SmartSimple · FinOps Profile

Smartsimple Finops

FinOps view of SmartSimple spend. SmartSimple Cloud is a contract-based enterprise SaaS subscription rather than a usage-metered API. The dominant cost is the annual platform subscription, scaled by internal users, monthly usage hours, external users, and hosting model, plus optional add-ons (High Performance Private Cloud, AI features) and one-time implementation and services. The SmartConnect, OData, and SOAP APIs are included with the subscription and are not billed per call, so API cost management is about staying within the platform agreement and the documented per-instance call ceiling rather than metering per-request spend.
