Data Cloud pricing — frequently asked questions
- How is Salesforce Data Cloud priced?
- Data Cloud uses a credit-based consumption model — you consume credits for data ingestion, processing, storage, segmentation, and activation. Monthly cost scales with your data volume and which capabilities you use, so estimating your workload up front is key.
- What is a Data Cloud credit?
- A credit is Data Cloud's unit of consumption. Different operations — ingestion, profile unification, queries, and activations — consume different amounts of credits. The calculator above maps your expected operations to a credit estimate.
- How much does Data Cloud cost per month?
- It depends on data volume and usage patterns rather than a fixed seat price. Enter your ingestion, storage, and activation estimates in the calculator to get a monthly cost tailored to your org.
