Data Credits (DC) are the currency used across the Similarweb Sales Intelligence platform, including the Sales Extension, API and MCP. Your subscription comes with Data Credits built in, allowing you to reveal contacts, view in-depth analysis, and more, according to your plan. You always see the total cost before you confirm an action.
Data Credits give you the flexibility to spend your balance on what matters most to your work:
- Choose where to spend: contacts, CRM enrichment and or API and MCP.
- Reveal only what you need: pick the email, mobile phone or landline, and pay only for the metrics you need, and only for information that was retrieved.
- Know the cost first: the total always appears before you confirm.
- Allocate across teams: admins can distribute credits by role and usage.

If you previously had Contact Credits
Your Contact Credits were converted into Data Credits and added to your balance. Before, a reveal returned every available detail at once. Now you choose which details to reveal.
Viewing & Managing your balance
Your Data Credit balance appears at the top of the platform and in the Sales Extension.
Click it to open Data Credits Management, where you can view and track your usage.
Admins can use this page to manage their team’s data credits allocation across different rules and solutions.
