Short answer: exporting 1,000 LinkedIn leads with Scrupp costs 1,000 credits. Work emails add 1 credit for each email found, and emails are found for 36.3% of rows, so a typical list of 1,000 leads with emails uses about 1,363 credits. That fits the Growth plan: $39 a month for 2,000 credits. Phone numbers add 2 credits each, only for numbers found. The free plan gives 100 credits a month to test on a real search.

What 1,000 leads cost in credits

Scrupp charges per result, not per seat. Prices below are from the pricing page.

What you exportCredits
1,000 leads from a LinkedIn or Sales Navigator search, no contact lookup1,000
+ work emails, found for about 36.3% of rows+1 per email found, about +363
+ phone numbers+2 per number found, nothing for the rest
Contacts already in another of your active listsnot billed again

A lead with both an email and a phone costs 4 credits. A lead with neither costs 1. The full list of what is never charged is on fair billing.

Which plan covers it

PlanCredits a monthPrice a monthPrice per credit
Free100$0—
Starter1,000$29$0.029
Growth2,000$39$0.0195
Pro5,000$59$0.0118
Enterprise10,000$99$0.0099

For one list of 1,000 leads with emails (about 1,363 credits), Growth is the smallest plan that fits. Starter covers 1,000 leads without contact lookup. If you export several lists a month, Pro brings the same list down to about $16 in credits. Yearly billing is cheaper: Starter works out to $22 a month and Pro to $44.

How other tools charge for the same list

Each tool counts differently, so the honest comparison is the unit you pay for. Prices were taken from each vendor's pricing page on 10 October 2026.

ToolWhat you pay forPlan for about 1,000 leadsSource
Scrupp1 credit per lead, +1 per email found, +2 per phone foundGrowth, $39 a month for 2,000 creditsscrupp.com/price
Evaboot1 credit per exported lead, email included; a lead with no email found still costs 1 credit. No phone numbers.$49 a month for 1,000 creditsevaboot.com/pricing
WizaPer valid email and per phone number$49 a month per user includes 100 valid emails and 100 phone numbers; extra emails $0.15 each, extra phones $0.35 eachwiza.co/pricing
Lusha1 credit per email, 5 credits per phone numberPaid plan prices are not listed as text on the pricing page; the free plan has 40 credits a monthlusha.com/pricing

Two things matter more than the sticker price. First, whether you pay for rows where nothing is found: Evaboot charges for every exported lead, while Scrupp and Wiza charge for emails only when one is found. Second, whether phones cost the same as emails: they rarely do, and on LinkedIn lists phones are the expensive part.

What changes your real cost

  • Find rate. No tool finds an email for every LinkedIn profile. With Scrupp, emails are found for 36.3% of rows and 10.0% of rows are confirmed by an accepted delivery. Budget for the share you get, not for the list size.
  • Phones. They cost more everywhere. Look up phones only for the people you will actually call.
  • Search size. Sales Navigator stops at 2,500 results per search. Scrupp exports more than that from the same search, so a large list does not have to be split by hand.
  • Duplicates. If the same people appear in several searches, check whether you pay for them twice. Scrupp does not bill a contact that is already in another of your active lists.

What about building your own scraper?

A home-made scraper has no per-lead price, but it costs developer time, proxies and upkeep every time LinkedIn changes its pages, and it still does not find emails or phones on its own. It also runs against LinkedIn's terms; see is LinkedIn scraping legal. For most teams a per-result tool is cheaper as soon as the list needs contact details.

Test it on your own search

The free plan gives 100 credits every month, no card: enough to export 100 leads, or fewer with emails and phones, and see your own find rate before you pay. To export a whole search, see Sales Navigator to CSV.
