Sift · FinOps Profile

Sift Finops

FinOps view of Sift spend. Sift is a commercial digital trust and safety platform billed under a custom, sales-negotiated agreement rather than public usage rates. Cost is typically driven by the products enabled (Payment Protection, Account Defense, Content Integrity, Dispute Management, plus add-ons like PSP Merchant Management and Verification) and by assessed volume - events, transactions, or users scored. Because pricing is bespoke and not published, the meters and columns below are modeled to structure cost tracking, not reconciled against a Sift rate card.

It defines 4 billable meters, billed in USD, on a monthly cycle, and pricing category committed-use.
