Getting Familiar with Credits
If you’re new to Enrich Layer, you might be wondering how access and billing work.
Instead of traditional pricing tiers, Enrich Layer uses credits—a flexible, usage-based system that allows you to only pay for the data you actually request and receive.
Each API call costs a set number of credits depending on:
Which endpoint you use
What data you ask for
Whether optional features (like data freshness) are enabled
This guide breaks it all down, so you can feel confident before you make your first request.
✅ Key Things to Know
Every successful result consumes credits. You’re only charged when an API call returns valid data.
Different endpoints use different amounts.
A basic company profile request might cost 1 credit
Adding Data Freshness can increase that to 2 credits
Optional fields (like funding_data, acquisitions, or extra) may also increase credit use depending on how they’re configured.
Trial accounts include a set amount of credits so you can explore the platform and test freely. See what’s included in the trial
🧮 How to Estimate Your Credit Use
If you’re planning your integration or exploring how much a certain task might cost, here’s how to think about it:
You can reduce credit usage by:
Disabling data freshness (use_cache:if-present)
Excluding enrichments you don’t need
Limiting results (e.g., using page_size for Person Search)
🔽 Example of a lower-credit request:
{
"url": "<company-profile-url>",
"use_cache": if-present,
"funding_data": "exclude"
}
📊 Where to Track Your Usage
To check how many credits you’ve used—or how many you have left:
Go to your Dashboard
Open the Billing or Usage tab
There, you can see:
Your remaining credit balance
A breakdown by API or endpoint
Historical usage over time
