SalesQL: cost, fit and limits
SalesQL is a LinkedIn email finder and contact enrichment tool made by SALESQL LTD that returns work and direct emails from a Chrome extension, CSV enrichment and a REST API, with a free plan and an MCP server for AI assistants, for prospectors and small sales teams.
What to know first
SalesQL has four plans. Free costs $0 with 50 credits a month and 100 verifier credits. Basic is $39 monthly or $29.25 per month billed as $351 a year for 2,000 credits, with phone numbers, unlimited exports, Zapier and an MCP server. Professional ($79) and Premium ($119) add seats, the REST API and larger CSV enrichment. The homepage says SalesQL works inside Claude on every plan.

What SalesQL does
- LinkedIn extension
- A Chrome extension adds a work email and a direct email to a LinkedIn profile, so single prospects need no spreadsheet or separate lookup step.
- CSV enrichment
- Row caps per file rise from 1,000 on Basic to 5,000 on Professional and 50,000 on Premium, and the Free plan has no CSV enrichment at all.
- Campaign recipients
- Basic allows 2,000 recipients a month, Professional 10,000 and Premium 50,000, which sets how large an outbound list can run through the built-in sending tools.
- MCP server
- Paid plans include an MCP server for outside assistants, while Free gets limited MCP access, which links lookups to Claude-style tools without a manual export.
- Verifier credits
- A separate verifier pool of 5,000, 10,000 or 20,000 monthly credits on paid plans rechecks addresses without touching the lookup balance of the account. Verifier use does not reduce the lookup credits.
How SalesQL handles your data
The privacy notice says mailbox data is not used to train or improve generalised AI or ML models, and the LLM provider behind the integration must not train on data routed through it. The same notice lists internal model training for entity resolution, email pattern detection and quality assessment. Visitor data is kept up to 14 months, and inactive free accounts are deleted after up to 12 months plus a 30-day notice. Hosting region and certifications were not stated.
Where SalesQL falls short in practice
- Free plan is a test only. The Free plan has no exports, no CSV enrichment, no REST API and no phone numbers, and its MCP access is limited, so tests stay manual.
- API limits marked pending. The REST API on Professional and Premium is capped at 1,500 calls per day on monthly billing and 5,000 on annual, and the page flags these as pending validation.
- Seat add-ons unpriced. Extra seats beyond the plan's count are sold as an add-on, and the pricing page lists no price for them, so team growth is hard to budget.

Alternatives to SalesQL
SalesQL: common questions
Is SalesQL free to use?
Yes, up to a point. The Free plan gives 50 credits a month, 100 verifier credits and 100 campaign recipients for one seat. It has no exports, CSV enrichment, REST API or phone numbers, so serious use needs Basic at $39 per month.
Does SalesQL train AI models on my data?
The privacy notice says mailbox data is not used to train generalised AI or ML models and the LLM provider must not train on routed data. It also lists internal model training for entity resolution, email pattern detection and quality assessment.
Which SalesQL plan includes the REST API?
The REST API appears on Professional at $79 per month and Premium at $119. The page gives daily caps of 1,500 calls on monthly billing and 5,000 on annual billing, marked pending final validation. Free and Basic plans do not list REST API access, so integrations there rely on Zapier or CSV.
Can SalesQL be used from Claude?
Yes. The homepage says SalesQL works inside Claude on every plan, including Free, and paid plans include an MCP server. Free has limited MCP access, so heavier assistant-driven prospecting needs a paid tier. The vendor says the Claude connection works without a paid tier, though limits apply.
How large can a CSV enrichment file be on SalesQL?
Up to 1,000 rows per file on Basic, 5,000 on Professional and 50,000 on Premium. The Free plan has no CSV enrichment, and credits still apply to each enriched row, per the pricing page. Premium is the only tier that reaches the 50,000 row ceiling.
