# Trial lead cap

How many leads a trial workspace can hold, what counts toward the cap, and what to do when an import is refused.

During the free trial, a workspace can hold up to 250 leads. The cap lifts when the trial converts to a paid plan.

## What counts toward the trial lead cap

Every lead in the workspace counts once, whichever campaign it's in and however it arrived: CSV uploads, Find Leads, **Add Lead**, the Copilot, a connected assistant and the REST API. A lead in two campaigns counts once.

## Trial lead cap reached: what you see

A CSV upload or API request that would take the workspace over the cap is refused whole, not cut short. The message reads: "Your free trial allows up to … leads and … are already in your workspace (… remaining). Subscribe in Billing to add more."

Over the REST API, the same refusal is `403 TRIAL_LEAD_CAP_REACHED`, with the `cap`, `used` and `remaining` counts.

## Fix a refused import on the trial

- **Add fewer leads.** Upload a smaller file, or add up to the remaining number shown in the message.
- **Delete leads you won't use.** An owner or admin can open a lead and select **Delete lead**, which frees its place.
- **Wait for the trial to convert.** The cap lifts when billing starts: at the end of the trial, or earlier if the workspace reaches 200 sends or 20 Appointment Setter conversations. See [Free trial](https://docs.versionseven.ai/help/free-trial).

## Trial Lead database limit

Separately from the lead cap, Lead database use during the trial is capped at 330 credits, covering searches and found emails together. A request that would go over it is refused with the credits it needs and the credits left. See [Find leads in the Lead database](https://docs.versionseven.ai/help/find-leads-in-the-lead-database).
