Open Exchange Rates · FinOps Profile

Openexchangerates Finops

FinOps view of Open Exchange Rates spend. Billing is a flat monthly (or discounted annual) subscription per tier rather than pure metered usage - Free at $0 for 1,000 requests/month, Developer at $12 for 10,000, Enterprise at $47 for 100,000, Unlimited at $97 with no request cap, and custom-priced VIP service levels for 1-second updates, bid-ask, and OHLC data. The cost driver is therefore which tier your monthly request volume and required features (base currency change, time-series, convert, OHLC) push you into. Annual billing yields two months free per year.
