description: >-
  FinOps view of GoodData Cloud spend. GoodData prices its Professional tier on a
  per-workspace basis (a platform fee plus a per-workspace charge) with unlimited
  users and data, and its Enterprise tier on custom, use-case-based agreements.
  Cost drivers therefore center on the number of workspaces (tenants),
  environments, AI tier and AI query consumption (Fair Usage Policy), and
  compliance/SLA requirements rather than per-API-call metering.
notes: >-
  GoodData does not publish list prices for paid tiers; cost dimensions below are
  derived from published packaging. Verify current rates and AI query buckets
  with GoodData sales during reconciliation.
