Nookal · FinOps Profile

Nookal Finops

FinOps view of Nookal spend. Nookal is a per-practitioner monthly SaaS subscription: the dominant cost is the number of active practitioner seats times the plan rate (Essentials, Professional, or Enterprise), billed monthly. API access is not a separately metered product - it is a feature gated to the Professional and Enterprise tiers, so the API carries no per-call invoice line of its own. Variable, usage-metered costs sit alongside the seat fee: SMS messaging (from around 10 cents per message), Medicare claiming (around 30 cents per successful claim), and optional add-ons (AI + Voice, Patient Portal, Single Sign-On, Secure Messaging) billed per licence, location, or user. This model is modeled honestly from the public pricing page and is not reconciled against a Nookal invoice or FOCUS export.
