Hi Sid k. here is more context on Clay and how credits work.
Clay is an aggregator/one access pass to 50+ data providers and their enrichment or data search services.
Enrichments cost credits to run which you can see how much each one charges per search or result (cost established by the provider) when you add them (green credit icon next to them), and some will even refund the credits if they don't find data (some still charge even if they don't find anything).
If you use your own API key we won't charge you credits for that enrichment provider. Clay.com/pricing for our plans.
