Keygen · FinOps Profile

Keygen Finops

FinOps view of Keygen spend. Keygen Cloud is a subscription service billed primarily on active licensed users (ALUs) - unique licenses that validate in a billing period - with tier-based feature gating (Software Licensing API on every tier, Distribution API on Std and above) and enterprise add-ons (SLA, SSO, audit logs). Self-hosted Keygen CE carries no license fee (infra cost only); Keygen EE is a flat-rate self-hosted license. The dominant cost driver on Cloud is ALU growth, so cost control centers on how licenses are modeled and which tier that ALU volume lands in.

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

It defines 5 billable meters, billed in USD, on a monthly cycle, and pricing category subscription.

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