Claude Prompt: Estimate List Cost on Credits vs Flat Fee

Paste one prompt into Claude with LeadOcean connected. It sizes the list for free, then prices it at your per-record rate and at a flat fee. Connect https://api.leadocean.io/mcp first. Setup is on the MCP page. Any MCP client works.

The prompt

Estimate what a list of US VPs of Sales at 51-500 person companies costs.
1. Call leadocean_list_enum_values for job_function and employee_range
   to get the exact strings.
2. Call leadocean_count_leads with those filters, facets false.
3. Multiply the count by my rate: $0.05 per record. Show the total.
4. Compare it with a flat $499 a month. Say which is cheaper.
5. Do not call any tool that spends records.

Swap the rate for your vendor's real price per record. The flat-fee background is in flat fee vs credit pricing.

What it resolves to

How many match

28,340 mailable people matched on 2 October 2026. Filters: jobLevel VP, jobFunction Sales & Business Development, country US, employeeRange 51-200 or 201-500.

Mailable means verified, catch_all_valid or catch_all, the count_leads default. The count is free.

What you get back

Claude returns arithmetic, not rows. These are placeholder values.

At that rate the flat fee wins once you pull about 9,980 records a month. Below that, per-record is cheaper.

Variations

• "Price only the first 2,000 people at my rate" to cost a pilot send.
• "Repeat for employeeRange 1001-5000 and show both totals" to compare two segments.
• "Assume I rebuild this list every month for six months" to compare spend over a half year.

Records it spends

The count and enum lookups are free, so the estimate costs nothing. Pulling the people with leadocean_search_leads costs 1 record per person returned. Free gives you 1,000 records one-off with no card. Pro is $499 a month. See pricing.
