One credit enriches one candidate. That's the only thing credits are spent on.

When you enrich a candidate, Shortlistr:

• Pulls their profile data from professional networks
• Runs the AI brief-completion pass on them against the role
• Tracks them through every stage of the brief room — verdicts, notes, comparisons, exports

The same candidate is never charged twice in the same workspace. Re-importing them, re-opening their card, re-running AI on them, or moving them through more rooms is free.

Monthly pool

Each plan includes a pool of enrichments that refreshes every billing period:

• Solo — ~80 candidate enrichments / month
• Studio — ~250 candidate enrichments / user / month
• Firm — custom volume, negotiated annually

What stays unlimited

• Searches (Coresignal queries, agentic search runs)
• Briefs, brief drafting, devil's-advocate runs
• Briefing rooms, reviewer invites, reviewer seats
• AI on candidates you've already enriched (intro drafts, intelligence, Q&A)
• PDF and DOCX exports
• Re-opening and re-sharing rooms

What spends a credit

• The first time you enrich a candidate in your workspace
• Spreadsheet, CV, and LinkedIn imports do not spend a credit on their own — the import is free; enrichment is the chargeable action
• Agent runs that return candidates you've already enriched don't re-charge

Top-ups and auto-recharge

Top-up packs (50 / 200 / 1000 credits) and opt-in auto-recharge ship with the next pricing update. Today the meter is visible in Settings → Billing but no account is charged on it — existing subscribers will be grandfathered when the new pricing goes live.

Where to see your usage

Settings → Billing shows your current monthly pool, how many credits you've spent in the period, and a recent-activity ledger of every enrichment.
