What's Really Included in Valley's "Unlimited" Features?

Valley's "unlimited" designation applies to several critical components that would typically incur per-use charges with other platforms:

Unlimited Prospect Uploads: Import as many leads as needed from Sales Navigator, CSV files, or LinkedIn post engagement lists. No caps on list sizes or monthly upload volumes. Competitors often charge per thousand contacts or limit database access.

Unlimited Research and Enrichment: Every prospect receives 60-100 data points of research without additional charges. Traditional tools charge $0.10-0.50 per enrichment. At 1,000 prospects monthly, that's $100-500 in savings.

Unlimited AI Personalization: Generate as many message variations as needed. No token limits, API charges, or message generation caps. Each message uses 7 LLMs and 25 processing steps - typically costing $0.25-0.50 per message if purchased separately.

Unlimited Products and Campaigns: Create distinct configurations for different services, ICPs, or clients without additional fees. Agencies managing 10-15 clients save thousands versus per-campaign pricing models.

Unlimited Writing Styles: Develop multiple voices for different brands or personas. No restrictions on customization depth or iteration frequency.

Unlimited Qualification Scoring: Every prospect gets ICP fit analysis without credits or charges. This automated qualification would require hours of manual SDR time or expensive scoring tools.

The true value: At 1,000 prospects monthly with full enrichment and personalization, Valley includes $500-1,500 worth of typical per-use charges within its flat monthly fee.
