How ContactOut bills you
The pricing model is credits (search, email, phone) on a quoted api plan. Contact-data API with a public reference (endpoints, auth, per-endpoint rate limits, webhooks) but API access is sales-gated to a custom Team/API plan, and an unusually high outage count and Trustpilot privacy complaints weigh on it. Best suited to: linkedin-based email and phone lookup for recruiters and sales.
