description: >-
  Lusha sells seat-based subscriptions with a single unified credit balance that
  every product draws on — platform, browser extension, AI assistant and API
  alike. API access is plan-gated rather than metered separately: self-service
  plans (Pro / Premium) reach only the contact and company enrichment endpoints,
  while the Prospecting and Filters APIs — and API key issuance itself — are
  Scale-plan (or active Scale trial) features; Signals and Lookalike APIs carry
  further per-account entitlements arranged with an account manager. Calling an
  endpoint outside your plan returns 403. Credit consumption per call IS
  published in detail (below); per-seat list prices are on the marketing pricing
  page, which serves a Cloudflare bot challenge to automated clients.
notes: >-
  Upgraded from the 2026-05-08 bulk-sweep placeholder. The credit-cost tables and
  the plan-gating rules are read verbatim from Lusha's own docs; the per-seat
  dollar prices were NOT captured because https://www.lusha.com/pricing/ returned
  HTTP 403 (Cloudflare "Just a moment...") on probe. plan_count reflects the
  named tiers the docs reference, not a scrape of the pricing page.

  - A data point already revealed for a contact is not charged again on later requests.
  - Failed lookups are not charged (same rule applies to MCP tool calls).
  - Webhook signal deliveries charge credits once per signal; delivery retries are free.
  - Waterfall-resolved fields are billed at the third-party provider's own rate, which
    can exceed a standard Lusha reveal.
