent |

The pricing page also lists add-ons with no price: advanced intent, AdsIntel, VisitorIntel, FormsIntel, Retargeting Ads, VisitorIntel Pro and ICPIntel. The core plan includes a dedicated customer success manager and a quarterly business review.
What a credit buys
A credit is charged per record returned, not per request. If one company search returns 20 companies, 20 company credits are consumed (SalesIntel API docs, October 2026). The web app and the API run on different rules.
| Action | Credit cost | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Export or enrich in the web app | Unlimited per user, inside the 3,000 reveal cap | Pricing page, terms |
| People search or append, GET /service/people | One credit per contact on the pages you open. A page holds up to 50 | People API |
| People preview, GET /service/people/preview | No credits. Returns masked contact data | People API |
| Company search or append, GET /service/company | One credit per company on the pages you open | Company API |
| Technology append | One credit per company returned, whether or not it uses the technology | Technographic API |
| News, GET /service/news | One credit per article returned | News API |
| Technology taxonomy lookups | No charge | Technographic API |
| A paginated page you never open | No charge | API docs |
| Mobile number or company research, versus a basic contact | Not stated. Ask for the rate on your order form | Not in the API docs |
| Human-verified versus machine-verified record | Your contract may set a different rate for each tier | Data quality tiers |
| Out of credits | HTTP 402 and no data | API docs |

Hidden costs
The platform price is the start of the bill. These are the items that move it.
- No list price. Every figure above the quote is a third-party report. Ask for the order form before you compare (SalesIntel pricing, October 2026).
- A 12-month term and renewal increases. Vendr reports a 12-month standard term, multi-year deals for better pricing, and renewal increases of 5 to 10 percent (Vendr, February 2026).
- "Unlimited" stops at 3,000 a user. The terms cap reveals per user a month and allow one 12-hour session in any 24 hours. Volume means more seats (SalesIntel terms, October 2026).
- The API has its own credit meter. API credits are per record returned, and the rate sits in your contract. Opening page one of ten at 50 records a page charges you for 50 records (People API, October 2026).
- Overages. Vendr reports contact overages of $0.50 to $2.00 per contact (Vendr, February 2026).
- Add-ons. Intent, AdsIntel and VisitorIntel are separate, and the pricing page gives no price for any of them (SalesIntel pricing, October 2026).
- Technology filters need an add-on. The
tech_categoryfilter requires add-on permissions (Company API, October 2026). - Results stop at 10,000 deep. You cannot paginate past 10,000 records in one result set, so a large pull is many filtered queries.
- A rate limit with a cooldown. The limit is 1,800 requests a minute per user. Heavy overage can bring an unpredictable cooldown (Rate limits, October 2026).
- Agent use is restricted. The terms bar extracting data by crawlers, bots, scripts or intelligent agents (section 1.5(c)). Ask whether your API licence covers an agent (SalesIntel terms, October 2026).
Worked examples
SalesIntel publishes no price per credit or per record. These examples use the 3,000 reveal cap from the terms and the Vendr figures, and they show the arithmetic. They are illustrations, not quotes. None multiplies a rate out to 1M.
10k records a month
- Users at the cap: 10,000 / 3,000 = 3.33, so 4 users.
- Vendr's median deal: $17,599 a year, or $1,467 a month. The seats and volume inside the median deal are not public.
- LeadOcean Pro: $499 a month flat.
1M records a month
- No public 1M price.
- Users at the cap: 1,000,000 / 3,000 = 333.3, so 334 users. That is a floor on seats, not a quote.
- Through the API: 1,000,000 / 50 = 20,000 pages and at least 1,000,000 / 10,000 = 100 filtered result sets. At 1,800 requests a minute, the calls take about 11 minutes. The credit rate is in your contract.
- LeadOcean Pro: $499 a month flat. 1M rows through
POST /v1/exportsis 20 requests of 50,000 over two days, because exports stop at 500,000 rows a day.
25M records a month
- No public price at 25M either.
- Users at the cap: 25,000,000 / 3,000 = 8,333.3, so 8,334 users.
- Through the API: 25,000,000 / 50 = 500,000 pages. At 1,800 requests a minute that is about 4.6 hours of calls, if the contract allows it. SalesIntel's docs steer pulls of thousands of contacts to other routes (API docs, October 2026).
- LeadOcean Pro: $499 a month list. At this size you are past the fair-use line and the export ceilings (500,000 rows a day, 10,000,000 rows per period), so email support before you plan it.
Is it worth it
SalesIntel is worth it if your reps work in its web app and need human-checked contacts. The price buys a platform, a success manager and add-ons, not a cheap record.
- A sales team of five to ten reps: Yes, if you want one login, Salesforce or HubSpot sync and human-verified mobiles. Budget near Vendr's median and ask for the order form first.
- A founder or one rep: Probably not. There is no public entry price, and a quote with a 12-month term is a lot of commitment for one seat.
- RevOps or a data engineer feeding a pipeline: Think twice. API credits are per record, keys come from a success team, and one result set stops at 10,000 records.
- An AI agent builder: No. The developer docs list no MCP server, and the terms restrict automated access (SalesIntel developer docs, October 2026).
- A buyer who needs volume at a fixed bill: Compare flat-fee tools. A seat cap of 3,000 reveals makes 1M records a seat-count problem.
