FUNEL

Credits, with no seat fee

FUNEL is credit-based, so cost follows what you run rather than seats. Pricing starts from about $2.25 per 500 credits, with yearly (about 15% off), monthly (about 11% off) and pay-as-you-go options. Pay-as-you-go credits never expire.

A contact from the pool is about 1 credit for a common profile and up to about 6 for a rare one, and about 3.5 on a mixed list.
A verified work email adds 5 credits and is charged only when one is found, so a fully email-verified lead is about 8 credits on a typical list.
On a mixed list, 10,000 credits is roughly 2,900 contacts, or about 1,200 email-verified leads.

How we reviewed this

Written by the FUNEL team, so treat it as a vendor comparison. We read Snov.io's public pages (linked below) on November 1, 2026 and did not run a paid test of Snov.io. Where a detail could not be confirmed, the table says so instead of guessing, and where a vendor's own pages disagree with each other we say that too. Tell us if something is out of date at admin@funel.to and we will check it.
