How ReachStream Export Credits Work - The 1, 1, and 10 Rule

Summarize this article with AI:

Not All Exports Cost the Same, and That Trips People Up

Every ReachStream export credits transaction follows one of three simple rules: 1 credit for a contact with a verified email, 10 credits for a phone number, and 1 credit for a company record. Searching and viewing profiles never touches your ReachStream export credits balance, only the moment you actually download or sync data does.

Here’s exactly how ReachStream export credits are counted, what each plan costs, and how to make every credit count.

ReachStream Export Credits: The 1, 1, and 10 Rule

Three simple numbers cover every way you’ll spend ReachStream export credits. Here’s what each one means in practice.

1 Credit: A Contact With a Verified Email

The most common way to use ReachStream export credits is exporting a contact that has a verified email address. Every valid, verified email you download or sync costs exactly 1 credit, regardless of which plan you are on.

Example: Export 100 contacts with verified emails and you will use 100 ReachStream export credits, no more.

10 Credits: A Phone Number

Phone numbers cost more because they take more work to source and verify. Exporting a direct dial or mobile number uses 10 ReachStream export credits per number, whether or not you export the matching contact's email at the same time.

Example: A contact exported with both an email and a phone number uses 1 + 10 = 11 ReachStream export credits total.

1 Credit: A Company Record

Exporting company level data, firmographic details like industry, headcount, revenue, and location, costs 1 credit per company, separate from any contacts you export from that company. Building a targeted sales pipeline usually means exporting companies and contacts together.

Example: Export 50 companies and you will use 50 ReachStream export credits, regardless of how many contacts you pull from them.

What Doesn't Use ReachStream Export Credits

Searching, filtering, and viewing contact or company profiles never touches your ReachStream export credits balance, no matter how many records you look at. Credits are only used the moment you export or sync data out of the platform. ReachStream verifies emails in real time during export, so credits are only spent on data that is actually usable.

Example: Search, filter, and review as many profiles as you like at 0 ReachStream export credits.

Export Credits vs. Email Credits: Two Separate Pools

ReachStream export credits and email credits are tracked separately and never overlap. Export credits are used when you download contact lists or company data to a CSV file or sync them to your CRM. Email credits, also called email views, are used only when you view a verified email address inside the platform or the Chrome extension.

Example: Viewing an email address uses an email credit; exporting that same contact afterward uses a separate ReachStream export credit.

How Many ReachStream Export Credits Does Your Plan Include?

Every plan comes with a set number of ReachStream export credits that reset at the start of each billing cycle. Unused credits never roll over, so it’s worth matching your plan to how much you actually export.

Here’s what each plan includes:

FREE

100

credits / month

1,200 / year

STARTER

5,000

credits / month

60,000 / year

Make Your ReachStream Export Credits Go Further

The fastest way to waste ReachStream export credits is exporting contacts before narrowing your list. Filter by job title, industry, location, and other criteria first, build a saved list, then export only the contacts and companies you actually plan to use. Whether you download a CSV file or sync directly to your CRM, ReachStream export credits are counted the same way.

How to Export Contacts

Open your dashboard and set filters

Use the filters on the left to describe who you're looking for, such as job title, industry, and country.

Apply your filters

Add contacts to a list

Select the contacts you want and click "Add to List." Choose an existing list or create a new one.

Open your saved list

Go to "Saved Lists" on your dashboard and select the contacts you want to export.

Click "Verify & Download"

ReachStream checks the selected contacts in real time for accuracy. When verification completes, your file is ready.

How to Export Companies

Choose Company as the data type

This shows companies instead of individual contacts.

Apply your company filters

Filter by industry, technology, employee size, revenue size, and location.

Select the companies you want

Use the checkbox on each row, then click "Add to list" to save them or export directly.

Export your list

Your company data downloads using the same credit rules shown above.

Get More Out of Every Export

ReachStream export credits work best when you export only what you plan to use. Filter first, verify in real time, and keep your billing cycle’s credits working for you instead of disappearing on contacts you’ll never reach out to.
