UpLead Pricing: What 170 Credits Cost, and the Contract Terms to Read Before the Trial Ends

UpLead is a contact database. You filter its records, and each contact you unlock costs one credit, whether you want the email, the phone number or both. Essentials is $99 a month for 170 credits and Plus is $199 for 400, each for one user. Billed yearly, they drop to $74 and $149 a month. Professional, with intent data and full API, is quoted on request and sold on yearly terms. The figures here come from UpLead's pricing page, help center and terms of service, read on 3 November 2026.

What one credit gets you

One credit unlocks one contact or one company. UpLead's credit article says the email, phone and mobile number of a contact are all covered by that single credit; there is no separate phone price. Downloading a record you already unlocked is free, and browsing company details costs nothing. Essentials includes the CRM integrations, with Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho, Outreach and others named, plus Zapier. Plus adds bulk enrichment, technographic filters and suppression list upload.

Enrichment works differently from search. When you upload a file to enrich, UpLead takes credits upfront for every row and returns them for rows it could not match. The terms also say that if a company's information changes, unlocking it again counts as another credit.

What a month of prospecting costs

Say one rep needs 500 contacts a month. On Essentials that is 170 included credits plus 330 extra at $0.60, so $99 plus $198, or $297. On Plus it is 400 included plus 100 extra at $0.50, so $199 plus $50, or $249. Above roughly 260 contacts a month, Plus is the cheaper of the two. A second rep means a second subscription, because both plans are for one user.

Credits do not roll over. The terms say unused credits do not carry into the next subscription term, so a quiet month on a monthly plan is money lost.

The terms that cost people money

The trial converts to a yearly plan. The 7-day trial gives 5 credits. UpLead's help center says that if you do nothing when it ends, the account switches to Essentials on yearly billing, and the trial agreement says you are charged as soon as the trial ends unless you cancel. To cancel the trial, the agreement says to email UpLead.

Yearly plans need 60 days' notice. Every plan renews automatically for the same term. To stop a yearly plan from renewing, the terms require you to cancel at least 60 days before the renewal date. Monthly plans can be cancelled at any time and stay active to the end of the billing cycle.

No refunds. The terms call all fees non-refundable. A downgrade gets no pro-rated refund, and an upgrade takes effect straight away at full price.

Bad emails. UpLead says it verifies emails in real time when you download them, and its download settings let you choose whether to include accept-all or invalid results. Its help center does not say whether a bounced email earns a credit back, so do not count on one.

Pausing instead of cancelling

UpLead has a hibernation plan at $2 a month. It starts after the current billing cycle and keeps your data and unused credits. You cannot search or unlock new contacts while paused, but you can download the ones you already have. Closing the account, by contrast, is permanent and wipes unused credits, so cancel the subscription first and close the account only if you are sure.

Comparing UpLead and Scrupp for B2B Prospecting

When choosing between a traditional contact database like UpLead and a LinkedIn-focused data extractor like Scrupp, the right choice depends entirely on your workflow. UpLead provides a pre-built database with built-in intent data and technographic filters, whereas Scrupp extracts real-time data directly from your custom LinkedIn and Sales Navigator searches.
