2026-03-24: Business Coder Credit Changes#

Credit Changes#

This is an important announcement for all current credit users of our Business Coder Cloud API regarding upcoming changes to the credit usage structure.

Effective April 2026:

  • The current charge of 5 credits per call to Business Coder will be adjusted to 15 credits per call.

  • Appending business contacts will now incur an additional charge of 10 credits per business contact returned.

These changes are the result of recent updates from our business data provider. Due to adjustments in their data sourcing and pricing structure, we must apply corresponding changes to our credit usage model to continue delivering accurate and up-to-date business information.

Will I Be Affected?#

All customers currently using credits for the Business Coder Web Service will be affected by this change. Any calls made and any appended business contacts returned after the effective date will be subject to the updated credit usage outlined above.

Are There Any Code Changes Needed?#

No. There are no code changes required. The Business Coder Cloud API functionality and endpoints will remain the same. The only change will be the number of credits deducted from your account per call and per appended business contact, as outlined above. We are providing this notice in advance to allow time for planning and any necessary adjustments to usage.
