Crunchbase Data Finops

FinOps view of Crunchbase Data API spend. Crunchbase data is licensed, not metered on a public per-call rate: cost is driven by the license tier (Enterprise, Applications, or Basic) negotiated by contract, with enterprise agreements quoted on user count, API call volume, data-export frequency, and term. The dominant cost lever is the license itself rather than incremental API usage, though call volume and export frequency influence the negotiated price. There is no free full-API tier.
