# 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 ```typescript 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.Max, percentUsed: ((limits.DailyApiRequests.Max - limits.DailyApiRequ...
