Shadeform · FinOps Profile

Shadeform Finops

FinOps view of Shadeform spend. Shadeform is a GPU cloud marketplace that bills usage-based, per-GPU-hour rates that pass through from the underlying cloud provider, plus capacity-over-time charges for persistent volumes. There are no per-token or per-request fees. The dominant cost driver is GPU hours, so cost control centers on right-sizing GPU type, routing to the cheapest available provider/region, and aggressively reclaiming idle instances with auto-delete and spend alerts. Per-GPU rates are dynamic marketplace passthrough and are not reconciled here.
