Autobound Credit Burn Rate

Autobound sells one-time credit packs ($19 for 2,000 credits up to $4,999 at the top tier), and zero-result requests cost nothing. That single rule should drive how an agency scopes client work. A narrow ICP with tight signal filters burns credits slowly; a broad query with loose filters burns them on every match. Model each retainer as credits consumed per delivered contact, not seats or hours. Example: a client needing 200 intent-scored contacts a month against three signal types may consume a few thousand credits, which fits inside the $49 Growth pack (5,444 credits) with room for re-runs. Because credits never expire, an agency can buy ahead of demand and carry unused balance across clients, but must still allocate consumption per account so one noisy client does not drain the pool. Price the retainer against worst-case burn, not average.
