Weedmaps Finops

FinOps view of Weedmaps spend. Weedmaps' partner APIs (Menu, Brand Catalog, Taxonomy, Orders) carry no separate per-call fee - the cost driver is the Weedmaps for Business listing subscription that the APIs keep in sync. That subscription is a monthly SaaS/advertising charge paid by dispensaries, delivery services, and brands, priced by market and negotiated via Weedmaps sales (reported retailer base ~$495/mo, delivery ~$395/mo, with large metros and national brand programs substantially higher). For an integration partner, the direct cost is the engineering and infrastructure to run the sync against the documented rate limits, not a metered API invoice.
