Is 500 Credits or $4.99 Normal for Running My Company Data Agent?

Daniela V. · 2026-01-27T06:05:45.807Z

Hi everyone I built an agent that gathers information, company updates based on a criteria. At a time 5-6 companies may go through as qualified and then it adds them to a spreadsheet. It’s currently costing me around 500 credits to run $4.99 for 6 companies that it found. Is this normal? Or expensive…. sounds like it’s using way too many credits

Daniela V. can you share your template or just a screenshot of your workflow ? so we can understand the architecture and tell the best way to do it

The expense to me is based on the fully cycle of Cost Per Acquisition. If it costs $500 to process 600 leads and you end up make $15,000...

IITAIN K. Arvell C. here is the workflow I’ve made a few changes slightlyt still takes around 500 - 1000 Lindy Credits to run 6 leads … I worked that to be around $9.99 USD per run… does that sounds right?

Wow. Yeah, that number of credits for the workflow seems high. You should be able to break down the price per section to isolate where the most expensive part is. Are you able to do that?

Arvell C. I will run a new test and try to find the breakdown very odd. Spent 7k credits in total wild.

One other thing - Alon J. - is super helpful at both assisting with optimization (and he may be able to throw you back some credits) 😉

Hey Alon J. wondering if you have any feedback on the above. My agent gathers information, company updates based on a criteria. At a time 5-6 companies may go through as qualified and then it adds them to a spreadsheet. It’s currently costing me around 500 - 1000 credits to run. Does this sound right? I have sent through a support request to look into the 7k credit burn as well. Keen to get some insights on what is considered normal credit spend for an agent like mine that is quite lite in terms of complexity.

here’s the task run https://chat.lindy.ai/share/drilling-programs-in-australia-697a952c9313aaf98a96b57b credits was less as it didn’t meet the criteria to upload to spreadsheet. Any feedback would be appreciated it.

Hey Daniela! Do you by chance have an example where it did meet the criteria?
Daniela V.

Not really, waiting to hear back from support as to how there was a 7k credit usage
