MoltSets Pricing: Every Plan, Cap and Add-On Explained

MoltSets pricing starts at $27 a month for the Solo plan as of November 2026, with Pro at $97, Team at $397 and Max at $997, plus a free tier with no card. The word "unlimited" on those plans means no per-lookup credits, but every plan is capped by Fair Use limits on records per 5 hours and per week, and mobile numbers cost extra at $0.15 each. For the product itself (data, API, MCP and weaknesses), read our MoltSets review.

Some tool links here are affiliate links (disclosure). Nerdy Joe is a MoltSets affiliate. We have not tested MoltSets hands-on; every figure below comes from MoltSets' pricing page, its Fair Use Policy, its developer docs, its FAQ and its Terms, all listed in the sources at the end.

MoltSets pricing at a glance

Prices are as of November 2026. The 5 hour figures are from MoltSets' pricing page, and the weekly figures are from its rate limits documentation. MoltSets' FAQ says there are no contracts, no annual plans and no per-seat pricing; billing is month to month.

MoltSets' developer docs label the same four prices Starter, Growth, Scale and Enterprise; they are the same plans.

What "unlimited" really means on MoltSets

MoltSets' pricing page lists "Unlimited data" on every paid plan. Its FAQ explains that this means unlimited by data volume, but bounded by rate limits and the Fair Use Policy, with mobile numbers as the exception.

In practice, you are buying a speed limit, not a credit balance. Here is how it works, per MoltSets' Fair Use Policy and docs.

• Two windows. Each plan has a cap per rolling 5 hour window and a cap per week. Your first request opens the window; the weekly window works the same way.
• The weekly cap is the one that bites. On every paid plan, the weekly cap equals 5 times the 5 hour cap. On Solo, you could do 1,000 enrichment records in 5 hours, but only 5,000 in a week, so you cannot run at the 5 hour pace all week.
• Records vs requests. A record is deducted only when MoltSets returns a real contact. A request is counted whether or not anything comes back. Request caps are 5 times the 5 hour record cap.
• Shared across the account. Limits are per account, shared by every API key and connector, so two people or two agents on one account draw from the same pool.
• Personal email has its own cap on big plans. Personal email lookups count toward enrichment limits. On Team and Max, they are also capped at 15,000 per 5 hours and 75,000 per week, which are the Pro figures.

Full Fair Use table: enrichment

Full Fair Use table: search

MoltSets does not spell out whether one search record means one returned profile or one call. We read it as one profile but could not confirm it, so test with the free usage endpoint first.

What happens when you hit a cap

The API returns HTTP 429 (for example fair_use_limit_exceeded). Nothing is billed as overage; you wait for the window to reset or upgrade.

MoltSets' Terms bar opening several self-serve accounts to get around limits, so do not plan on stacking free or Solo accounts.

What is free to call

MoltSets says the account endpoints get_account, get_billing and get_usage use no tokens and do not count against rate limits. get_usage reports today, week, month and billing cycle, so you can watch your headroom without spending anything.

Its FAQ also says search_linkedin_profile with count_only set to true returns match counts without charging. That is useful for sizing a market before you pull records.

The free tier

The free tier needs no card. MoltSets' wording varies by page: the pricing page says 1,000 lifetime enrichment records and "1k data calls total," while the FAQ and other pages say "1,000 API calls, no card." Treat it as about 1,000 lifetime lookups plus 100 lifetime search records (10 per call max).

That is enough to run a fair test on your own contacts, and you can open a free MoltSets account without a card. Phone tokens, email validation and web scraping all require a paid plan, so you cannot test mobiles on Free. Our step-by-step guide on how to use MoltSets covers a first test with the CLI dry run and a 10 row sample.

Mobile numbers: a separate subscription

Mobile numbers are the main thing "unlimited" does not cover. MoltSets says phone tokens are not included in any plan and are sold as their own monthly subscription (a change dated September 29, 2026 in its changelog).

The rules, per MoltSets' mobile numbers pricing page and rate limits docs:

• $0.15 per token at every tier. One token equals one mobile number returned. There is no volume discount per number.
• No match, no charge. A miss costs no token, but it still counts as one Fair Use request.
• Paid plan required. You need Solo or higher underneath, so the true minimum for mobiles is $27 + $27 = $54 a month.
• Rollover while active. Unused tokens roll over while the phone subscription is active. They are lost if you cancel the phone subscription or the main plan.
• No one-off packs. Tokens are subscription only. A mid-cycle start prorates the first charge and tokens, and billing follows your main plan's renewal date.
• Running out. The API returns 402 insufficient_phone_tokens. A batch returns what your balance covers and drops the rest.

Older MoltSets blog posts mention different mobile pricing; the current pricing and docs pages say $0.15. MoltSets also does not return Do Not Call status, so DNC scrubbing and consent rules stay your job. We cover that in detail in MoltSets mobile numbers.

Priced but not live: email validation and web scraping

Two add-ons appear on MoltSets' pricing pages with full price tables, but both are marked "coming soon." The endpoints do not work yet, so do not budget for them as if they were available today.

Email validation (coming soon)

MoltSets says it will charge one token per verdict, with unknown and malformed addresses free, and it needs a paid plan. Its page compares itself with other verifiers, but that table still shows an unfilled date placeholder, so we do not repeat those figures. If you need a verifier today, see the best email verification tools.

Every email MoltSets returns already carries an A to F risk score and a last-validated date, and MoltSets says addresses that fail validation are dropped before delivery. That is included in the plan; the add-on is for checking emails you got elsewhere.

Web scraping (coming soon)

MoltSets lists six web scraping tiers, from Hobby at $19 a month for 37,500 tokens ($0.507 per 1,000) to Scale at $249 for 1,750,000 tokens ($0.142 per 1,000). One token covers one domain, and pending or not_found results are free.

It reads the homepage only (no crawling) and returns structured JSON, not raw HTML. Like validation, it needs a paid plan and is not live yet.

Flat files (CSV, TSV, Parquet or JSONL, one-time or on a refresh) are quoted per record by volume through a sales form, billed outside any plan. No price is published.

Cost per record: the math

These numbers are our arithmetic from published prices. They are ceilings that assume you use the full weekly enrichment cap every week, counted as 4 weeks a month.

Team has the lowest best-case unit cost. Max costs more per record than Team; it buys headroom, not a lower unit price.

The jumps between plans are also uneven. Pro gives 15 times Solo's weekly volume for 3.6 times the price, Team gives 10 times Pro for 4.1 times the price, and Max gives 1.5 times Team for 2.5 times the price.

Partial use is the honest number

Most buyers never max out a weekly cap, so the ceiling figures flatter the price. Here is what real months look like:

1. Solo, 2,000 contacts in a month. $27 / 2,000 = about $0.0135 per record, a bit over a cent.
2. Pro, 20,000 contacts in a month. $97 / 20,000 = about $0.0049 per record.
3. Solo plus mobiles, 1,500 emails and 150 mobiles. $27 for the plan plus $27 for 180 phone tokens = $54. The 30 unused tokens roll over while the phone subscription stays active.

Because misses do not use records, your cost is per contact returned, not per row you upload. That is MoltSets' rule for records; remember that requests still count toward the request caps.

How that compares with other data tools

List prices only, checked on each vendor's own pricing page in November 2026. Credit definitions differ, and none of this adjusts for accuracy, coverage or the tools each product includes.

MoltSets is clearly the cheapest on paper. The trade-off is no list-building UI, no sequencer, no bounce guarantee, and no published database size or accuracy figure (our in-depth MoltSets review covers each gap). Findymail, by contrast, claims a bounce guarantee with credit refunds.

For a side-by-side of those trade-offs, see our MoltSets alternatives guide and the best B2B data providers.

Refunds, cancellation and renewal

This is the section to read before paying for a big plan.

• No refunds. MoltSets' FAQ says there are no refunds on purchases or renewals. Its Terms say "All payments by Customer are nonrefundable," with refunds or credits at MoltSets' discretion.
• Cancel anytime, effective at renewal. You cancel in billing settings. Cancellations and downgrades take effect at the next renewal, with no prorated refund for the rest of the month.
• Auto-renewal. Subscriptions auto-renew. For monthly plans, non-renewal must be requested before the next billing date.
• Billing errors. The FAQ says these go to support (support@moltsets.com).
• Phone tokens on cancel. Cancelling the phone subscription or the main plan loses any rolled-over tokens.

The practical rule: start on Free, move to Solo, and only step up when get_usage shows you hitting the weekly cap. Because there are no refunds, a month on the wrong large plan is money you will not get back.

Plan-gated features to know about

• Ad audience endpoints. email_to_maid, business_email_to_sha256 and linkedin_to_sha256 are available on Free, $27 and $97 plans, but not on $397 or $997, per MoltSets' FAQ and a September 29, 2026 changelog entry. If you build ad audiences, a bigger plan removes that option.
• Personal email caps. Team and Max cap personal email at 75,000 per week. Solo and Pro have no separate personal email cap beyond enrichment limits. Personal emails are US records only.
• Seats. There is no per-seat pricing. MoltSets says it is one account per domain and you can invite multiple users, but each user needs their own login under the Terms. A seat cap per plan is not stated.
• Agencies. MoltSets updated its Data Services Agreement and DPA on October 22, 2026 to let agencies use it for clients.

Which MoltSets plan fits which buyer

A checklist before you pay:

• [ ] Run your test on Free with contacts you can check yourself.
• [ ] Estimate weekly volume, not monthly, because the weekly cap is the binding one.
• [ ] Budget mobiles separately at $0.15 each, on top of the plan.
• [ ] Do not count on email validation or web scraping until MoltSets marks them live.
• [ ] Remember there are no refunds; move up a plan only when usage shows you need it.

When you are ready, check MoltSets' current plans on its pricing page. If you are also budgeting inboxes and domains, our cold email cost calculator adds up the rest of the stack.

Bottom line on MoltSets pricing

MoltSets is one of the cheapest ways to get verified B2B emails at volume: $27 a month buys up to 5,000 enrichment records a week, and misses are free. Just read "unlimited" as "capped per 5 hours and per week," budget mobiles as a separate $0.15 per number subscription, ignore the coming-soon add-ons for now, and remember there are no refunds.
