Freee Finops

FinOps view of freee spend. freee is subscription SaaS billed in Japanese yen (JPY), tax-excluded. freee Accounting corporate plans are billed per company per month with usage-based charges (従量課金) layered on; freee HR & Payroll plans include a base headcount and then bill per additional employee (per-user) per month. Annual billing is discounted versus monthly. The public REST API is included with a paid subscription - there is no separate metered API charge - so API-driven integrations do not add a distinct line item; they consume the same subscription entitlement. Cost is therefore driven by product mix (accounting vs HR/payroll), plan tier, company count, and employee headcount.
