Nscale · FinOps Profile
Nscale Finops
FinOps view of Nscale spend. Nscale bills usage-based per-token rates for serverless text inference (input and output), per-megapixel rates for image generation, and per-GPU-hour rates for compute instances, nodes, and clusters. Reserved capacity and enterprise commitments reduce effective GPU-hour rates.
Nscale Finops is the FinOps profile for Nscale on the APIs.io network, aligned with the FinOps Foundation Framework.
It defines 5 billable meters, billed in USD, on a monthly cycle, and pricing category usage-based.
The profile maps 8 FOCUS columns for cost-allocation reporting.
Tagged areas include AI, GPU, Inference, Serverless, and Cloud Compute.
