1  The four credit pools 

Oppora tracks four separate credit pools. Each is consumed by different actions, and running one dry never touches the others. 

Pool	Spent on
Data credits	Finding and verifying contact data, showing search results, enrichment.
AI credits	AI operations — Ask Ora, AI Search, templates, Reply Ora, scoring, personalization, workflow agent steps.
Phone credits	Phone-number lookups.
Recipient credits	Emailing a unique person in a campaign — 1 per unique address per billing cycle; follow-ups free.

This guide is a companion to "1.4 Understanding Credits" in the Getting Started section that article lists the pools and allowances; this one focuses on how deductions actually happen, with worked examples. 

2  Cost of every action (quick reference) 

Data credits 

Action	Cost
Finder results shown (Company or People)	1 per 100 results
Find People from a list — Standard	1 per lead
Find People from a list — Premium Real-time	3 per lead
Find People from a list — Deep	5 per lead
Find Email	1
Verify Email	1 (only if not verified in last 30 days)
Risky / Catch-all Verify	3
Company Enrich / Enrichment	1
Workflow agent — results found (per result)	1 per result

AI credits 

Action	Cost
AI Search (Finder, per search)	1
Ask Ora (assistant question)	5
AI email template	1
Reply Ora (AI reply)	1
AI scoring / recommendations	1
AI variable	1
Workflow agent step (per agent, any volume)	1
AI personalization — Basic (per lead)	1
AI personalization — Standard (per lead)	2
AI personalization — Deep (per lead)	3

Phone & recipient credits 

Action	Cost
Find phone number	1 phone credit
Email a unique recipient in a campaign	1 recipient credit (once per billing cycle; follow-ups free)

3  When credits are deducted 

• Finder results — data credits are charged for the results you view (per 100). AI Search adds 1 AI credit for interpreting the prompt; Manual Filters adds none. 
• AI personalization — charged when the content is generated, not when it's sent. If you can only afford part of a list, Oppora personalizes what it can and holds the rest back; nobody gets a half-empty email. 
• Verify Email — charged only for addresses not already verified in the last 30 days; re-verifying a recently checked address is free. 
• Recipient credits — charged once per unique address per billing cycle. Contacting the same person again in the same cycle — even from a different campaign — costs nothing, and follow-ups are always free. The cycle follows your subscription date, not the calendar month. 
• Workflow agents — 1 AI credit per agent step (regardless of volume), plus data credits that scale with what the step finds. 
• Running out is safe — campaigns pause and resume automatically when the cycle renews or you upgrade; enrichment processes leads until credits run out, then stops cleanly. 

4  Worked scenarios 

A · AI company search, 250 results 

1 AI + 3 data credits. One AI credit for the AI Search; data rounds up per 100 (250 → 3). 

B · Manual people search, 100 results 

1 data credit, no AI credit (Manual Filters don't use AI). 

C · Find People from a list 

10 leads/company across ~20 companies with a fallback set. You pick one data source: Standard = 1/lead (~200 credits), Premium = 3/lead, or Deep = 5/lead. Fallback sets keep filling toward your per-company target but don't change the per-lead price. 

D · Company Enrich on 50 imported companies 

50 data credits (1 each). Companies found in Finder are already enriched — enriching those would be unnecessary and is not needed. 

E · Workflow: Company Finder → People Finder → Email Finder 

• Company Finder finds 100 → 1 AI + 100 data. 
• People Finder on them → 1 AI + per-lead data for the people returned. 
• Email Finder on those leads → 1 data per lead for emails found. 

The AI cost is 1 per step regardless of volume; the data cost scales with results. 

F · Campaign to 1,000 unique recipients 

1,000 recipient credits (once per cycle); follow-ups are free. If you add Deep AI personalization, that's 3 AI credits per lead on top, charged when content is generated. 

G · Email verification, one address 

1 data credit (skipped if verified in the last 30 days). 

H · Assistant and reply actions 

Ask Ora question = 5 AI; Reply Ora reply = 1 AI; Find Phone = 1 phone credit. 

5  How to spend less 

• Filter before you enrich — Find Email only for ICP-matched, scored leads. 
• Use list-level verified-email counts to avoid re-enriching leads that already have an address. 
• Cap results per workflow step (e.g. "find 133 companies") so a broad prompt doesn't burn a big data batch. 
• Reserve Deep personalization (3/lead) and Deep/Premium people search (5 / 3 per lead) for high-value segments; Standard/Basic covers most cold outreach. 
• Wait until the readiness check says AI content covers everyone before launching — partial coverage means held-back leads, not partial sends. 
• Remember follow-ups and re-contacts within a cycle are free you're paying for unique reach, not volume. 

Free headroom: Bonus credits from Win Free Credits never expire and are spent before your monthly allowance, so earning a few reviews or referrals effectively raises your monthly ceiling at no cost.
