GameAnalytics · FinOps Profile

Gameanalytics Finops

FinOps view of GameAnalytics spend. Core game analytics - event collection via the Collection API, dashboards, retention, funnels, and monetization/ads reporting - is free. Cost is incurred through the PipelineIQ product line: programmatic Metrics API access, the Organization API, and raw Data Export streaming of JSON events to the customer's own cloud, priced by data volume and features and quoted by sales. Downstream cloud storage and warehouse costs (AWS S3, Google BigQuery, Google Cloud Storage) accrue in the customer's own cloud account, not on a GameAnalytics invoice.
