Skio · FinOps Profile

Skio Finops

FinOps view of Skio spend. Skio is a SaaS subscription-management platform for Shopify DTC brands, billed as a flat monthly platform fee (Scale plan) plus a per-order transaction fee (1% + $0.20) on each subscription order, with a custom Enterprise tier for high-volume merchants. The dominant, variable cost driver is the transaction fee, which scales directly with subscription order volume and average order value. The GraphQL API carries no separate fee - it is included with the plan - so API usage does not add a line item beyond the platform and transaction fees.
