Memgraph · FinOps Profile

Memgraph Finops

FinOps view of Memgraph spend. Memgraph is not a usage-metered API; the free Community Edition carries no license cost, and the dominant cost driver for self hosted deployments is infrastructure - chiefly memory (since the working graph is held in RAM), CPU, and storage for snapshots/WAL. The Enterprise Edition adds an annual, sales-negotiated license (reported from ~$25,000/year scaling by memory), and Memgraph Cloud (Beta) adds managed-hosting charges. Because license and cloud pricing is negotiated and not fully published, this artifact is not reconciled.

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

It defines 5 billable meters, billed in USD, on a annual cycle, and pricing category subscription / self-hosted infrastructure.
