Skimmer · FinOps Profile

Skimmer Pool Finops

FinOps view of Skimmer spend. Skimmer is a subscription SaaS billed per serviced location per month ($1/location on Getting Started with a $49 minimum; $2/location on Scaling Up with a $98 minimum). The Public API is not metered as its own line item and has no usage-based API fee; instead it is a capability bundled into the custom-priced Enterprise ("Owning the Market") tier. So the dominant cost driver is the count of active serviced locations, not API call volume - the 500 req/min rate limit is an operational guardrail rather than a billing meter.

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

It defines 2 billable meters, billed in USD, on a monthly cycle, and pricing category subscription-based.
