Salesforce Cost Tuning

Overview

Optimize Salesforce costs by reducing API call consumption, choosing the right edition, and monitoring API usage budgets. Salesforce charges per-user licenses (not per-API-call), but API limits are tied to edition + license count.

Prerequisites

• Access to Salesforce Setup > Company Information
• Understanding of current API usage patterns
• Access to contract/license details

Instructions

Step 1: Understand Salesforce Pricing Model

Edition	Per-User/Month	API Calls/Day (Base)	Per-User API Calls
Developer	Free	15,000	N/A (1 user)
Essentials	~$25	15,000	+1,000/user
Professional	~$80	15,000	+1,000/user
Enterprise	~$165	100,000	+1,000/user
Unlimited	~$330	100,000	+5,000/user
API Add-on Pack	Varies	+200K-10M/day	Per org

Key insight: API calls are per-org, not per-user. A 50-user Enterprise org gets 100,000 + (50 * 1,000) = 150,000 daily API calls. All integrations share this pool.

Step 2: Monitor Current Usage

const conn = await getConnection();
const limits = await conn.request('/services/data/v59.0/limits/');

const apiUsage = {
  daily: {
    used: limits.DailyApiRequests.Max - limits.DailyApiRequests.Remaining,
    remaining: limits.DailyApiRequests.Remaining,
    max: limits.DailyApiRequests.,
    : ((limits.. - limits..) / limits.. * ).(),
  },
  : {
    : limits.,
    : limits.,
  },
  : {
    : ,
    : ,
  },
};

.(, .(apiUsage, , ));
