SignalHire Pricing in 2026: What Every Plan Really Costs

SignalHire is a contact finder. It sells email addresses and phone numbers from a database it puts at 900M+ profiles, through CSV enrichment, an API, and a browser extension. As of September 2026, it has a free plan, three paid plans from $39 to $99 a month, and a Scale plan priced on request. This guide covers every plan and slider stop, what one credit buys, the 2,000-credit cap behind "Unlimited", the real annual discount, and the cost per credit.

FullEnrich sells a competing product. SignalHire's current prices below come from SignalHire's own pages.

Key Takeaways

• SignalHire has a free plan (5 credits a month, 10 with the extension) and three paid plans: Emails, Phones, and Emails & Phones. They start at $39 a month billed annually or $49 billed monthly (September 2026).
• Each paid plan has a three-stop slider. The top stop, "Unlimited", costs $63 to $99 a month and is capped at 2,000 credits a month by SignalHire's fair-use policy (September 2026).
• One credit reveals one profile. It's only used when at least one email or phone number comes back.
• Annual billing is 16% to 20% cheaper than monthly at the same stop, not the "up to 74%" the badge suggests (September 2026).
• At list price, SignalHire costs less per phone reveal than FullEnrich. FullEnrich's credits roll over and draw on 25+ providers.

How much does SignalHire cost in 2026?

SignalHire costs $0 to $99 a month as of September 2026. The free plan gives you 5 credits a month, or 10 with the browser extension. The three paid plans, Emails, Phones, and Emails & Phones, start at $39 a month billed annually or $49 billed monthly. Their top stop, "Unlimited", runs $63 to $99. Scale has no public price, just a "Let's talk" button.

Each paid card has a three-stop slider: entry, middle, and Unlimited. Your price depends on the stop and the billing toggle. That's 18 paid price points, all in this table. Phones and Emails & Phones cost the same and give the same credits at every stop, so they share rows.

Watch the credit numbers on annual billing. SignalHire's pricing page shows them without a unit, and they're yearly totals. The 12,000 on the annual Emails card means 1,000 credits a month, the same as the $69 monthly plan.

Features don't change between paid plans. All three list unlimited users, unlimited exports, CSV enrichment, the extension, ATS/CRM integration, and API access. You're only choosing the contact type and the volume.

Why SignalHire's price looks different on every site

The pricing page hides its entry price, SignalHire's other pages disagree with it, and third-party sites copy older grids.

The Emails and Phones cards open on the middle stop: $57 billed annually, or $69 monthly (September 2026). Emails & Phones opens on Unlimited: $83 annually, or $99 monthly. The $39 and $49 entry prices only appear when you drag a slider left. So a quick look gives you $57, $69, $83, or $99, depending on the card and the billing toggle.

SignalHire's own pages add more numbers. The browser extension page says "Starting from only $49 per month!" and mentions plans "starting from 100 credits per month". As of September 2026, the smallest paid plan gives 300 credits a month, and annual billing starts at $39. SignalHire's RocketReach comparison page and its email-finder roundup still list "$49 per 350 emails". Today, $49 buys 600 email credits on monthly billing.

Third-party pages spread the range further. SyncGTM says SignalHire "starts at $69/month". LeadHaste says it "starts around $49 per month for a small credit pack". G2's pricing box shows "Base Starting at $39.00". In September 2026, Google's AI Overview for "signalhire pricing" quoted "$39 to $49 per month" and "$139 to $167+" for the combined plan.

Most of these figures match a single slider stop, or a price SignalHire charged in 2025.

What SignalHire cost in 2025

The $167 Unlimited price that still circulates was real. Archived copies of SignalHire's pricing page show Phones and Emails & Phones Unlimited at $167 a month, billed annually, in July and October 2025 (October 2025 snapshot). The archive only shows each card's default stop, so other 2025 stops may have existed.

Between October 2025 and September 2026, SignalHire halved the annual price of Unlimited. It also cut the cap from 5,000 to 2,000 credits a month. If you use the full cap, each credit now costs more. Phones and Emails & Phones Unlimited went from $0.0334 to $0.0415 per credit, up 24%. Emails Unlimited went from $0.0250 to $0.0315, up 26%.

What does one SignalHire credit buy?

One credit reveals the contact details of one profile. SignalHire's pricing FAQ is plain about it: "Clicking the button subtracts 1 contact if at least 1 email address or phone number is returned." No result, no charge. The extension page lists what one credit can return: "cell & business phone numbers and personal & work emails, for one business profile".

Your plan decides which of those you see. Emails reveals emails. Phones reveals phone numbers. Emails & Phones reveals both, and it costs the same as Phones at every stop (September 2026). If you need phones at all, the combined plan gives you more for the same price.

Some actions don't touch your balance. Saving a profile to a list is free. SignalHire's help center says credits are deducted "ONLY if the system finds some contact information after you have clicked on the Reveal Contacts button." Every paid card also lists unlimited exports.

You can also reveal contacts outside the extension:

• Bulk: the bulk tool finds contacts "for up to 1,000 people at once".
• API: calls consume paid credits, and every response carries an X-Credits-Left header with your balance.
• MCP: SignalHire's MCP server connects AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT. Its page says "MCP access is available on all SignalHire plans, including the free tier."

A found result isn't always the contact you wanted, and it still costs a credit. Tom C., a senior recruiter, wrote in a May 2026 G2 review: "Sometimes clicks get wasted because I end up seeing a candidate’s office email instead of a personal email." G2 marks that review as incentivized, and he still gave SignalHire 5 stars. Your real cost depends on how many reveals you can use.

What does SignalHire "Unlimited" really include?

Unlimited means up to 2,000 credits a month. The tooltip on every Unlimited stop says "your spending is limited to 2k credits per month" (September 2026).

Section 9.10 of SignalHire's terms spells out the rest:

• Shared cap: the 2,000-credit "Monthly limit" covers every user on the account. The terms call it "aggregate for all of them".
• No carry-over: unused allowance "shall expire at the end of such month".
• Paid upgrades: you can raise the limit "for additional fee" by contacting sales.

The terms and the pricing page disagree on who can buy Unlimited. Section 9.10 says unlimited packages are "available for Users, who purchased annual subscription". Yet the pricing page sells Unlimited on monthly billing too, at $79 for Emails and $99 for Phones or Emails & Phones (September 2026). If you plan to buy Unlimited monthly, ask SignalHire in writing which rule applies.

Some review sites, including Prospeo and SalesRobot, still say Unlimited caps you at 5,000 credits a month. That was the 2025 cap. SignalHire's page and terms say 2,000 as of September 2026.

So when does Unlimited pay off? Only when you'd use most of it (September 2026 prices):

• Phones, annual: Unlimited costs $83 a month against $57 for the 5,400-credit plan. That's $26 more for up to 2,000 credits a month instead of 450. It beats that plan per credit once you reveal more than 655 profiles a month, which is more than the 450 a month that plan includes.
• Emails, annual: Unlimited is only $6 more than the 12,000-credit plan. But you need more than 1,105 credits a month to get a lower price per credit, more than the 1,000 a month that plan includes.

Monthly vs annual billing: the real discount

Annual billing saves you 16% to 20% a month at the same stop (September 2026). Entry stops drop from $49 to $39, a 20% cut. Middle stops drop from $69 to $57, or 17%. Unlimited drops from $79 to $63 on Emails (20%) and from $99 to $83 on the phone plans (16%).

So why does the toggle say "SAVE UP TO 74%"? The badge doesn't compare annual to monthly. It compares each price to a struck-through reference price. The 74% is Phones Unlimited at $83 against a crossed-out $327. The monthly Phones Unlimited card shows the same $327, with a 70% badge on its $99 price. No plan on the grid costs $327.

Ignore the badges and compare the two real prices. Remember that annual is a year-long commitment: $684 for the $57 middle stop (September 2026).

Check the credit and refund rules before you pick. On standard plans, the pricing FAQ says: "You will be able to use your remaining credits until the end of your current billing cycle." On Unlimited, the monthly allowance expires every month. The terms say "we do not offer any refunds, unless there has been evidence provided in an acceptable form of unauthorised activity by a third party." You can cancel at any time, per SignalHire's help center.

That's where older G2 complaints come from. Reviews from 2021 and 2023 describe losing unused credits when a month ended, on older plans. Mark B., a digital marketing consultant, wrote in an April 2023 review: "The following month I was billed $43.00 again." Those reviews predate today's grid. The 10 newest G2 reviews, posted from late March to September 2026, all give 5 stars.

A safer way to start (September 2026 prices):

1. Go monthly at the entry stop: $49 for 600 email credits or 300 phone credits.
2. Run your real list through it and count the reveals you can actually use.
3. Switch to annual only if those useful reveals hold up.

SignalHire cost per credit, plan by plan

Across the 12 paid options, cost per credit ranges from $0.0315 to $0.1633 (September 2026). The cheapest is Emails Unlimited on annual billing, but only if you use all 2,000 credits every month. The most expensive is the Phones entry stop on monthly billing.

Two patterns stand out:

• Phone credits cost far more than email credits. At fixed stops, phone plans run $0.1267 to $0.1633 per credit. Email plans run $0.0570 to $0.0817.
• Unlimited is cheapest only at full use. Annual Phones Unlimited works out to $0.0415 per credit at 2,000 credits a month. At 655 credits a month, it's no better than the 5,400-credit plan.

A credit pays for a revealed profile. Whether that contact works is a separate question, and an office email you can't use still costs a credit. So divide your spend by the contacts you actually use.

Run the same math on any tool you're comparing. It's the fastest way to read Lusha's pricing or ContactOut pricing against SignalHire's.

Is SignalHire worth the price?

SignalHire is good value if you reveal a few hundred profiles a month and want phone numbers without paying per seat. It's a weaker fit if you need high volume or refund flexibility.

Where SignalHire wins (September 2026):

• Cheap phone reveals: $0.127 per revealed profile on the $57 annual Phones plan.
• No seat fees: unlimited users, "we do not charge per seat", per the pricing FAQ.
• A real free plan: 5 credits a month, or 10 with the extension, with no credit card required.
• MCP on every plan: including the free tier.
• A simple billing rule: a credit goes only when an email or phone is found.

SignalHire holds 4.0 out of 5 on G2 from 72 reviews (September 2026). Recent reviewers like the accuracy of the contact data and the Chrome extension. Paul H., a chief digital and technology officer, wrote "Worth the price" in his September 2026 review. He also noted that "Data coverage can vary depending on the type of contact being searched" and called it "not something I would rely on without verification".

Watch-outs (September 2026):

• The Unlimited cap: 2,000 credits a month, shared across the team, with no carry-over.
• No refunds: except with proof of unauthorised third-party activity.
• Database figures that don't match: the homepage and pricing page say 900M+ profiles. The About Us page says "400+ million professional contacts".
• A Phones plan with no price edge: Emails & Phones costs the same at every stop.

Who it fits: recruiters and small teams revealing a few hundred profiles a month from LinkedIn. Heavy users will hit the 2,000-credit cap. If Lusha is also on your shortlist, our Lusha vs SignalHire comparison puts the two side by side.

SignalHire vs FullEnrich pricing

SignalHire is cheaper per phone reveal at list price (September 2026). FullEnrich costs more per phone, charges only for a verified mobile, and rolls your credits over.

SignalHire wins on phones. On its $57 annual Phones plan, a revealed profile costs $0.127. On FullEnrich's 12,000-credit annual tier ($49 a month), a mobile costs 10 credits, or $0.49. That SignalHire plan gives you 5,400 profiles a year. The FullEnrich tier covers 1,200 mobiles. Emails are closer: $0.057 per profile against $0.049 per work email.

The charging rule is the other difference. A SignalHire credit goes when any email or phone comes back, and that can be a business line. FullEnrich runs waterfall enrichment across 25+ providers and charges only for data that's found and verified. Landlines cost nothing. One credit pool covers emails and phones, and unused credits roll over for 3 months on monthly plans or 12 on annual ones.

For cheap phone lookups on a few hundred profiles a month, SignalHire's list price is hard to beat. If you'd rather pay only for verified data and keep unused credits, see FullEnrich pricing. Our guide to SignalHire alternatives covers other options.
