Pricing & credits
What a call costs. Empty rows are free. No annual commit.
LinkFetch is metered in credits. Credits are flat-priced, never expire within 12 months of purchase, and are only charged for non-empty responses.
Credit cost per endpoint
| Endpoint | Credits | What you get |
|---|---|---|
GET /v1/profiles | 5 | One profile, typed and provenance-stamped |
GET /v1/companies/:slug | 8 | One company record |
GET /v1/jobs | 3 | Per returned job |
GET /v1/people/search | 2 | Per hit returned |
POST /v1/outreach/queue | 1 | Per queued invite (user is principal) |
| Empty response | 0 | 404 or zero rows never charged |
These are list prices. The dashboard shows your exact rate; Scale-tier customers get custom bands.

Subscriptions (datasets)
The Jobs dataset ships as a separate SKU:
- Monthly Snapshot — $49, one-off, last 30 days
- Subscription — $89/mo, real-time webhooks + daily + monthly rollups
- Custom — talk to us for historical backfill + DPA
Details at linkfetch.io/datasets/jobs.
Empty rows are free
If a profile URL resolves to no data, or a search returns zero hits, we don't charge. This is a contractual commitment — if you're getting charged for 404s, email info@linkfetch.io and we'll refund plus double the difference.
How credits are debited
Per-request. The response includes meta.credits_charged, and the
X-Credits-Remaining header tells you your balance after the call. Your
dashboard usage page has the full ledger.
Cache hits
A cache hit costs full credits. We don't offer a cache discount because it incentivises clients to depend on stale data. If you want cheaper reads, use the dataset product instead of the API.
Billing
Credits and subscriptions are processed by Paddle as Merchant of Record. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel any time in the billing page. Refunds on cancellation are pro-rated to the day.
