How many credits does email verification use?

Written by Andre Haykal Jr

TL;DR

  • Email-only verification (via the Email Verifier) costs 1 credit per email.

  • Business Email during a normal export costs 1 credit.

  • Triple verification is included in that 1 credit. There is no extra charge.

  • Total cost = number of emails × 1 credit, whichever method you use.


When you'd use this / Why it matters

Understanding credit costs upfront helps you plan verification at scale without unexpected credit drain — whether you're verifying an external list or exporting Triple-Verified leads directly from ListKit.


Credit costs by method

1. Email Verifier (external lists)

Used when verifying emails from outside ListKit — uploaded via CSV or pasted manually.

  • Cost: 1 credit per email verified, from your regular credit balance

2. Normal export from ListKit's database

Used when exporting leads directly from ListKit and selecting fields at checkout.

  • Business Email: 1 credit

  • Triple verification: included


Example cost breakdown

Example 1: Verifying an external list of 1,000 emails

  • 1,000 emails × 1 credit = 1,000 credits

Example 2: Exporting 500 leads with Business Email only

  • 500 leads × 1 credit = 500 credits

Your remaining balance is shown at the top of every page and on the Email Verification page before you start.


Expected outcome

You should now be able to:

  • Understand exactly what each verification method costs

  • Plan your credit usage before running a large verification job

  • Choose the right verification method based on your budget and needs


Troubleshooting / FAQs

Does verifying a Risky or Bad email still use a credit?
Yes. The credit is used for running the verification itself, regardless of the result.

Is there a cheaper way to verify large external lists?
Cost is 1 credit per email regardless of list size — there's currently no bulk discount tier.

Does Triple Verification apply to the Email Verifier tool?
No. Triple Verification is only available during export from ListKit's database at checkout. The Email Verifier uses a single verification pass.
