The more you run, the less a credit costs
One credit is one request we make to LinkedIn. What a credit costs in money is the ladder below: it starts at $3 per 1,000 credits and falls to $1 per 1,000 at 1,000,000.
The rate follows the size of the order and nothing else. There is no plan to be on, no renewal date, no tier to be moved between and no overage charge - when the credits are gone, items answer quota_exhausted rather than arriving as a bigger invoice.

What that buys
Every credit figure below is the operations table applied to a workload. There is one rule behind every credit number on this site, so a quote can be checked rather than trusted.
| Workload | Credits | Rate | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10,000 profiles enriched | 10,000 targets at 1 credit 10,000 credits | $3 / 1,000 | $30 |
| 50,000 company records | 50,000 targets at 2 credits 100,000 credits | $2 / 1,000 | $200 |
| 200,000 Sales Navigator rows | 2,000 requests of 100 rows at 50 credits 100,000 credits | $2 / 1,000 | $200 |
| 125,000 profiles with their full activity | 125,000 targets at 4 credits 500,000 credits | $1.25 / 1,000 | $625 |
| 1,000,000 profiles enriched | 1,000,000 targets at 1 credit 1,000,000 credits | $1 / 1,000 | $1,000 |
What the ladder does not say
A failure costs nothing
A fetch that produced nothing is billed at zero credits, and the result entry says so. You are never invoiced for a record you did not receive.
Reading is free
Everything under /batches, /account and /usage is free at any volume. Reading what you already paid for is not work, so polling a batch to completion costs the same as not polling it.
Synchronous doubles the credits, not the rate
A /sync request costs twice the credits of the same operation on the batch path, because it pre-empts queued work for a worker. Your rate per 1,000 is whatever your volume earned - the multiplier is on the credit, never on the price of one.
Rounding up can cost less
Volume between two rungs is quoted at the rung it reaches, so an order just short of the next one can be cheaper bought as the next one. We will always quote you the cheaper of the two.
Rate limits are agreed, not bought
Requests a minute and concurrent batches are set alongside the volume rather than by it - a million credits spent evenly and a million spent in one afternoon are different asks.
Above a million
The ladder stops at a million because past that the answer depends on which operations you run and how hard. Tell us the shape of it and we will quote it.
One email, and we size it with you
The rate per 1,000 credits is published; the allowance, the rate limits and the key are not self-serve. Tell us roughly what you want to run and we size it with you in one reply.
- Which operations
Profiles, companies, posts, Sales Navigator searches - whichever ones you will actually call.
- How many records a month
A rough ceiling is enough. One credit is one request to LinkedIn, so the two convert.
- How you want results
Polled from the results cursor, delivered to a webhook, or both.
