Mendable Finops

FinOps view of Mendable spend. Mendable bills through a monthly message-credit model where each chat answer consumes credits that vary by the underlying model (for example GPT-3.5-Turbo ~1 credit, Claude ~2, GPT-4 / tool-using ~3). A Free tier includes a fixed monthly credit allotment; the Enterprise tier is sales-led with custom credit volumes, bring-your-own-key models, SSO, and SLA. Data ingestion is included within the plan rather than separately metered.
