Lesson 3.1.4
Choose the right mode for each check
What this costs
This is the lesson about what determines cost, so read it before scheduling anything.
Before you start
Course 2.1.
The more thorough mode of a tool costs more and is not always better. On an automated workflow that runs weekly, the mode you choose is charged on every row in every cycle for the life of the list, so it is worth choosing on purpose.
How to choose a mode
| The check | Mode | Why |
|---|---|---|
| The answer is already in the row, such as a phone country code against the address country, or an email domain against the website | Lite, 1 credit | No web search is needed. Lite reasons over the row only |
| The claim needs proof from outside the row, such as whether the website really belongs to the company | Standard, 2 credits | Lite cannot search the web at any price. Standard returns evidence and the links it used |
On a weekly refresh the difference compounds. A 500 row check costs 500 credits a cycle in lite and 1,000 in standard, every week the workflow runs.
