Sentinel Hub · FinOps Profile

Sentinel Hub Finops

FOCUS-aligned FinOps profile for Sentinel Hub (Sinergise / Planet). The primary cost driver is Processing Units (PUs) consumed per API request, calculated from output pixel count, band count, bit depth, and optional surcharges for Sentinel-1 orthorectification or complex EvalScripts. Subscriptions grant a monthly PU and request allowance; Batch Processing API reduces unit cost by 2/3 for large-area jobs; Async Processing API by 1/3 for mid-size jobs.

Meters

processing_units
Unit: processing-units
Processing Units consumed per API request. Base = (output_pixels / 512^2) x (bands / 3) x format_multiplier x samples_multiplier x data_fusion_multiplier. Minimum 0.005 PU (Process/OGC) or 0.01 PU (Statistical).
http_requests
Unit: requests
HTTP request count against the per-minute and per-month quota.
data_delivery_egress
Unit: megabytes
Cross-region bucket delivery for Batch and Async APIs (0.03 PU/MB).
