Accredible · FinOps Profile

Accredible Finops

FinOps view of Accredible spend. Accredible is a subscription SaaS billed on a per-unique-recipient basis over an annual commitment, not on API calls or per-credential usage - an issuer pays once per unique recipient per year and can issue unlimited certificates and badges to that recipient. The dominant cost driver is therefore the count of distinct recipients credentialed in a billing year, which maps to plan tier (Launch, Connect, Growth, Enterprise). The API is included in the subscription with no separate metered API charge.
