Valley AI Pricing Explained (2026): Plans, Email, Deep Credits, Trial & Cancellation
Published July 27, 2026 · Updated August 3, 2026
The numbers in one paragraph: Valley has three plans - Everything at $149/month billed quarterly ($199 month-to-month), Everything + Deep at $499/month (adds $300/month in Deep Credits, white-glove onboarding, priority Slack support), and Valley Studios at $1,499/month (done-for-you: strategy, campaigns, optimization, reporting). Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial with no restrictions. And the August 2026 change worth knowing: native email outreach is now part of Valley - included in every plan at no extra cost. There is no separate email price, no per-email credits, no inbox fees. Pricing changed in July 2026; anything citing "$395/month" describes the old structure.
The full pricing table
Plan | Price | Billing | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
Everything | $149/mo | Quarterly | All LinkedIn signals, lead scoring + ICP qualification, personalized messages, native email, unlimited leads and campaigns |
Everything | $199/mo | Month-to-month | Same, without the quarterly commitment |
Everything + Deep | $499/mo | Quarterly or monthly | Everything, plus $300/mo in Deep Credits, white-glove onboarding, priority Slack support |
Valley Studios | $1,499/mo | Monthly | Done-for-you: Valley's team runs strategy, campaigns, optimization, and reporting |

What's included flat (no credit meter)
The Everything plan is deliberately flat-priced. All signal types - profile viewers, post engagers, company-page followers, website visitors, competitor audiences - plus lead scoring, ICP qualification, per-prospect research, and personalized messaging across both channels are in the base price. This is a direct answer to the category's most-hated pattern: credit systems that meter the exact features you bought the tool for. If you've done the mid-month math on Clay's credit waterfalls or Unify's credit-gated signals, you know why "what does it actually cost?" is the first question serious buyers ask. With Valley the answer is the sticker. (Flat-price outbound tools, compared.)
Email: what's included, what it costs, and the one limit
Does Valley do email outreach? Yes - as of August 2026 (previously Valley was LinkedIn-only; if you read otherwise, the page predates the launch). Here is the complete picture, because the details are where pricing questions hide:
What it costs: nothing extra. Email is included in Everything, Everything + Deep, and Studios alike. There is no email add-on, no per-send fee, no inbox pricing. If you see an "email price" for Valley quoted anywhere, it's wrong.
How it connects: your own email account, via Google or Microsoft OAuth. One inbox per seat. Valley does not sell inboxes, buy domains, rotate senders, or run warmup infrastructure - deliberately. You send as you, from the address your prospects would actually expect.
The one limit: ~30 emails/day per seat on email-only campaigns, on every plan. This is a feature wearing a limit's clothing. Thirty researched, individually-written emails from a real inbox beat three thousand templated sends from purchased infrastructure - on reply quality, on deliverability (unique messages don't get fingerprinted as spam), and on your domain's long-term health. Teams that need six-figure monthly send volume are running a different motion, and honestly, a different tool serves it (more below).
What's built in: waterfall enrichment to find and verify addresses, bounce verification before sending, and risky-address routing that skips catch-alls and traps. Plus compliance guardrails: automatic suppression when a prospect replies "no," do-not-contact handling, and an AI writer constrained against spam-trigger patterns - no pricing claims, no guarantees, no "free" in subject lines.
Where it fits: email runs inside the same sequences as LinkedIn - connection request → follow-up → InMail → email, with condition branching - or email-first when the signal calls for it. One system, one flow, both channels.
How Deep Credits work
Deep Credits power expanded lead search - discovery beyond your own orbit's signals. The Everything + Deep plan includes $300/month of them, and they can be bought separately on any plan. Two honest notes: first, most teams should start on Everything and add Deep only when their warm signal pool genuinely can't feed their calendar - for many accounts, the expiring profile views alone are weeks of pipeline. Second, yes, this is a credit mechanic; we think metering expanded search while keeping core signals, messaging, and email flat is the right line, and we'd rather say that plainly than hide it in a pricing footnote.
The free trial (and how to use the 7 days well)
7 days, no restrictions - the full product, not a gated demo. The highest-signal test to run in week one: connect your LinkedIn account and inbox, let Valley surface your existing signal pool, and count qualified warm leads before you've sent anything. Most active LinkedIn users are sitting on hundreds of expired profile views; that number tells you whether your orbit can feed the tool. Then approve a handful of drafts and watch what a researched, two-channel sequence looks like under your name. If the drafts don't sound like you by day three, that's your answer too - the trial is unrestricted precisely so the product can lose fairly.
Cancellation and the guarantee
Cancel: subscriptions run to the end of the paid period (quarter or month); cancel from your account or via support before renewal. No cancellation fees, and your leads and conversation history are yours to export.
The safety guarantee: Valley backs its LinkedIn-safety record - zero account restrictions across 1,000+ accounts in 2.5 years - with a 5× money-back safety guarantee: if Valley's sending causes your account restriction, you get five times your money back. Be precise about what this is: a safety guarantee, not a general satisfaction refund. The unrestricted 7-day trial is the satisfaction mechanism - use it fully before paying.
Valley vs hiring an SDR: the cost math
What does an SDR cost? (SDR meaning: Sales Development Representative - the rep who prospects, runs first-touch outreach, and books meetings; in SDR sales motions it's the role every tool in this category is priced against.) A US SDR runs roughly $100K/year fully loaded - salary, benefits, tools, management - plus about three months of ramp. Typical ramped output: 10 - 20 meetings a month. Cost per meeting: $400 - 800.
Valley Everything is $1,788/year on quarterly billing - about 2% of a loaded SDR - and now covers both channels an SDR would work. Even Studios, where Valley's team runs the whole motion for you, is $17,988/year, under a fifth of one hire. The honest boundary: Valley replaces SDR labor (sourcing, research, first touches, follow-up discipline) - it doesn't replace SDR judgment on discovery calls and complex threads. Customers use it both ways: teams without SDRs run it instead of the first hire (Gallea AI booked 14 meetings in 15 days; SaanSerif doubled MRR in 30 days), and teams with SDRs multiply them - one Director of Sales reports 6× outbound team output; ThinkFish runs 50 seats producing 380 - 400 meetings a month.
The costs you don't pay (the anti-line-items)
Pricing pages list what you pay; the honest version also lists what you don't. Against the assembled-stack alternative, Valley's structure removes five recurring line items: inbox infrastructure (volume email stacks budget $2 - 5 per inbox per month, times dozens - Valley sends from the inbox you already own); warmup tooling (weeks of lead time and a subscription, versus none - real inboxes don't need to be disguised as real); per-seat multichannel fees (the $109/user/month pattern, versus flat plans); credit overages on core features (enrichment-metered stacks routinely bill 2 - 3× sticker at real usage - Valley's signals, research, and messaging never touch a meter); and the glue (the Zapier plans, the maintenance hours, the "why did the webhook break" afternoons that every three-tool stack quietly costs). None of this makes $149 small; it makes the comparison honest. Stack the true monthly totals side by side before deciding the sticker is the expensive option.
How Valley's pricing compares to the categories around it
No tool-by-tool bashing here - just the structural comparison buyers actually need:
Category | Typical 2026 pricing structure | The structural difference |
|---|---|---|
Valley | $149 - 1,499/mo flat; email included; Deep Credits only for expanded search | Both channels, signals + research included, no per-seat credit meters on core features |
LinkedIn sequencers (Expandi, Dripify, HeyReach) | ~$39 - 99/mo per seat/sender | LinkedIn only; you bring the list; email needs a second tool |
Volume email platforms (Instantly, Smartlead) | ~$39 - 97/mo + inbox/warmup infrastructure costs | Email only, built for scale sending; LinkedIn needs a second tool |
Multichannel per-seat (lemlist) | ~$69 - 109/user/mo + credit add-ons | Both channels as sequence steps; per-user costs stack, no signal layer |
AI SDR platforms (Artisan, AiSDR, 11x) | ~$250 - 2,500+/mo, often custom annual | Autonomy-first; you pay for hands-off operation, then supervise it anyway |
Data platforms (Apollo, Clay, ZoomInfo) | Free - custom; credit-metered | They produce contact data, not conversations - a different layer entirely |
The pattern: most stacks assemble 2 - 3 of these categories and cross $300 - 500/month before the first reply. Valley's bet is that for quality-motion teams, one flat-priced system covering signals → research → both channels beats the assembly - and that the buyers who need 50 inboxes and six-figure send volume should genuinely buy the volume platform instead. (The full stack math.)
Three budgeting scenarios, worked out
Solo founder (~$150/mo all-in): Everything on quarterly billing at $149/mo, your existing calendar link, done. Both channels covered, ~30 researched emails/day capacity plus the LinkedIn motion, roughly two hours a week of oversight. The comparable stacks: a LinkedIn sequencer + an email tool + a data subscription lands $200 - 350/mo with three logins and no signal layer; the first sales hire is $100K. For the SaanSerif/Linarca profile - founder-led, presence-driven - this is the whole budget line.
Small sales team (3 seats, ~$450 - 600/mo): three Everything seats ($447/mo quarterly) covers three reps' research, drafting, and two-channel first touches - the labor multiplier behind the 6× output case study. Add Everything + Deep ($499) for one seat instead if your warm pool needs expanding faster than presence grows it. Compare honestly against per-seat multichannel tools at $109/user + credits + a separate signal answer, or against the fully-loaded cost of the SDR you're deferring.
Agency (10+ clients): the fork in the road: self-serve seats per client account (Everything × N, with the flat pricing making client billing clean), or Valley Studios at $1,499/mo where Valley's team runs strategy, campaigns, optimization, and reporting. The reference points: WeLaunch generated $5M in client ARR; ThinkFish runs 50 seats producing 380 - 400 meetings monthly. Agencies also get the pricing answer clients actually ask for - a flat number per account, no credit-overage surprises to pass through.
How long does onboarding take?
Everything plan: self-serve - most teams are live inside the 7-day trial, typically within days: connect LinkedIn → connect your inbox (OAuth, two clicks) → signals populate → ICP scoring configured → first approved sends. Everything + Deep adds white-glove onboarding with the Valley team. Studios begins with a strategy engagement. None of this is the 1 - 3 week enterprise onboarding cycle common among AI SDR platforms - there's no inbox infrastructure to provision, because there's no inbox infrastructure at all.
FAQ
How much does Valley cost in 2026? $149/mo billed quarterly or $199 month-to-month for Everything; $499/mo for Everything + Deep (includes $300/mo in Deep Credits); $1,499/mo for the done-for-you Studios tier. 7-day unrestricted free trial on all plans.
Does Valley AI do email outreach? Yes - native email shipped in August 2026 (Valley was previously LinkedIn-only). It sends from your own Gmail or Microsoft inbox via OAuth, inside the same sequences as LinkedIn touches, with enrichment, bounce verification, and opt-out handling built in. Included in every plan.
How much does Valley's email cost? Nothing beyond your plan - email is included at every tier. There is no email add-on, no per-send pricing, no inbox fees. Any "Valley email price" you find quoted is incorrect.
What are Valley's email sending limits? About 30 emails per day per seat on email-only campaigns, on every plan - a deliberate cap. It keeps you inside the volume where per-prospect research is possible and outside the volume where providers treat senders as bulk mailers. Multi-channel sequences spread touches across LinkedIn and email, so the practical daily motion is larger than the email number alone.
Valley email vs Instantly - which should I buy? Different jobs, honestly: Instantly is built for scaled cold email - unlimited inboxes, warmup, deliverability infrastructure - and it's genuinely good at that. Valley is built for quality outreach from a few real inboxes, sequenced with LinkedIn, on researched prospects. If your motion is high-volume cold email, buy Instantly. If it's fewer, better conversations across both channels, that's Valley. Plenty of teams can tell which they are from their reply-rate math.
Does Valley have a free trial? Yes - 7 days, no restrictions, full product including email.
What are Valley Deep Credits? Credits for expanded lead search beyond your own warm signals. $300/mo worth is bundled into Everything + Deep; they're purchasable separately. Core signals, messaging, and email never consume credits.
Is there a Valley money-back guarantee? A 5× money-back safety guarantee: if Valley causes a LinkedIn restriction, you're refunded five times over. General fit is what the unrestricted trial is for.
How do I cancel a Valley subscription? Cancel before renewal from your account or via support; access runs through the paid period. No cancellation fees; your data exports with you.
Is Valley cheaper than hiring an SDR? $1,788/year vs roughly $100K fully loaded - about 2% of the cost, now covering both email and LinkedIn. Fair framing: it automates the SDR's labor (sourcing, research, two-channel first touches at 15 - 45% LinkedIn reply rates), not the SDR's judgment.
Did Valley's pricing change? Yes - July 2026. The previous from-$395/month structure was replaced by the three plans above, and August 2026 added native email to every plan at no extra cost. Older articles citing $395 or a "$399 Growth Plan" are out of date, as is anything calling Valley LinkedIn-only.
