Frequently asked questions

Pricing is credit-based: one credit per email found and ten credits per phone number. The free plan includes 50 credits; Starter is $68/month billed annually (24,000 credits per year), Growth $151/month (60,000 credits per year), Pro $400/month (216,000 credits per year) and the Unlimited plan $600/month (600,000 credits per year). Enterprise is custom-priced. All plans include unlimited users.

Salesforce and HubSpot for CRM sync, Gmail for sending, Slack for notifications, and sequencers such as Outreach, Salesloft, Instantly, Smartlead, Lemlist, Apollo and Heyreach. It also exposes webhooks and an HTTP API for custom workflows and lists ChatGPT and Claude integrations for AI enrichment.
Is there a free trial or free plan?
Yes. There is a free plan with 50 credits and no billing, and the Starter, Growth and Pro plans each offer a free trial. Credit rollover is listed as a plan feature from Starter upward, and unused credits can be preserved by upgrading.
What AI capabilities are included?
Persana markets AI research agents that analyze company websites and news, AI-generated personalized email copy, lead scoring to rank prospects, and Autopilot AI agents on higher tiers. AI research and messaging are consumed through Persana credits rather than sold as a separate AI add-on.
How fast can a team go live?
Persana is self-serve: there is no implementation fee and no stated onboarding requirement. Getting-started templates, popular playbooks and the free tier let a team build a first list within days, and customer stories describe compressing two to three weeks of manual list building into minutes.
Does Persana publish security certifications?
The public site includes a privacy policy and GDPR statement but no security or trust page, and no SOC 2, ISO 27001 or FedRAMP claim appears on the pages reviewed. Buyers in regulated industries should request current security documentation during procurement.
