Instantly credits at 5 per reply and Credits plan sizes from instantly.ai/pricing, read 11 November 2026. Instantly credits are shared with lead exports and enrichment, so real headroom is lower. Your Instantly Outreach plan is billed on top in both cases.
At low volume the two cost about the same. As replies grow, Revbound's flat allowance stays cheaper, and it does not draw down the credits you need for leads.
