# What enrichments cost

> Read the cost before you run, understand what you are charged for, and know why an estimate can differ.

Every enrichment column shows its cost before you run it, right beside the action that spends it. What you actually pay depends on what comes back.

## Read the cost before you run

A credit chip sits beside every enrichment action and column, so the price is visible before you commit. A run menu adds the estimated total for the rows it would cover.

## Know what you are charged for

You are charged only when a row actually returns an answer. A row that comes back empty costs nothing, and a failed or skipped cell never charges either.

## Spot the cheaper option

When two rows do the same job, the cheaper one carries a **Cost efficient** tag, but only when it's genuinely less expensive.

## Good to know

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Why does an estimate differ from what I'm actually charged?">
    The estimate assumes most rows answer quickly, without checking every source behind it. Charging is exact per row once the run finishes, so the real total can land under the estimate.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why does a run menu sometimes show no cost at all?">
    Free actions, like formulas, show no chip. A column running on your own connected account also shows no cost, since it never spends credits.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does the same row cost the same every time it runs?">
    Not always. An identical question answered recently can be reused for free instead of paid for again. See [Re-runs and cached results](/enrich/reruns-and-cached-results).
