Every new filtrat account can collect up to 200 credits without a card. That's enough to verify up to 200 addresses, or find up to 10 emails, before you decide on a plan.
Where the 200 credits come from
| Step | Credits | When they arrive |
|---|---|---|
| Sign up | 50 | Right away |
| Confirm a work email address | 100 | When the address is confirmed |
| Add your LinkedIn profile URL | 50 | Right away |
You'll see the two bonus steps on the Welcome to filtrat.io screen the first time you open the app.
Confirm your work email (+100)
- On the welcome screen, find Confirm your business email.
- Enter the email address you use at work, for example
you@company.com, and press Verify. - If the address is on the same domain as the email you signed up with, the 100 credits are added at once.
- Otherwise, we send a confirmation link to that address. Open it to confirm, and the 100 credits are added.
A few rules apply:
- It must be a company address. Free email providers (such as personal webmail accounts) aren't accepted.
- It must be a real, working mailbox.
- Confirm within 24 hours. After that the link expires and the claim is cleared.
Until you confirm, the dashboard shows a reminder with an option to send the link again. Your confirmed work email is shown on your Profile page, marked Verified (or Pending while it waits for confirmation).
You can claim the work email bonus once per account.
Add your LinkedIn profile (+50)
- On the welcome screen, find Add your LinkedIn profile.
- Paste your profile URL. It looks like
https://linkedin.com/in/yourname. - Press the button to save it. The 50 credits are added right away.
Company pages and Sales Navigator links aren't accepted here; use your personal profile URL. Adding your profile URL is different from connecting a LinkedIn account for captures. For that, see Connect your LinkedIn account.
How the free credits are used
Free credits sit in the same balance as any credits you buy and pay for any action, at the normal prices in How credits work. Nothing is charged when a lookup comes back empty, so they go further than the numbers suggest.
- The 50 signup credits count as monthly credits. When you start a plan, its monthly credits replace them.
- The 100 and 50 bonus credits are added like pack credits, so they don't expire and stay when you start a plan.
On a free account you can use everything included in the Starter plan: verification, the email finder, LinkedIn captures, company lists, the API and MCP. AI features and signals monitoring need a paid plan; a credit pack from $25 covers AI columns and openers. See What each plan unlocks.
