What you will find in this article:

A data source is a data set of another data platform/integration you connect to use in your reports. One data source would be one Facebook page, one Google Analytics property, or an Instagram Business account.

An Integration is the actual marketing platform. For example, a Google Ads MCC account is not one data source but an integration.

Every time you connect a data source to a client, you can use it across multiple reports unlimited times. It will be counted individually each time you add the data source to Swydo. If you connect the same data source twice or to a different client, it will be counted as a new data source, and you will be charged extra for it.

The flat fee is $49, including 10 data source slots. After the tenth data source is added, each new source is $3.00 per month. However, the more data sources you add, the less you will pay per data source.

Check out the following table to see the Volume fees:

If your data source shows twice in the same client, it will be counted double in your bill, effective from December 1, 2022.

You can either replace the data source with the duplicate so all KPIs and widgets containing this source don't go empty, or you can delete the duplicate source.

Go to your “Settings” on the left menu. Under “Connections,” you will find "Data Sources.” There, you will find a complete list of all active data sources. You can sort the results by client, integration, or error. From there, you can reconnect the source if needed, rename it, and delete it.

You can also check the active and total data sources on the Billing page under View Usage Details :

Remember that even if you remove a source, it will be charged at the end of the current cycle, which is why you will see active and inactive sources.

You can definitely do that. You could add the same source to other clients. Just keep in mind that all data sources connected to clients will be counted in your bill, even if doubled.

You can control how much you pay by maintaining only your active data sources in your Swydo account. You could do this by removing the data sources directly from the client's page, as in the following image or as shown in Step 7 above.

Yes, our payment system is post-payment; therefore, all data sources connected throughout the month are charged at the end of the billing cycle in arrears. If you remove data sources today, they will still be visible in your account as total data sources, and you will pay for them in the upcoming bill. Moving forward, if they remain inactive, they won't be counted anymore in the next billing cycles.

2. Ensure your teammates connect all new data sources directly to the Client's page instead of adding new sources on the report level. Otherwise, you might find there are two or more data sources connected to the same client by different teammates.

Our Fair use policy requires you to create an individual client folder in Swydo for all clients you service. This also applies to locations for Franchise companies or different brands if you are an advertiser.
