Prospeo costs $0 on Free, $49 per user a month on Starter, $99 on Growth and $249 on Pro. Yearly billing takes 25% off: $37, $74 and $187 a month. A verified email costs 1 credit and a mobile number 10, so on plan credits a mobile costs between 12 and 25 cents.

Prospeo Pricing in 2026: What Does Each Plan Cost?
Prospeo has four plans and prices every paid one per user. Each seat brings its own credits into a shared team pool. On yearly billing you get all twelve months of credits on day one. The table is Prospeo's own grid, read on October 22, 2026.
| Plan | Monthly billing, per user | Yearly billing, per user a month | Yearly total, per user | Credits a month, per user | Yearly credits, upfront |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Not available | Not available | 100 | Not available |
| Starter | $49 | $37 | $441 | 2,000 | 24,000 |
| Growth | $99 | $74 | $888 | 5,000 | 60,000 |
| Pro | $249 | $187 | $2,241 | 15,000 | 180,000 |
Two things move the bill beyond the plan. The first is seats: three reps on Growth cost $297 a month and share 15,000 credits, and five reps on yearly Growth cost $4,440 a year. The second is add-ons. They start at 1,000 credits for $10, renew with your plan and are shared by the whole team. You can only buy them on a paid plan, and there are no one-time top-ups.
Some guides still show older prices: ColdIQ's guide of June 2026 lists a $39 Starter and a $369 Business plan. Today's grid has no Business plan and starts at $49. Upgrades apply at once and you pay the pro-rated difference. Downgrades and cancellations take effect at the end of the cycle. Run out of credits and you cannot reveal anything new until renewal, unless you add credits.
How Do Prospeo Credits Work?
One credit reveals a verified work email. Ten credits reveal a verified mobile number, and the email comes free with it. A company profile costs 1 credit. Through the API or the MCP server, a search page of up to 25 people also costs 1 credit, only when it returns results. Browsing search results in the web app is free. When Prospeo finds nothing, you pay nothing.
| Action | Credits |
|---|---|
| Reveal a verified work email | 1 |
| Reveal a verified mobile number, email included | 10 |
| Enrich a company (funding, tech stack, headcount) | 1 |
| Search page of up to 25 people or companies, API or MCP | 1 |
| Browsing search results in the web app | 0 |
| Same lead or company again within 90 days | 0 |
| Same search page again within 30 days | 0 |
| No email, mobile or match found | 0 |
Three rules catch people out. Prospeo's help center says unused credits expire at the end of every billing cycle, monthly or yearly, and add-on credits too. I checked the pricing page code: Prospeo runs a split test that shows some visitors "Unused credits rollover" under the paid plans. If you see it, get it in writing before a yearly plan. And switching between monthly and yearly billing wipes out any active add-on credits on the spot.
One rule saves real money. Re-enriching a lead within 90 days is free for the whole team, and a search page someone already paid for is free for 30 days. Two reps who pull the same list do not pay twice.
What Does a Prospeo Mobile Number Really Cost?
On plan credits, a mobile number costs 12 to 25 cents and a verified email 1.2 to 2.5 cents. The plan and the billing decide where you land. These are my calculations from Prospeo's list prices, and they assume you use every credit you pay for.
| Plan and billing | Price per credit | Per verified email | Per mobile number |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter, monthly | $0.0245 | 2.5 cents | 24.5 cents |
| Starter, yearly | $0.0184 | 1.8 cents | 18.4 cents |
| Growth, monthly | $0.0198 | 2.0 cents | 19.8 cents |
| Growth, yearly | $0.0148 | 1.5 cents | 14.8 cents |
| Pro, monthly | $0.0166 | 1.7 cents | 16.6 cents |
| Pro, yearly | $0.0125 | 1.2 cents | 12.5 cents |
| Add-on credits, entry tier of 1,000 for $10 | $0.0100 | 1.0 cents | 10 cents |
Unused credits are the hidden cost. If a Starter seat spends 1,000 of its 2,000 monthly credits, each mobile really cost 49 cents. Size the plan to a normal month, then add credits only in the busy ones.
How does that compare with the market? We ran eight data providers on the same 600 leads. Prospeo had the lowest list price, $5 per 1,000 emails at the annual spend level we used, well below the plan prices above. It also had only 1 dead email among those it marked valid. Prospeo sponsored that test, so read the method in lead generation database companies tested on 600 leads before you trust any ranking.
What Does Prospeo Cost to Run Inside Claude?
The Prospeo MCP server is listed on every plan, Free included. It plugs Claude, Claude Code or Cursor into your Prospeo account and spends credits at API rates: each search page costs 1 credit, which browsing in the web app does not. Here is what each of the five things in my post costs, and the lowest plan that runs it.
| What Claude does | Prospeo tool | Credits | Lowest plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Searches "VPs of Sales at US SaaS firms with 50 to 200 people" | search_person | 1 per page of 25 | Free (listed on the pricing grid) |
| Finds companies that look like one dream client's website | search_company with the lookalike filter | 1 per page of 25 | Starter (Free gets 5 lookalike searches) |
| Finds decision makers who just changed jobs | search_person with the job change filter | 1 per page of 25 | Growth |
| Pulls the mobiles of 25 decision makers in one call | bulk_enrich_person | 10 per mobile found, so up to 250 | Free, but 100 credits is only 10 mobiles |
| Hands me a company's funding and tech stack before a call | enrich_company (funding, tech stack, headcount) | 1 | Free |
Add it up and one morning costs at most 254 credits: three search pages, one company brief and 25 mobiles. You only pay for the mobiles Prospeo finds. In our 50-lead test it found 35, so a real morning lands closer to 179 credits. One Growth seat covers about 27 of those mornings, or 19 at the 254-credit maximum.
In the post, Claude then drops every mobile into a Google Sheet before the first call, so the BDRs open the sheet and dial. That step spends no Prospeo credits.
The job change filter is why I would start on Growth. As I wrote in the post, people who just changed jobs are picking new vendors that week. On Starter, Claude can still run every other step. On Free, the 100 credits run out after ten mobiles, so Free is a test of the connector and little more.
Setup takes a minute. In Claude.ai or Claude Desktop you add the hosted server at mcp.prospeo.io and log in. In Claude Code it is one command: claude mcp add prospeo --env PROSPEO_API_KEY=your_api_key -- npx -y @prospeo/prospeo-mcp-server. The local version needs your API key and Node.js 18 or later.
Claude can also learn a whole sales task from one screen recording. I show how in my guide to Claude for sales.
Is Prospeo Free? What the Free Plan Includes
Yes. Prospeo has a permanent free plan with 100 credits a month, enough for 100 emails or 10 mobile numbers. Free includes AI search, the Chrome extension, CSV export and the MCP server. It caps a selection at 25 rows and leaves out the public API, CSV enrichment and the Google Sheets add-on. The plan grid also leaves out integrations on Free, while Prospeo's FAQ says every plan connects to Clay, Zapier, Outreach and Lemlist.
Free is enough to test the data on your own market. Pull 25 leads you already know, check the emails and call five of the mobiles. That tells you more than any review, this one included.
Which Prospeo Plan Should You Choose?
Pick the plan by the filters you need, then buy volume with seats or add-ons. Most teams that call prospects end up on Growth, because that is where job changes, CRM sync and automatic enrichment live.
| Your situation | Plan | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Founder testing outbound alone | Free, then Starter | Free proves the data. Starter adds the API, CSV enrichment, unlimited lookalikes and the funding and tech filters for $49. |
| SDR or BDR team that calls mobiles | Growth | Job change filter and tracking, HubSpot and Salesforce sync, 5,000 credits per seat. |
| Agency or RevOps team at volume | Pro plus an add-on | All 41 filters, including website traffic and executive changes, and the highest API limits. |
My rule for agencies: when one operator runs every list through Claude, you need credits more than seats. One Pro seat brings 15,000 credits for $249 a month. Three Growth seats bring the same 15,000 for $297.
For scale: Apollo's Basic plan is also $49 a seat a month on annual billing, with 30,000 credits a seat a year. Apollo counts credits its own way, so compare the cost of a verified mobile instead of the headline price.
Prospeo sits in our GTM tools directory next to the sequencers we pair it with, with starting prices for each.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Prospeo cost per month?
Prospeo costs $0 on Free, $49 per user a month on Starter, $99 on Growth and $249 on Pro with monthly billing. Yearly billing cuts that by 25%, to $37, $74 and $187 a month, paid upfront as $441, $888 and $2,241. Each paid seat adds 2,000, 5,000 or 15,000 credits a month to a shared pool.
How many credits does a mobile number cost on Prospeo?
A verified mobile number costs 10 credits on Prospeo, and the work email comes with it for free. A verified email alone costs 1 credit. You are only charged when Prospeo returns a valid result, and re-enriching the same lead within 90 days costs nothing for your whole team.
Do Prospeo credits roll over?
No, according to Prospeo's help center and pricing FAQ: unused credits expire at the end of each billing cycle, monthly or yearly, and add-on credits follow the same rule. Yearly plans hand you all twelve months of credits upfront. Prospeo's pricing page runs a split test that shows some visitors a rollover line, so get any rollover promise in writing.
Does Prospeo work with Claude?
Yes. Prospeo has an official MCP server that works with Claude, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and other MCP clients. You connect the hosted server at mcp.prospeo.io or run it locally with your API key. The pricing page lists it on every plan. It spends API credits: 1 per search page, 1 per email, 10 per mobile.
Is Prospeo cheaper than Apollo?
In our test of eight providers on the same 600 leads, Prospeo's list price was $5 per 1,000 emails against Apollo's $14, at the annual spend level we used. Prospeo also returned 1 dead email among those it marked valid, against 24 for Apollo. Prospeo sponsored that test, and each vendor counts credits its own way.
Does Prospeo charge per user?
Yes. Every paid Prospeo plan is priced per user, and each seat adds its plan credits to a pool the whole team shares. Add-on credits renew with your plan, belong to the whole team and do not grow with seats. You can add seats mid-cycle, billed pro rata, and removing a seat lowers the next invoice.
