Your Billing Period Defines Your Credit Renewal Time Frame

All our customers commit to yearly contracts during the signup process, but within those agreements, you're able to choose whether to pay for the whole year up front or via quarterly or monthly installments.

Whichever billing cycle you commit to locks in how often your account is allocated new data Credits: once a year for yearly billing, once a quarter for quarterly billing, once a month for monthly billing. That affects, in turn, how you should set your User Credit Limits.

For example, if you purchase 60,000 leads and pay annually, we'll allocate all 60,000 data credits as soon as you're paid up. If you want those credits used equally between two Apollo Users, you'd set their Credit Limits to 30,000 each. 

If you purchase 60,000 leads (total for the year) and pay quarterly, we'll allocate those data credits in equal quarterly installments (on the same day you pay). You'll get 15,000 data credits added to your account each quarter, so if you want those credits used equally between two Apollo Users, you'd set their Credit Limits to 7,500 each. Every quarter, your account will get 15,000 more data credits and your users will be able to use 7,500 until you hit the next quarter. 

If you purchase 60,000 leads (total for the year) and pay monthly, we'll allocate those data credits in equal monthly installments (on the same day you pay). You'll get 5,000 data credits added to your account each month, so if you want those credits used equally between two Apollo Users, you'd set their Credit Limits to 2,500 each. Every month, your account will get 10,000 more data credits and your users will be able to use 2,500 until you hit the next quarter.
