Propeller Aero · FinOps Profile

Propeller Aero Finops

FinOps view of Propeller Aero spend. Propeller bills as annual, quote-based platform subscriptions priced per site, plus AeroPoints ground-control hardware (per unit) and an optional annual AeroPoints processing subscription. The Public API is not separately metered - it is an entitlement of higher tiers (such as Scale) - so API usage carries no incremental per-call charge. Cost is driven primarily by the number of sites under subscription and the hardware fleet, making per-site and per-team allocation the main levers.
