How credits work at Blinq

Blinq Business seat pricing covers the core product. Credits are only used for two things: enriching leads and bulk enrichment.

Blinq Business is priced per seat. Credits sit alongside your seats and are used when Blinq enriches a lead for your team or an admin enriches a list of contacts. Everything else is included in your seat.


What your seat includes

Every Blinq Business seat gives a team member the full product, with no credit cost:

  • Digital business cards, email signatures and virtual backgrounds: unlimited sharing across all modalities

  • Card sharing: unlimited contact creation from receiving someone's Blinq card, or a contact filling in your shareback form after receiving your card

  • Lead capture: capturing a lead is free. Credits are used when a lead is enriched.

  • AI Notetaker: unlimited recordings and summaries, never billed per use

  • Campaigns: event tagging, lead qualifier questions, reporting and attribution

  • Exports: sending contacts, notes and tags to your CRM, CSV, Zapier or MCP

  • Team admin (admins only): templates, permissions, integrations and the Business dashboard


What uses credits

Two features use credits:

  • Lead enrichment: when your team scans a badge, business card, LinkedIn QR code or name tag, captures a lead through Lead Capture Mode, or adds a contact manually, Blinq enriches the lead with verified contact details. Each enrichment uses 1 credit. Learn more about lead capture.

  • Bulk enrichment: uploading a list of names and companies on the dashboard and having Blinq add verified emails and phone numbers. Learn more about bulk enrichment.

Bulk enrichment pricing

Bulk enrichment is currently priced case by case, depending on your team. Talk to the Blinq team and we'll confirm pricing for your list.


How billing works

1 enrichment = 1 credit, and a credit costs $5 on pay as you go. Credits are charged in addition to your seats. Pricing is current and may change, and the Blinq team will confirm billing terms for your workspace.


Bulk credits and unlimited lead packages

Teams that capture leads at scale, or prefer to be billed upfront, can buy bulk credit packages at a discounted rate. For teams that don't want to count credits at all, unlimited lead packages are also available. Talk to the Blinq team and we'll size a package to your volume:


Tracking your credit usage

Admins can see credit usage on the Blinq Business dashboard, so you always know where your spend is going. To view it:

  1. In the dashboard, select your workspace name at the top of the left-hand menu.

  2. In the menu that opens, you'll see your workspace plan and a box showing how many credits you've used this period. Select View usage breakdown.

The Credit usage window shows:

  • Period ending: the date the current billing period ends.

  • Your plan: a card showing your credit plan, for example Pay as you go (or No credit plan if you haven't added one), with the credits used so far.

  • How did you spend your credits: a breakdown by Leads enriched, Bulk enrichment (email), and Bulk enrichment (phone), with the total credits used.

Adding credits

You can also add credits from the Credit usage window:

  1. Select your workspace name at the top of the left-hand menu, then select View usage breakdown.

  2. Select Add credit plan.

  3. In the Add more credits window, choose an amount (250, 500 or 1,000 credits), then select Add credits.

A few things to know:

  • Credits last for 12 months from purchase before expiring.

  • Credits arrive within 24 hours of purchase.

  • Credits can be used for lead enrichment or bulk enrichment.

  • Want an unlimited lead package? Select Speak with sales in the same window.
