The Daily Budget Slider

The daily budget slider controls how many credits discovery is allowed to spend each day. It is your single dial for pace and cost. You find it on the Settings then Discovery page, in the Daily budget card.

How budget turns into leads

Each new lead costs 5 credits, including enrichment, company qualification, and scoring, so:

leads per day  ≈  daily budget  ÷  5

The card shows the live estimate as you drag, for example "~10 leads". A higher budget means more leads per day and faster credit burn. A lower budget stretches your credits over more days.

The default for your plan

If you never touch the slider, discovery uses your plan's default daily budget:

Plan	Default daily budget	Leads per day
Grandfathered Free workspaces only	100 credits	about 20
Lite	30 credits	about 6
Starter	80 credits	about 16
Growth	165 credits	about 33
Scale	665 credits	about 133

A Reset to default button appears whenever you have set a custom value.

How high you can go

• On a grandfathered Free workspace, the slider goes from 0 up to the default. This protects the one-time credit pool from being spent in a single day.
• On paid plans and their trials, the slider goes up to your full available balance. Set it high when you want more leads sooner, lower when you want them spread out.

The card also shows a runway estimate, for example "Your 4,000 credits last about 25 days at this rate", so you can see the trade-off before you save.

Budget is shared across active sources

Your daily budget is shared by every active source. A new lead costs 5 credits, so when the budget covers 5 credits for each source, every source runs daily. When it doesn't, your sources take turns: as many as the budget covers run each day, starting with the ones that have waited longest. With 25 credits and six sources, five run each day and each source runs about 5 days out of 6. The budget card shows this as you type, for example "Covers 5 of 6 sources per day". When your balance can't cover a new lead plus the small reserve Signado keeps, discovery pauses and starts again on its own after a top-up or your monthly refill. See set up Discovery Sources.

Set it to 0 to pause

Sliding the budget to 0 stops all discovery for your workspace. Signado asks you to confirm, then no further credits are spent until you raise it again. This is the quickest way to pause everything at once. See pause and resume.
