The number on Salesgenie’s packages page is $99. The number on a dialing floor’s invoice is not, and the gap is not a trick — it is what happens when a product priced as a seat is bought to do a file’s job. A seat licenses looking. A floor does not look at a database; it exports one, loads it, and dials it, and every one of those steps is either priced in a different unit or not priced on the page at all. This guide lays out the whole bill line by line: what is printed, what is quoted, what the twelve-month term does to the sticker, and how to turn the result into a cost per connect you can put beside any file vendor’s quote.
Whether Salesgenie is the right product for a floor at all — what a subscription prices against what a file prices, and where the seat genuinely wins — is the subject of Salesgenie alternatives. This page assumes you are past that and want the arithmetic.
Disclosure: Scout Data is our product and we sell homeowner phone files to call centers — treat that mention as a maker’s pitch and the rest as our read of Salesgenie’s public pages, quoted as advertised on 20 September 2026. We did not take the trial or speak to a consultant.
What is printed, and what is not
| Line item | Salesgenie’s wording | Printed or quoted? |
|---|---|---|
| Basic seat | “Starting at $99 / month” — one licence, unlimited views | Printed. Exports and email addresses are marked not included. |
| Pro seat | $149 / month — one licence | Printed. Exports and email addresses “use credits.” |
| Team seat | $299 — five licences | Printed, without a period beside it; the FAQ bills every plan monthly. |
| Lead credits | “Add any number of monthly credits to your subscription at any time.” | Not printed. “Customized based on your business needs”; quoted by a consultant. |
| Buyer-intent add-on | “an additional $50/mo” on any plan | Printed. Described as intent signals from businesses, not consumers. |
| Term | “The subscription lasts for 12 months. After that, it renews automatically month to month at the then current rate.” | Printed. Cancellation is “anytime after the initial subscription.” |
| Billing | “You will be charged every month on the date you sign up.” | Printed. Card only unless “billing terms” are approved. |
| Guarantee | Refund “for the portion of your list that was undeliverable, out-of-date or disconnected” | Printed. A remedy on the list, not on the dials. |
| Trial | No card required to explore | Printed. Registration by email address. |

Read down the third column and the shape of the bill appears. The seats, the add-on, the term and the guarantee are all printed. The one line a floor consumes by the thousand — the credit — is the one line that is not. Salesgenie is candid about why: its cost FAQ lists nine factors that move the price, from package and number of users to credits, databases and tools, and ends with “packages are tailored to fit the needs of each business.” That is the correct description of a custom quote, and it means the packages page is the floor of the bill, not the bill.
The credit is the unit of a floor’s bill
The help center is more specific than the packages page, and it is the document to read before the consultant calls. “Lead Credits allow you to download, print, or export (to your CRM) data records from any of our databases. A single lead credit is required for each record downloaded, printed, or exported. Unused lead credits carry over from month-to-month and do not expire.” And on allocation: “Salesgenie subscribers will receive a set number of credits each month. The number of credits you receive is customized based on your business needs … You can purchase additional credits at any time.”
So the monthly bill for a floor is two terms: the seat, plus the credit price multiplied by the rows exported. A row that is viewed costs nothing at the margin; a row that reaches a dialer costs one credit, every time it is exported. Three details in the same help articles matter to a homeowner floor specifically. Lead credits are one of four credit types — the others buy one-to-one emails, bulk email campaigns and vehicle-owner data — so a quote that bundles “credits” should say which kind. The built-in dialer is described as a feature of the U.S. business database, billed by the minute with unlimited plans available; a floor dialing consumers is loading exports into its own dialer, which is where the credits are spent. And rollover is real but conditional: unused credits keep for as long as the subscription is active, which under the printed term is at least twelve months.
What the seat includes for a floor, and what it does not
Everything in the packages table that carries a check mark on all three plans is included in the seat: contact information, performance tracking, a mobile app, lead management, customer profile analysis, training and support, a dedicated advisor. Behind them, the file — “over 19.5 million businesses and 255 million consumers,” with “weekly updates, including email and phone” and “300 demographic, 400 firmographic, and 8,000 intent filters.” For one person reading records and calling them, that is a great deal of product for $99.
What a floor still has to buy or do, by Salesgenie’s own pages:
- The export. Not on Basic at all; on Pro and Team, one credit per row, priced by quote. The seat is the fixed cost and the export is the variable one, and only one of them is printed.
- The registry scrub. Salesgenie’s telemarketing page says it “maintains compliance with State and Federal Do-Not-Call (DNC) lists,” and its DNC compliance page says the caller “must compare your calling lists to the registry once every 31 days.” Both are true. The flag is the vendor’s; the 31-day window is yours, and it is a cost line on every load.
- Wrong-party dials. The guarantee refunds “the portion of your list that was undeliverable, out-of-date or disconnected.” Undeliverable is an address, disconnected is a line. The failure a dialer pays for most — a live number that rings someone other than the homeowner on the row — is not one of the three words, and the row is a household record rather than a deed, so “homeowner or renter” is a select on it rather than a name on title.
- The reason for the call. The consumer selects are demographic and household — age, income, homeowner status, dwelling type. There is no permit date, roof age or system age on the row, because the file is not keyed on the parcel. A home-services opener built on the house has to come from somewhere else.
- Ten seats, not five. Team includes five licences. A ten-agent floor buying licences as printed is two Team plans at $598 a month, before credits; whether a consultant prices it that way is, again, a quote.
Twelve months, not one
The term is the line most buyers read past, because the price is printed “/ month.” The FAQ is unambiguous: the subscription lasts twelve months, renews month to month afterwards at the then-current rate, and can be cancelled only after the initial term; the card is charged on the sign-up date each month. Multiply it out at the printed prices and the commitment is $1,188 on Basic — a year of looking, no exports — $1,788 on Pro and $3,588 on Team, before the first credit. A ten-agent floor on two Team plans is committing $7,176 before it has exported a row. None of those numbers is hidden; they are the printed seat price with the printed term applied, and they belong on the same page as the $99.
Per-seat pricing does the same thing to a floor’s budget wherever it appears, and the mechanism — a fixed monthly line that multiplies with headcount while the data line multiplies with volume — is worked through on DealMachine pricing, which prices seats with monthly data credits attached. Salesgenie’s shape is the same with the credits unbundled.
From a seat to a cost per connect
The number that lets a subscription be compared with a file is cost per agent connect, and it takes three inputs: the seat allocated to the month’s rows, the credit price, and a connect rate. Write the credit price as c until the consultant fills it in.
Take a floor that exports 5,000 consumer rows a month on Pro. The seat is $149, which is about three cents a row before any credit; the row therefore costs c + $0.03 to put on the dialer. On the one file we can show dialed pass by pass — a 25,000-record homeowner file a Bay Area solar floor ran on 1–2 September 2026 — the first pass connected an agent on 5.02% of 24,879 dials, so a thousand rows dialed once produced roughly fifty agent conversations. At that rate, one first-pass connect costs about twenty rows, or 20 × (c + $0.03). Put your own connect rate in place of ours, then ask what the same connect costs on a per-record file with no seat and no term. The worksheet, with match rate and working-number rate in the denominator where they belong, is in homeowner data cost per record.
Two cautions on the comparison. A connect rate measured on a file matched to the owner on title will not transfer to a household record, because the share of connects that reach the wrong party differs, and that share is the number to demand from any vendor before believing an accuracy figure — Salesgenie’s telemarketing page says “96% accurate,” and what a phone match rate means is the script for asking what that 96% counts. And the seat’s cost per row falls as export volume rises while the credit’s does not, so a floor that exports 50,000 rows a month is, for practical purposes, buying rows at c with a $149 service charge — the seat stops mattering and the quoted number is the whole price.
When the seat is the right buy
A single rep prospecting businesses, who reads records one at a time and wants the CRM, the mobile app and the intent filters in the same window, is buying exactly what the $99 plan prices, and buying it well. A direct-mail programme on Pro or Team gets a guarantee that refunds the failure it actually has. Those cases, and the alternatives by what a floor actually needs — a compiled file with no term, an append to rows you already hold, a file built on the house — are laid out in Salesgenie alternatives; the two record types are set side by side in telemarketing lists for home services. For a dialing floor the rule is the one this page has been circling: write the credit price on the same line as the seat, apply the term, divide by connects, and compare that number and nothing else.
Connect figures are from our benchmarks page, each with its sample and month. The 5,000-row and ten-agent examples are illustrations of the arithmetic at the printed prices, not quotes from the vendor.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Salesgenie cost per month?
As publicly advertised on 20 September 2026: Basic “starting at $99 / month,” Pro at $149 a month, and Team at $299 with five user licences. Those are seat prices. The plan table marks exports as not included on Basic and “uses credits” on Pro and Team, and the credits are not priced on the page — Salesgenie’s own FAQ says pricing “varies based on a number of factors including: Package, Number of users, Credits, Available Databases,” and routes you to a consultant for a quote. So the monthly number for a floor that exports rows is $149 or $299 plus a credit bill that is quoted, not printed.
How much does a Salesgenie credit cost?
It is not published. What the help center does publish is the unit: “A single lead credit is required for each record downloaded, printed, or exported,” subscribers “receive a set number of credits each month” that is “customized based on your business needs,” unused credits roll over for as long as the subscription is active, and additional credits can be bought at any time. Ask the consultant for the price per credit at your monthly export volume and write it on the same line as the seat.
Can I cancel Salesgenie after a month?
Not under the printed terms. The FAQ says “the subscription lasts for 12 months,” renews month to month afterwards at the then-current rate, and can be cancelled “anytime after the initial subscription.” You are charged monthly on your sign-up date, so the sticker reads like a monthly plan while the commitment is a year — $1,788 on Pro and $3,588 on Team before a single credit, at the prices printed on 20 September 2026.
Does the Salesgenie Basic plan let me export leads?
No. On the packages page, the Basic column marks Exports and Email addresses as not included; only Pro and Team carry “uses credits” on those rows. Basic is unlimited in-app views for one licence — a seat for reading records, not a way to put rows into a dialer. The cheapest printed plan that can export is Pro at $149 a month, plus credits.
