Scout Pricing Update
Credits are retired. Search is unlimited on every plan. You pay for two things now: unlocking a creator, and sending outreach.
Hello friends,
Today we made a few important updates to the Scout pricing system.
Previously, Scout charged you per creator a search returned, which meant the task you do most, searching, was the part you paid for. So we took credits out.
Search is free on every plan now. Every search, filter, the whole creator directory, and rate estimates. You pay for two things: unlocking a creator, and sending outreach. 👇
Creator Unlocks
Before, every piece of a creator cost you separately: credits to see them in your results, for their business email, audience data, trust check, more for a rate estimate. You paid for it field by field, having to decide which field was worth it before you knew anything about the creator.
Now all it takes is one click to unlock the whole profile, nothing else to spend. This matches how people actually research a creator, in one go instead of one field at a time.
How It Works
- Search as much as you want. Unlimited on every plan, including the deeper runs where Scout goes out and finds channels it did not have yet.
- Unlock a creator when you want to contact them. One button reveals their business email, audience demographics, and Scout Score. No email found, no unlock spent.
- Reach out from the same button. It turns into Reach out the moment a creator is unlocked.
- Watch two numbers instead of a balance. Settings, then Usage, shows what you have used this month and the day it resets.
What You Get Each Month
| Plan | Price | Unlocks | Sends |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 3 | 1 |
| Starter | $19 | 8 | 5 |
| Pro | $129 | 75 | 50 |
| Scale | $499 | 300 | 200 |
Why We Changed Pricing
Credits were confusing. That is the feedback we got. You couldn't tell what a search would cost you before you ran it.
What Scout is for is finding creators worth an intro, so that is what we price now. Searching, filtering, and reading creator pages cost nothing. You spend when you find someone you want to talk to.

FAQ
What happens to my credits? Nothing you need to do. Credits are retired, and your plan's monthly unlocks and sends replace them.
What if I am on the free tier? Search as much as you like. Free also includes 3 creator unlocks and 1 outreach send a month, with no card.
Do unlocks and sends roll over? No, both reset at the start of each month. Searching is unlimited, so there is nothing to save up.
Did prices change? No. Starter is still $19, Pro $129, Scale $499.
What if an unlock does not find an email? It does not count against your total.
