Pay for what your agents use.
Everything is paid and metered in credits — buy a pack, and each API or MCP call debits credits by how much work it does. Bigger packs cost less per credit. Self-serve through Stripe, no sales calls.
One-time purchases · credits don't reset monthly · top up or auto-recharge anytime
Free credits — verified companies only
Verified companies get 100 credits to evaluate Clous against real data — granted after company domain, LinkedIn, website, and phone verification. Rate-limited and non-recurring — once spent, buy a pack to keep going. No card required to start.
Credit cost per endpoint.
Each endpoint debits a fixed number of credits — heavier work costs more. The exact cost is shown on every call in the dashboard and returned in response headers.

|---|---|---|
| resolve_identifier | 2 | ID → canonical entity |
| get_entity | 2 | Full resolved entity record |

| search_form_d | 5 | Typed search over private placements |

How billing works
- Paid-only — no standing free tier, so we never run unpaid compute.
- Usage-metered — each call debits credits by endpoint weight.
- Volume discounts — bigger packs are cheaper per credit.
- Hard stop at zero — calls return 402 Payment Required, never a surprise bill.
Optional monthly plans
Prefer a predictable bill? Monthly plans bundle a recurring credit allotment plus discounted overage — ideal for steady production spend. Credits roll into the same ledger and follow the same per-endpoint costs.
Enterprise
Custom credit volumes, the cross-source entity graph and full resolved profiles, bulk dataset exports, redistribution licensing, and procurement-friendly terms.
Best-effort data with no SLA. All data is derived from public SEC EDGAR filings; Clous is independent of the SEC. Prices and credit weights are introductory and may change.
