I apologize, but I don't have specific information about how the "Monitor for New Hires Cost" is calculated or why the numbers might not align with the rows. The sources provided don't contain details about cost calculation for this feature. What I can tell you is that the Monitor for New Hires feature tracks recently hired employees at target companies within the last three months. You can set up this feature by clicking on 'Actions' and selecting 'Monitor for new hires' in your table. To better assist you with your question about cost calculation, could you provide more details about what specific numbers you're seeing and how they don't align with the rows? This would help me understand the issue more clearly.

Hey Andreas! For new signals going forward, the charge is 1 credit for each 5 records checked. So depending on the frequency of the check, Clay is trying to provide an estimate of the credit cost, each time the check runs. Based on your screenshot, in that table, a daily run would be 600 credits each month (20/day). A montly run (1/30th as often) would be 20 credits /month. A quarterly run (1/90th as often) would be 6.6 credits/month. Does that breakdown make sense? Happy to take a look at the speciic table with you – just share a link if things aren't adding up.

thx for this! So if a monitored table has 1000 profiles (champions) to track, it’s ~200 credits if checked monthly, correct?

Yep, 1000 / 5 = 200 credits to check on the group as a whole. (Or, 0.2 credits * 1000 people, depending on the mental math you prefer!) To do that check once a month = 200/month.
