Kubescape · FinOps Profile

Kubescape Finops

FinOps view of Kubescape spend. The open-source Kubescape core (CLI plus in-cluster Operator, Apache 2.0, CNCF) is free - the cost is your own compute for running scans and the Operator's eBPF runtime monitoring, with no vendor invoice. ARMO Platform is the managed offering, billed primarily on the number of protected worker nodes (and, at larger scale, vCPUs and support tier), above a free node allowance. Enterprise agreements cover multi-cluster, multi-cloud deployments with extended retention and SLAs.
