Windy · FinOps Profile

Windy Finops

FinOps view of Windy API spend. Windy bills its three API products as fixed annual subscriptions rather than usage-based metering: Point Forecast and Map Forecast at 990 EUR/year each (Map Forecast adds an optional 1,000 EUR/year for ECMWF), and Webcams Professional at 9,990 EUR/year. Within each paid subscription a daily session/request quota applies (10,000/day, expandable by agreement). Free testing tiers carry no charge but cannot be used in production.
