Is Luxera Cloud cheaper than DemandTools?

Yes — for most orgs. DemandTools is $11/month per Salesforce license. A 50-user org pays $550/month ($6,600/year). Luxera Cloud is $79/month flat regardless of user count. Even a 10-user org costs more with DemandTools. Luxera Cloud includes all 10 audit tools with no per-license pricing.

Can I use both DemandTools and Luxera Cloud?

Yes — they solve different problems. Use DemandTools for bulk data operations (mass updates, field standardization, scenario-based dedup) and Luxera Cloud for continuous org health monitoring (fields, flows, permissions, sharing rules, validation rules). They complement each other. Luxera Cloud helps you discover what needs fixing; DemandTools can help fix it.

Does Luxera Cloud need admin permissions?

No. Luxera Cloud's free tools run with minimal permissions. The CSV Scanner is fully client-side — no Salesforce access needed. The OAuth-based auditors use read-only Tooling API access and don't require System Admin. Standard users, power users, and read-only users can run audits. DemandTools typically requires Admin-level access for full functionality.

What does DemandTools cost for large orgs?

DemandTools is priced per Salesforce license, so costs scale with your user count. At $11/license/month, a 100-user org pays $1,100/month ($13,200/year). Enterprise pricing may offer volume discounts, but the per-license model means costs always grow with the org. Luxera Cloud's flat $79/month pricing is predictable regardless of org size.
