Sinay · FinOps Profile

Sinay Finops

FinOps view of Sinay Developers Platform spend. Sinay bills a subscription plan (Free / Pro / Enterprise) that carries a monthly allowance of API calls / API units (credits), consumed across the maritime APIs (Ports & Vessels, Metocean, CO2 Emission, ETA, Port Congestion). Different endpoints can consume different numbers of API units per call, so cost is driven by call mix as well as call volume. Each API reports its own consumption (consumedApiUnits, credit periods) which is the primary signal for cost visibility.
