How Many Tokens Do You Need Per Month?

The honest answer: almost certainly a lot less than you think.


The Short Answer: Don't Worry About It

Most people massively overestimate what they'll spend on tokens. The reality is that tokens are cheap, and the vast majority of workspaces stay comfortably within — or barely past — the free allocation.
Every Breakcold plan includes 1,500 tokens. For most single-workspace users, that's already plenty.


Brutal Clarity: A Real Heavy User

Forget theoretical simulations. Here's a real customer:

  • 10+ workspaces
  • Multiple accounts managed at once
  • 1,000+ leads per workspace

This is about as heavy as usage gets. Their maximum extra token spend is around $200/month.
So do the math on yourself honestly: if the heaviest user we have — running ten-plus workspaces and thousands of leads — tops out near $200, then you, with a single workspace, are very unlikely to spend anything close to that. For most people the extra token cost is a few dollars, or nothing at all.


Important — Only active contacts consume tokens. The contacts simply sitting in your CRM cost nothing. If you have 10,000 contacts but only interact with 300 in a given month, you only ever pay for those 300.


Why Tokens Are So Cheap

The individual actions barely cost anything:

  • Enriching an email? 10 tokens. A phone number? 80 tokens. LinkedIn search? 10 tokens.
  • Person and Company metadata enrichment (70+ data points)? Free — 0 tokens. AI summaries? FREE
  • AI features like filter generation, rewrites, and record summaries? Fractions of a token — and AI Record Summary is free.

See the full breakdown in "What are Tokens Used For?". The takeaway: you would have to try very hard to run up a big bill.


Now Compare That to Anyone Else

Go find a sales CRM with this level of quality — AI-native enrichment, meeting recording, automation, a full API and MCP — at this price. You won't.
And here's the part that really matters: we don't double your pricing for every seat you add. Most CRMs charge you per seat, so your bill balloons the moment your team grows. Breakcold doesn't work like that. You add what you actually need — accounts, seats, workspaces — at a flat, transparent rate, and your token allowance keeps working the same way.


Key Takeaways

  • 1,500 free tokens every plan — most single-workspace users barely dip past it
  • Only active contacts count — stored contacts cost nothing
  • The heaviest real user caps out around $200/month — with 10+ workspaces and thousands of leads. You will almost certainly spend far less.
  • No per-seat price doubling — your bill doesn't explode when your team grows
  • Unbeatable at this quality-to-price ratio — try to find a comparable sales CRM for the money. You can't.


Frequently Asked Questions

How many free tokens are included?
Every Breakcold plan includes 1,500 tokens per month at no extra cost.
What counts as an "active contact"?
An active contact is one the CRM actively interacts with using AI features (enrichment, summaries, automation, etc.) during the month. Contacts simply stored in your CRM do not consume tokens.
Seriously, how much will I actually spend?
Most single-workspace users spend little to nothing beyond the free allocation. Even our heaviest customer — 10+ workspaces, multiple accounts, 1,000+ leads per workspace — caps out around $200/month. Your usage is almost certainly far lighter.
Do you charge more per seat?
We don't double your pricing per seat the way traditional CRMs do. You add accounts, seats, and workspaces at a flat, transparent rate.
Can I see exactly how many tokens I'm using?
Yes. Breakcold logs every token transaction in real time under Settings → Billing → Usage History, so you always know where your tokens go.
What happens if I run out of tokens?
You can top up at any time, and pricing is fully transparent. You can also enable Auto Top-Up so your workflows never stop unexpectedly.
