no free mode has a hard cap on lookup credits you can't purchase additional credits while on the plan if you need more lookup credits, you'll need to upgrade to a paid plan how many outreach campaigns can you run? unlimited you can create outreach sequences with as many email steps as you need the limitation is on the sourcing capacity, not on reaching out to the candidates you've already sourced example you could source 5 candidates in week one, then spend weeks two and three sending them a 5 email nurture sequence once sunday rolls around, you get your 5 new sourcing credits back and can source another batch pro tip free mode is perfect for testing whether pin fits your hiring process use your sourcing credits strategically by focusing on one or two roles first to see if the quality of candidates justifies upgrading many recruiters find that even a few high quality sourced candidates are worth the investment when lookup credits reset your sourcing credits refresh on sunday at midnight (based on your account's timezone) this means you can source up to 5 new candidates every week once you hit 5 in a given week, you're at capacity until the following sunday plan ahead if you know you need to source heavily mid week, don't blow through all your credits on monday when you'll hit a paywall free mode is generous, but there are a few actions that will trigger a paywall, meaning you'll need to upgrade to continue 1\ connecting your ats you cannot connect to an ats (like greenhouse, workday, lever, etc ) in free mode if you try, you'll be prompted to upgrade 2\ exceeding your sourcing limits once you've sourced 5 candidates in a given week (or 20 in a month), further sourcing attempts will hit a paywall asking you to upgrade 3\ advanced features trying to use ai agent, connect your linkedin account, or running phone number lookups will also prompt an upgrade support while in free mode we want you to succeed, even on free mode here's what support looks like what you get access to our help center and documentation support via pylon (our help desk system) for technical issues what you don't get dedicated onboarding calls and webinars a dedicated customer success manager (csm) free mode support is self serve and limited to technical support, which keeps the plan genuinely free if you need hands on guidance or want an onboarding call, this comes with our paid plans who can sign up for free mode?
