Propel · FinOps Profile

Propel Data Finops

FinOps view of Propel spend. Propel bills a customer-facing analytics platform whose cost drivers are query volume against the GraphQL API, Data Pool storage synced from the warehouse, and the compute size (Propeller) assigned to each Application, with tiered Free / Growth / Enterprise plans. Per-unit rates are largely quote-based, so this artifact is not reconciled.

Propel Data Finops is the FinOps profile for Propel on the APIs.io network, aligned with the FinOps Foundation Framework.

It defines 4 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 Analytics, GraphQL, Data Warehouse, Metrics, and Customer Facing Analytics.
