OpenMeter · FinOps Profile

Openmeter Finops

FinOps view of OpenMeter. OpenMeter is itself a FinOps-enabling tool - it meters product/API usage and turns it into entitlements and invoices - so this artifact covers both the cost of running OpenMeter and the usage meters OpenMeter produces for your own products. OpenMeter Cloud is billed on metered event volume; the open-source deployment carries only self-hosted infrastructure cost (ingestion, ClickHouse, Kafka/streaming).

Openmeter Finops is the FinOps profile for OpenMeter 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 Usage Metering, Billing, Entitlements, CloudEvents, and Open Source.
