Research notes on Smartlead's pricing page

Four plans billed per workspace; the page renders a Monthly and a Yearly toggle ('17% OFF'), so price_monthly is the monthly figure and price_annual_per_month the yearly figure. 'Contacts' on the plan cards are Smartlead's active leads (contacts uploaded into campaigns; the help-center article says the count does not reset monthly and a separate article says inactive/archived leads are stored free and do not count toward the limit). The 'Verified Prospect Emails' row is the SmartProspect verified-lead quota (2K/30K/50K/170K per month), an add-on at $59/month on Base and Pro and FREE on Unlimited Smart and Prime; it is not email verification. Email verification itself is a separate add-on on all plans (FAQ: 'Email verification is available as a value-added add-on across all plans'); the verification price widget shows $32.00 with '6k' selected and a One Time / Monthly (Save 17%) toggle, so whether $32 is one-time or monthly could not be determined from the text. In the plan table the Pro column prints 'Add-on @$39' and 'Add-on @$29' without readable row labels; the FAQ confirms $29/month per client workspace, and SmartServers are priced $39/Server/month, so those are the likely matches but the row mapping is not certain. Users per plan are not printed. A free trial is stated ('All plans come with a free trial and no credit card is required') but no trial length is printed. No free plan is listed. The page also prints a promotional '50% off on your first month on any plan' banner, not reflected in the stored prices.
