Reveal Contacts & Understand Credits

Credits unlock contact details — and Sponsorable is built so you can see exactly what you're buying before you spend. This tutorial walks the reveal flow on the Free and Starter plans. (On Pro, contacts arrive unmasked and none of this is needed.)

Steps

  1. Find your balance any time in the bottom-left credit meter — it links to billing, and the full spend history lives at Credits → Usage.
  2. Open any sponsor's Contacts tab. Masked contacts show, top to bottom: initials, the full job title, disclosure chips, and a reveal button that tells you the price and exactly what you'll get:
    • Disclosure chips — whether a LinkedIn profile is on file, and whether an email is, including its domain (e.g. Email @draftkings.com). You know what a reveal returns before spending.
    • Adaptive button — "Reveal email — 1 credit" when an email is on file; "Reveal LinkedIn — 1 credit" when it's LinkedIn-only. No surprises either way.
  3. Click reveal. The card swaps to the full contact: name, email, LinkedIn. One credit is deducted — you'll see it in the meter and in Credits → Usage, attributed to who spent it.
  4. The rule that makes spending safe: everything you unlock stays unlocked for your whole organization, forever. Revealed contacts render fully for every teammate, on the web, API, and MCP server, and you're never charged twice for the same contact. Sponsors already unlocked by your team show a check mark in search results.
  5. Budgeting: the Free plan includes 10 one-time credits; Starter refreshes to 100 each billing cycle (unused credits don't roll over). When your last credit goes, the account owner gets one email. Details and the full plan matrix: Credits & Plans.

Spend credits like a pro

  • Vet first, reveal last — the whole vetting tutorial costs nothing; the reveal is the final step once you've chosen your target.
  • Prefer contacts whose disclosure shows an email at the brand's own domain — that's a direct line, not a guess.
  • Revealing through an AI assistant? The MCP server uses the same credits and the same permanence — well-behaved assistants confirm before spending.
