A usable profile is one that Inbox successfully imports into your workspace.

Profiles that are unavailable, suspended, deleted, or fail during import do not consume credits.

Inbox

CRM

Existing Leads

- Replying to conversations

- Managing conversations

- Tags

- Statuses

- Notes

- Custom Fields

- Pipeline Updates

- Leads already in your workspace

- Duplicate profiles in the same import

How Imports are Charged

Large imports reserve credits before processing begins.


When the import finishes, Inbox automatically refund credits for:

  • Existing leads

  • Duplicate profiles

  • Failed imports

  • Suspended accounts

  • Unusable profiles

Only the final number of new usable profiles is charged.


Example:

CSV uploaded: 2,000 rows

Processing results:

  • 150 existing leads

  • 100 duplicates

  • 50 unavailable profiles

Final credit usage:
2,000 - 300= 1,700 credits

Credit Usage Order

Whenever inbox needs credits, they are consumed in this order.


  1. Bonus credits

  2. Monthly included credits

  3. Prepaid credit packs

  4. Credit overage (if enabled)

Monthly Credits


The Pro plan includes:

100,000 credits per connected X account each month.

These credits are automatically available every billing cycle.

The Basic plan does not include monthly credits.

Credits Overage

Credit overage allows your workspace to continue importing and scraping after your available credits have been used.

Price

$0.005 per credit

You can:

  • Enable or disable overage

Both options are available from Settings --> Billing.


If overage is disabled and you run out of credits, new credit-consuming jobs will stop until additional credits become available.

Frequently Asked Questions


When are credits charged?

  • Credits are charged only when Inbox imports or enriches a new usable lead or profile.

Do replies use credits?

  • No. Tags, notes, statuses, pipelines, and custom fields are always free.

Are duplicate leads charged?

  • No. Existing leads and duplicate profiles are automatically excluded from your final credit usage.

Why were credits reserved before my import finished?

  • Large imports reserve credits while processing. Once complete Inbox automatically refunds credits for duplicates, existing leads, failed rows, and unusable profiles.

What happens if I run out of credits?

  • If credit overage is enabled, Inbox continues processing and bills overages at $0.005 per credit. If overage is disabled, new credit-consuming jobs pause until additional credits become available.

Can I buy more credits?

  • Yes. Active Pro workspaces can purchase prepaid credit packs.
