Captivate · FinOps Profile

Captivate Fm Finops

FinOps view of Captivate spend. Captivate is billed as a flat monthly (or discounted annual) SaaS subscription in one of three tiers - Personal ($19/mo), Professional ($49/mo), or Business ($99/mo) - each including a fixed monthly download allowance (30,000 / 150,000 / 300,000). There is no metered per-call API charge and no separate API fee; the API is included with any active subscription. The dominant cost driver is audience size (downloads), which determines the tier a podcaster must sit on. This is a predictable, subscription-based cost rather than usage-metered cloud spend.
