Safe (Gnosis Safe) · FinOps Profile

Gnosis Safe Finops

FOCUS-aligned FinOps for Safe Transaction Service API. The dominant cost driver is the monthly subscription tier (Builder free, Growth EUR 199/month, Scale EUR 499+/month), with the billing unit being one API unit per HTTP request to any Safe Infrastructure endpoint. Webhook slots (Growth: 2, Scale: 10) add operational capability but are included in the subscription with no per-event overage charge. The Safe{Core} SDK (@safe-global/api-kit) and open-source safe-transaction-service are free; cost begins only when using the hosted Safe Infrastructure. Custom plans above Scale thresholds are negotiated directly with Safe. Pricing is denominated in EUR. Charges are assessed monthly with hard quota blocking (HTTP 429) rather than metered overage billing at the published tiers.
