About data source accounts

A data source account is the specific unit your Supermetrics subscription quota is measured in — for example, one Facebook Ads account or one Google Analytics 4 property. Each data source uses its own name for this unit (see Data source account names below), but Supermetrics refers to all of them as data source accounts, since this is the term used across all subscription and quotas.

Example

All data sources under the same subscription share the same number of data source accounts.

Say you want to pull data from 10 Facebook Ads accounts and 7 LinkedIn Ads accounts. Since all data sources on a subscription share the same account quota, you'd need a subscription that supports at least 10 data source accounts. This covers both Facebook Ads and LinkedIn Ads, since each data source can use up to your full quota.

Data source account vs. other account types

Supermetrics uses "account" in a couple of different contexts. Here's how a data source account differs from the others:

• Data source account: The unit inside a data source that counts against your subscription quota, such as one Facebook Ads account or one Google Analytics 4 property. This article covers this type. Data source connection, on the other hand, is the link between your Supermetrics account and a data source. A connection alone doesn't count against your quota — the quota is counted by data source account, not by connection.

• Supermetrics user account: The account you use to log in to Supermetrics itself, connected to your billing and subscription. This is also the account you use to log in to Google Sheets, Looker Studio, Excel, or other data destinations where you use Supermetrics. Sometimes this account is called the destination account.

See How to log in to Supermetrics for more details about login options.

Number of data source accounts per subscription

Each Supermetrics subscription supports a specific number of data source accounts for each data source it's connected to. This is your subscription's data source account quota.

The number of data source accounts per subscription depends on the subscription type. To see how many data source accounts your subscription allows you to use, go to the Subscriptions page on the Supermetrics Hub. The number of data source accounts shows in your subscription features.

You can upgrade your subscription to include more data source accounts on the Supermetrics Hub. For more than 20 additional data source accounts, contact our team to learn more.

What each data source calls its account

Facebook Ads uses "accounts," Google Analytics 4 uses "properties," and Instagram Insights uses "profiles" — Supermetrics calls all of them data source accounts.

Data sources with unlimited accounts

Some data sources support an unlimited number of data source accounts on any Supermetrics subscription.
