Estuary · FinOps Profile

Estuary Finops

FinOps view of Estuary Flow spend. Estuary bills two usage dimensions: the volume of data moved through Flow, metered in GB at a per-GB rate, and the number of active connector instances, charged as a flat monthly rate per instance (with a lower rate above the first six). A perpetual Free tier covers 10 GB/month and 2 connectors. Because source and target data is counted once, fan-out to additional destinations does not multiply the data-movement charge.

Estuary Finops is the FinOps profile for Estuary on the APIs.io network, aligned with the FinOps Foundation Framework.

It defines 3 billable meters, billed in USD, on a monthly cycle, and pricing category usage-based.

The profile maps 8 FOCUS columns for cost-allocation reporting.

Tagged areas include Data Integration, Streaming ETL, Change Data Capture, CDC, and Real-Time Data.
