In July 2023, SALT began billing agencies for the data they retrieved within their submissions via our data integration providers.

In 2024, SALT adjusted our data billing process by introducing the new pre-purchase Data Credit system whereby SALT Agencies can apply their SALT Data Credits at their discretion to acquire the desired data and maximize efficiency.

Data credits are redeemed when one of the following takes place. ⤵️

SALT offers an array of Data integration tools that operate from a "Data-as-a-Service" approach. As stated above, our integration tools responsible for returning integration data reports are Estated (home/property data), and Fenris (driver/auto data).
​
The Estated & Fenris integrations can be configured on a "per form" basis. (i.e. You can have them active on one form, and inactive on another.)

When the Estated/Fenris integrations are active on your account and within a form, the SALT app will redeem the required data credits for that DaaS vendor's payload, according to the table below.

Vendor Credit Cost:

The purchase of a Data Credit package will allow you to utilize our optional Estated and Fenris integrations to retrieve "Big Data" integration reports (see more info below). Your credit balance will be split up between them.

When active, these integration partners retrieve and return integration data reports (pictured below) that we then attach to a submission. (Tap here to learn more about our Big Data Vendors.)
​

Again, these integrations are completely optional and their use is not mandated or required. You're welcome to deactivate these integrations here if you'd like to.

In addition to the Big Data Vendor reports, Data Credits will also be redeemed once your annual soft cap of 300 submissions, included in your Propel subscription, has been reached.

1 Data Credit will be redeemed for each submission processed after the allotted 300 (applicable to both consumer-submitted & agency-generated submissions).
​

[Note: The soft cap will be reset on the effective start date of your SALT subscription.]
​

Admins/Owners can purchase Data Credits, view their agency’s Data Credit usage, and set up auto-reload by navigating to the billing section.

SALT Data Credits will need to be pre-purchased. Data Credits are priced at $1/ea with discounts available when purchased in bulk. See this article for full pricing info & discount details.

The Purchase Data Credits window provides an approximation of what we project you will use the following month based on previous usage. Selecting “Show Data Credit Cost by Vendor” will allow you to see a breakdown of exactly what your previous Data Credits were spent on.

We’ve provided the option for agencies to set up auto-reload so they don’t have to worry about running out of Data Credits and interrupting service flow.

You can filter Data Credit usage by period, date, or source using the filter located on the left-hand side of the screen. You’ll see credits spent across all sources, as well as the amount spent for each specific data vendor and SALT submission.
