Rowy · FinOps Profile

Rowy Finops

FinOps view of Rowy spend. Rowy itself is open source (free to self-host) with a free hosted Base plan and a paid Pro subscription; it adds little or no direct compute cost because it is 100% serverless and runs inside the user's own Firebase/GCP project. The real, metered cost is the underlying Google Cloud Platform usage: Firestore storage and reads/writes, Cloud Functions invocations and build minutes, and Cloud Run for webhooks and Rowy Run services. Cost optimization therefore happens at the GCP/Firebase layer, not at Rowy.

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

It defines 6 billable meters, billed in USD, on a monthly cycle, and pricing category usage-based.

The profile maps 8 FOCUS columns for cost-allocation reporting.
