Raycast · FinOps Profile

Raycast Finops

FinOps view of Raycast spend. Raycast is billed as a per-seat SaaS subscription, not usage-metered API consumption. Cost drivers are the count of Pro seats, Teams seats, and Advanced AI add-on seats. The @raycast/api SDK and Store publishing are free, so there is no per-call inference or API charge to allocate - spend is a function of how many users are licensed at each tier and whether they carry the AI add-on.
