# How many records fit in one list?

Last updated: 2026-10-17

One list holds at most **50,000 records**, on every plan. This is separate
from your plan's record limit, which is a total over all your lists (see
"[Record limit](https://listplus.ai/en/help/plans-credits-billing/record-limit)"): on Pro or Premium you can hold far more than 50,000
records, spread over several lists.

## Where the ceiling shows

- **Importing a file:** a larger file is cut to its first 50,000 rows. The
  preview warns "Importing X of Y rows – one list holds at most 50,000
  records." with the hint "Import the remaining rows into a second list."
- **Importing from a connected tool** (HubSpot, Google Sheets …): at most
  50,000 records are brought into the list.
- **Adding rows** to a full list is refused with "A list holds at most
  50,000 records – start a new list for more."
- **Merging lists** into one that would be larger is refused with "One list
  holds at most 50,000 records – the merged list would have N." Nothing is
  changed.
- **Automatic refresh:** when the source has more new records than fit, the
  refresh changes nothing and says "The source has more new records than
  fit – one list holds at most 50,000 records. Nothing was changed."

To work with more contacts, split them over several lists, for example by
country, segment or source.

## FAQ

### How many records can one list hold?

One list holds at most 50,000 records on every plan, however high your plan's total record limit is. The plan limit (Pro 100,000, Premium 1,000,000) is a separate total across all your lists, so large totals mean several lists.

### Why were only 50,000 rows of my file imported?

One list holds at most 50,000 records, so the wizard imports the first 50,000 rows and warns "Importing X of Y rows – one list holds at most 50,000 records." Create a second list from the remaining rows, as the hint under the warning says.

### Why can't I add rows to this list ("A list holds at most 50,000 records")?

The list has reached the per-list ceiling of 50,000 records, which applies on every plan. Start a new list for more rows; deleting rows in this list makes room again.

### Why does merging two lists say the merged list would be too large?

Because one list holds at most 50,000 records and the merged result would have more. The message reads "One list holds at most 50,000 records – the merged list would have N." and nothing is changed; merge fewer records or keep two lists.

### Why did my automatic refresh say "more new records than fit"?

The source has more new records than one list can take, so the refresh stops with "The source has more new records than fit – one list holds at most 50,000 records. Nothing was changed." Narrow what the source delivers or import the surplus into a second list.

### How do I work with more than 50,000 contacts?

Split them over several lists: each list holds at most 50,000 records, and your plan's total (Pro 100,000, Premium 1,000,000) counts across all of them. Import the remaining rows into a second list when the wizard offers it.

### Does an import from HubSpot or Google Sheets stop at 50,000 records?

Yes. An import from a connected tool brings at most 50,000 records into one list, on every plan. Narrow the import with the source's filters, or import the rest into a second list.
