Hidden billing gotchas
- Contact storage is fixed by plan and doesn't reset monthly; it frees up only when you delete leads. Email sends reset monthly and stop at the plan's cap.
- There are no lead packs or overage: more contacts means upgrading. The Unlimited plans store unlimited contacts but still cap monthly sends.
- White-label client workspaces cost $29/mo each (Pro and up), and lead finding on Base and Pro is a $59/mo add-on.
