What Is a Duplicate Credit in Delpha?

A Duplicate Credit is a unit used by Delpha to evaluate records for duplicates in your Salesforce org. It helps you track and manage how much of your deduplication capacity you're using throughout the year.

This guide explains how credits are calculated and how they’re consumed based on your deduplication activity.

Key Concept: 1 Record = 1 Credit

Each record (Account, Contact, Lead, etc.) that Delpha evaluates for duplicates consumes 1 duplicate credit — regardless of whether it’s merged or not.

⚠️ Credits are not consumed instantly. They represent your evaluation capacity for unique records.

Example: Credit Usage

Let’s say you want to deduplicate:

• 10,000 Accounts

• 20,000 Contacts

👉 You will need 30,000 duplicate credits.

Later in the year, you:

• Merge 5,000 Contacts ✅

• Add 10,000 new Contacts to be evaluated ❗

👉 New total = 40,000 duplicate credits used.

Summary

Action	Credit Impact
Evaluate 1 record for duplicates	1 credit per year
Merge record	No extra credit cost
Add new record & evaluate	+1 credit per record
