Website visitor identification pricing runs from free tiers with a few hundred records to enterprise contracts in the tens of thousands a year. This guide explains how pricing works, what an identified visitor typically costs, and what to compare beyond the sticker price.
Key Takeaways
- Most tools price by the number of identified visitors (often called resolutions or credits) per month.
- Self-serve tools typically land around $0.14 to $0.26 per identified visitor, with the price per record falling as volume rises.
- Person-level identification costs more than company-level identification and is what businesses selling to individuals need.
- Compare what happens after identification, not just the cost per record.
How visitor identification is priced
Most providers use one of these models:
- Per identified visitor. You buy a monthly allowance of resolutions, and overages cost extra. This is the most common model.
- Tiered by traffic or volume. Plans step up by the number of visitors or records you can identify each month.
- Flat fee with caps. One monthly price with a usage ceiling.
- Platform fee plus usage. A base subscription for the software, plus charges for data or enrichment.
Read the fine print on what counts as a resolution. Some tools charge only for person-level matches with contact details; others count company-level sightings too.
What visitor identification costs in 2026
Published and reported pricing gives a sense of the market as of late 2026:
| Tool and plan | Monthly price | Identified visitors included | Approx. cost per visitor |
|---|---|---|---|
| RB2B Starter | $79 | 300 | ~$0.26 |
| RB2B Pro | $149 | 600 | ~$0.25 |
| RB2B Pro (higher tier) | $349 | 2,500 | ~$0.14 |
| Customers.ai Starter (reported) | ~$600 | 3,000 | ~$0.20 |
| Customers.ai Scale (reported) | ~$1,500 | 10,000 | ~$0.15 |
RB2B figures come from its published plans as summarized in third-party reviews; Customers.ai figures are third-party estimates. Retention.com is reported to start around $500 a month at roughly $0.25 per identified email. Pricing changes often, so check current plans before you buy.
Free trials are common, and many cap usage at around 500 identified visitors or seven days, whichever comes first.
What drives the price
- Person-level vs. company-level. Identifying the individual costs more than identifying their employer.
- Data fields. Verified emails and phone numbers cost more than a name and company.
- Volume. Price per record usually drops as your monthly allowance grows.
- Intent data. Third-party intent audiences are usually priced separately, by audience size and refresh frequency.
- Delivery and integrations. CRM sync, ad-audience exports and automation can sit in higher tiers.
- Service. Self-serve software is cheaper than a managed service that sets it up and runs the follow-up.
The cost that matters: cost per customer
A cheap record that never turns into a conversation is expensive. Work backward from your numbers:
- Estimate how many visitors a month are likely to be identified on your site.
- Estimate what share of those you can turn into a conversation, and what share of conversations become customers.
- Multiply by the value of a customer.
For a business where one customer is worth thousands of dollars, a handful of extra jobs a month can cover a visitor identification plan many times over. For a business with small tickets and low traffic, the math may not work. A trial on your own site is the fastest way to find out.
