# Billing Considerations for Clean Rooms

Clean rooms uses Data 360 to ingest data securely into a clean room collaboration. Use of Clean rooms impacts the consumption of credits in these usage types.

Use Digital Wallet to check which consumption cards are active in your org, find out how many credits are available on each card, and determine how many credits have been consumed in each usage type.

Some usage types aren't metered for certain licenses or editions, such as a Data 360 Profiles license or Agentforce 1 Edition. Check your licenses and review license documentation for more information.

## Data 360 Usage

When you use Data 360for data collection and processing, your org consumes credits from either the Data Services consumption card or the Flex Credits consumption card.

- If your contract included Data Service Credits, those are consumed for all Data 360 usage.
- If you run out of Data Service Credits, your org is billed at your Data Service Credit overage rate for the remainder of your term unless more credits are added.
- If you have Flex Credits for Data 360, those credits are consumed instead.

Data Services and Flex Credits organize data services within different usage type groupings. For more information, see [Data Services Billable Usage Types for Data 360](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_data_usage_types.htm&type=5&language=en_US) and [Flex Credits Usage Types for Data 360](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_flex_credits_for_data360.htm&type=5&language=en_US). To check multipliers for each usage type, see the [Multipliers for Data Services Rate Card](https://www.salesforce.com/data/rates/multipliers/) or the [Agentforce & Data 360 Flex Credits Rate Card](https://www.salesforce.com/agentforce/rates/). The cost of each credit is determined by your contract.

## Usage Types Consumed on the Provider Org

A provider org is a Data 360 org that contributes data to the clean room for querying.

## Reduce Clean Rooms Costs

You can lower consumption rates for Clean Rooms in several ways.

- If you're ingesting data to Data 360 for clean rooms, hash the personally identifiable information (PII) to avoid transforms.
- Avoid running a query too often. Unless a segment is refreshed, consecutive query results don't show a significant difference.
