Enrichment Cost Calculator Cost per Enriched Contact
Enrichment vendors charge per lookup, but you only keep matches. Enter your volume, per-lookup price, and match rate to see what you actually pay per enriched record and how much failed lookups cost you monthly.
How this check works
- 01
Total spend = lookups × price per lookup.
- 02
Successful enrichments = lookups × match rate.
- 03
True cost per enriched record = total spend ÷ successful enrichments always higher than the sticker price.
How to fix common problems
Low match rate
Match rates under 50% mean the provider's data doesn't cover your ICP. Switch providers or add a waterfall step with a second source.
Paying for misses
Waterfall enrichment only settles on hits. Moving the same volume to a waterfall typically cuts effective cost 40–60%.
Example
10,000 lookups at $0.02 with 55% match rate = $200 for 5,500 enriched records = $0.036 per record nearly double the sticker price.
FAQ
- What is a good enrichment match rate?
- 70%+ for mainstream B2B (US/UK/CA/AU). Niche industries and smaller geographies run lower; waterfalls recover much of the gap.
- Which data points cost the most to enrich?
- Verified mobile numbers and deep firmographics cost the most; work emails and company basics are cheapest.
- Should I enrich my whole CRM?
- Enrich the segments you'll act on this quarter. Bulk-enriching records you won't touch wastes budget on data that decays ~2–3% per month.
