Kinde So Finops

FinOps view of Kinde spend. Kinde is billed primarily on Monthly Active Users (MAU): each plan (Free, Pro, Plus, Scale) carries a base monthly subscription and a large included MAU allowance (10,500 at the time of writing), with usage above the allowance billed per additional MAU at a per-plan rate that drops as you move up tiers ($0.0175 Pro, $0.0163 Plus, $0.0151 Scale). Users on a paid subscription are excluded from the MAU count. The Management API is included at no extra per-call charge. Secondary metered costs include SMS (~$0.07/message) and payment transaction fees (~0.5%-0.7%) on Kinde's own billing product.
