description: >-
  FinOps view of Fingerprint spend. Fingerprint bills usage-based per API call
  (identification event), with a free monthly allotment, a bundled Pro Plus plan
  plus per-1,000 overage, and custom Enterprise pricing. Smart Signals are
  included with the identification event; cost is driven primarily by API-call
  volume across web, iOS, and Android.
notes: >-
  Per-plan included volumes and overage rates are subject to change; verify
  against the Fingerprint pricing page during reconciliation.
