One Emailchaser lead credit adds one person with a work email, and checking the address costs $0.0017 to $0.0034 more, counted here at the most. UpLead is priced from its pricing page on 23 October 2026, monthly billing, at 1 credit per new email, on the cheaper of Essentials and Plus with extra credits at the plan's own rate. UpLead quotes a custom price above 5,000 credits a month, so the slider stops there.

Here is what Emailchaser's Lead Finder gives you on every plan.
Every plan includes lead credits each month: 1,500 on Starter, 5,000 on Pro and 10,000 on Max. Searching costs nothing, so you spend credits only on the people you keep. See how it works on the Lead Finder page.
| Way to find leads | What you get | What it costs |
|---|---|---|
| Filter by job title, seniority, location, headcount, revenue and industry, see how many people match, then add them straight to a campaign | Search is free1 credit per person added | |
| Click “Export with Emailchaser” on any Sales Navigator search with our free Chrome extension, and up to 2,500 leads per LinkedIn account a day come back with their work emails as a spreadsheet | No lead creditseach address billed as a check | |
| Paste or upload up to 10,000 profile links in one run and get the emails back as a spreadsheet | 5 credits a profileno match, no charge |
Two separate services can check every address before it reaches a campaign, at $0.0017 a check and one or two checks an address, and people whose address fails are skipped at no credit cost. Extra credits are $33 per 1,000, or $20 per 1,000 when you buy 5,000 or more, and bought credits never expire.
UpLead's price pays for a B2B contact database with email and mobile credits, one user to an account.
- UpLead charges 1 credit for each contact you unlock, and a credit comes with the mobile direct dial as well as the email. On Emailchaser, one credit adds one person with a work email, and people whose address fails the check cost no credit.
- The credits you do not use are lost: UpLead's terms say they do not roll over, and that if a company's information changes it counts as an additional credit.
- Past the plan's allowance, UpLead sells extra credits at $0.60 each on Essentials and $0.50 on Plus, which is $500 for each 1,000 on Plus. Emailchaser tops up at $33 per 1,000 credits, or $20 per 1,000 when you buy 5,000 or more at once.
- Paying yearly takes Essentials to $74 a month, $888 a year for 2,040 credits. That is still above Emailchaser's $604.80 a year for 1,000 new leads a month.
- Essentials and Plus are single-user accounts, and the team account is Professional, by quote. Emailchaser gives every plan unlimited team seats and unlimited email accounts, with built-in warm-up for each mailbox.
- UpLead also sells mobile numbers. Emailchaser sells no phone numbers; it finds work emails and sends the campaign from the same account, on every plan.
- Emailchaser is built for cold email: 1,500 to 10,000 lead credits a month on every plan, unlimited team seats, every address checked, and the sending in the same account.
