# Unlimited Email Finder Plans

> Flat-rate monthly plans for the email finder, in the web app and the API. How the two meters work, what's included, and how to get started.

Unlimited plans are flat-rate monthly subscriptions for the email finder, covering both the API and the dashboard bulk finder. Instead of paying per lookup with credits, you pay a fixed monthly price and work within your plan's caps. They are built for regular email finder workloads: list enrichment pipelines, CRM integrations, products that embed lookup, and recurring CSV enrichment in the dashboard.

Current pricing and plan details live on the [pricing page](https://orbisearch.com/pricing).

| Plan                   | Price    | Single lookups  | Requests per second | Bulk searches per day |
| ---------------------- | -------- | --------------- | ------------------- | --------------------- |
| Unlimited Starter      | \$249/mo | 100,000 / month | 10                  | 10,000                |
| Unlimited Standard     | \$499/mo | 200,000 / month | 15                  | 30,000                |
| Unlimited Professional | \$999/mo | 400,000 / month | 20                  | 75,000                |

## Unlimited API keys

Unlimited plans use their own API key type. On the [dashboard API keys page](https://orbisearch.com/dashboard/api-keys) you can create two kinds of key:

* **Pay as you go** keys authenticate the credit-metered `/v1` endpoints.
* **Unlimited** keys require an active unlimited plan and authenticate the `/v1/unlimited` endpoints.

The two are not interchangeable. Using a key on the wrong endpoint family returns `403` with `code: wrong_key_plan`. The one exception is [POST /v1/content-spam-check](/docs/api-reference/content-spam-check), which accepts both key types. If your subscription lapses, unlimited keys return `402` with `code: subscription_inactive` and resume working when the subscription is reinstated.

See [authentication](/docs/authentication) for how keys are passed on requests.

## The two meters

Unlimited plans have two independent meters. No credits are ever charged on `/v1/unlimited` endpoints.

**Monthly single-lookup cap.** Each [POST /v1/unlimited/email-lookup](/docs/api-reference/unlimited-email-lookup) response counts one request against your plan's monthly cap. The cap follows your billing period and resets when the next period begins. At the cap, requests return `429` with `code: monthly_quota_exceeded`.

**Daily bulk search limit.** A search is one attempt to find one person's email, so each submitted row costs one search. Each accepted [POST /v1/unlimited/bulk-lookup](/docs/api-reference/unlimited-bulk-lookup-submit) submission consumes one search per row from your plan's daily limit. You can submit an unlimited number of jobs, each up to `10,000` rows; the daily limit bounds total searches per UTC day and resets at UTC midnight. Rejected or failed submissions consume nothing. At the limit, submissions return `429` with `code: bulk_searches_limited` and a `Retry-After` giving the seconds until the reset. The limit is per account and is shared with [dashboard bulk finder jobs run on your plan](#using-your-plan-in-the-dashboard): both surfaces draw from the same daily pool.

Single lookups are also rate-limited to your plan's requests per second, applied per account (creating more keys does not raise it).

Check both meters at any time via [GET /v1/unlimited/usage](/docs/api-reference/unlimited-usage). It is free to call and reports usage, remaining allowance, and reset times for both windows.

## Endpoints

The `/v1/unlimited` endpoints mirror their classic counterparts exactly (same request and response contracts); only the metering differs.

| Endpoint                                                                                         | Purpose                                      |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------- |
| [POST /v1/unlimited/email-lookup](/docs/api-reference/unlimited-email-lookup)                         | Find one person's email by name and domain   |
| [POST /v1/unlimited/bulk-lookup](/docs/api-reference/unlimited-bulk-lookup-submit)                    | Submit a bulk lookup job (up to 10,000 rows) |
| [GET /v1/unlimited/bulk-lookup/\{job\_id}](/docs/api-reference/unlimited-bulk-lookup-status)          | Poll job status                              |
| [GET /v1/unlimited/bulk-lookup/\{job\_id}/results](/docs/api-reference/unlimited-bulk-lookup-results) | Fetch paginated results                      |
| [GET /v1/unlimited/usage](/docs/api-reference/unlimited-usage)                                        | Check plan consumption                       |

For lookup semantics, workflow, and code examples, the [email lookup](/docs/guides/email-lookup) and [bulk lookup](/docs/guides/bulk-lookup) guides apply unchanged; substitute the `/v1/unlimited` paths and an Unlimited key.

## Using your plan in the dashboard

The [dashboard bulk finder](https://orbisearch.com/dashboard/bulk-lookup) can run jobs on your plan too, with no API key involved. When you upload a list, the job modal shows a **Use unlimited plan** toggle. With the toggle on, the job's rows count as searches against the same daily bulk search limit as the API and no credits are charged; the modal shows how many searches you have left today. With the toggle off, the job uses credits exactly as before. Accounts without an active plan see the toggle disabled.

Because the daily limit is per account, API submissions and plan-covered dashboard jobs share one pool. A `429` on one surface means the other is at the limit too.

## What's not included

Email validation ([POST /v1/verify](/docs/api-reference/verify-email) and [POST /v1/bulk](/docs/api-reference/bulk-submit)) is not part of unlimited plans, in the API or the dashboard. Validation stays credit-metered, so keep a credit balance (and a pay-as-you-go key for API validation) if you also validate lists.

## Fair use

Unlimited plans are subject to the [fair use policy](https://orbisearch.com/fair-use). The published limits are the `10,000` rows per job (one search each) and the daily search limits above.

## Managing your plan

Purchase a plan from the [pricing page](https://orbisearch.com/pricing). Manage, cancel, or switch plans via the billing portal from your dashboard. Upgrades take effect immediately and are prorated; downgrades take effect at the end of the current billing period.
