What needs a connected account
One table showing which capabilities run on public data with nothing connected, which act through your own account, and what each one costs.
Find your capability in the first column and read across: the second column tells you whether it needs your connected account, and the last one tells you what it costs. One credit is one baseline action, so a cost of 1 credit per page means each page of results counts once.
| Capability | Needs your connected account | What it finds | What it costs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Find people | No | People matching a description, from public data across the open web | 1 credit per page |
| Find companies | No | Companies matching a description | 1 credit per page |
| Read a public profile | No | The full public profile of one person | 1 credit |
| Read a public company page | No | What a company says about itself publicly | 1 credit |
| Find posts | No | Public posts matching a topic, phrase, or from a person | 1 credit per page |
| Find jobs | No | Open roles matching a title, company or location, with the company hiring, as a buying signal | 1 credit per page |
| Enrich a list | No | Refreshes and optionally grades a whole list of already-saved people | Same as a single lookup, scaled to the list |
| People on a post | No for a preview, yes to save them | Everyone who liked or commented on a public post | 1 credit per page |

The split exists because the two lanes touch different things. The account lane acts as you, so it is paced, budgeted and quota-guarded, and it pauses on its own if your session expires. The public lane never touches your account at all, which is why every step before real outreach works with nothing connected.
