How the monthly 100 works
Searching, filtering and saving never use a credit. A contact is used only when Buzzlist gives you a business email, personal email, mobile or direct dial you did not already have.
Your 100 reset every month. Reopening a person you already revealed in the same month is free. A record with no permitted contact detail costs nothing, even if you reveal it. Nothing about the free plan asks you for payment information first, and nothing expires while you stay on the plan.
What 100 contacts a month is actually enough for
It is one campaign, not a quarter of them. That is about 25 people a week. Enough to work one tight list properly, like med spa owners in three ZIP codes, or finance directors at mid-size manufacturers in two states.
It is not enough to run a sales team on. It is not meant to be. It answers the one question a pricing page cannot: are the people I sell to in here, with an email or phone I can use? Search for the people you really sell to, reveal 20 of them, check the results against what you know. If the answer is no, you have lost nothing.
What the free plan leaves out
Said plainly, so nothing is a surprise after you sign up: On a phone? Use the short sign-up page.
- No AI credits. That means no Sales Briefs and no the four emails. The sample brief is published in full so you can read a finished one before deciding it is worth paying for.
- No search in a sentence. Free uses the filters, which cover title, seniority, department, industry, NAICS and SIC, company size, state, city and ZIP radius.
- No deeper business profiles. Work history, skills and email verification status, starts on Growth at $499 a month.
- No sending yet. On paid plans Buzz writes the emails; today you send them from your own mailbox. Sending from inside Buzzlist is coming.
