description: >
  FinOps considerations for Felt API and platform consumption aligned with
  the FinOps Foundation FOCUS specification. Felt uses a flat-rate annual
  contract model with no credit packs or surprise overage invoices, making
  cost forecasting straightforward. API access is gated to the Enterprise
  tier, which requires custom pricing negotiated with sales.

  description: >
    Felt sells annual contracts at a flat rate per tier. There are no per-API-
    call charges, no credit consumption models, and no auto-billed overages.
    When usage caps (data processing, map views) are approached, Felt proactively
    contacts the customer rather than charging overages automatically.

      Cloud source caching prevents warehouse bill spikes from Postgres,
      Snowflake, BigQuery, and Databricks integrations.

costOptimization:
  - practice: Use data caching for cloud sources
    description: >
      Enterprise cloud data source connections include caching to reduce
      repeated queries to Postgres, Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, and S3,
      directly lowering warehouse compute costs.
    applicableTiers:
      - Enterprise

  - practice: Monitor data processing monthly quota
    description: >
      Professional plan includes 25 GB of data processing per month. Monitoring
      upload volumes helps avoid unplanned tier escalation conversations.
    applicableTiers:
      - Professional

  - practice: Leverage nonprofit and education discounts
    description: >
      Verified U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofits receive 30% off. Verified students
      and classrooms receive free access, enabling significant cost avoidance.
    applicableTiers:
      - Professional
      - Enterprise

  - practice: Evaluate viewer vs. full seat allocation
    description: >
      Viewers are free and unlimited on paid plans. Only users who need to
      edit maps require full seats. Keeping editor seats minimal reduces
      incremental per-seat costs ($50/user/month on Professional).
