billingDimensions:
  - name: Spans
    description: >
      The primary billable unit in Opik Cloud. A span represents a single
      recorded operation within an LLM application trace, such as an LLM call,
      retrieval step, or tool invocation. Monthly span consumption determines
      which plan tier applies or triggers add-on charges.

  - name: Team Members / Seats
    description: >
      Number of users with access to the Opik workspace. Seat counts are capped
      per plan tier for cloud deployments.

  - name: Data Retention
    description: >
      Duration that trace, span, evaluation, and experiment data is retained
      and queryable in the platform. Extended retention beyond defaults may
      incur additional costs at higher tiers.

costOptimizationGuidance:
  - category: Span Volume Management
    description: >
      Monitor monthly span consumption relative to plan limits. High-volume
      agentic workloads with many tool calls or retrieval steps can rapidly
      exhaust span quotas. Use sampling strategies and filter low-value spans
      in production to stay within plan limits.
  - category: Tier Selection
    description: >
      Free Cloud (25k spans/month) suits development and testing. Pro Cloud
      (100k spans/month) fits moderate production workloads. Self-hosted
      open-source deployment eliminates per-span billing for very high-volume
      use cases at the cost of infrastructure management overhead.
  - category: Self-Hosted vs. Cloud Trade-offs
    description: >
      The open-source Opik deployment (Apache 2.0) has no per-span or per-seat
      fees but requires Kubernetes or Docker infrastructure and operational
      maintenance. Organizations with high trace volumes should evaluate
      infrastructure costs against cloud subscription pricing.
  - category: Cost Intelligence
    description: >
      Opik includes built-in Cost Intelligence features (launched June 2026) to
      provide visibility into LLM API spend from coding agents such as Claude
      Code and Codex, enabling engineering leaders to track and optimize
      AI-related costs directly within the observability platform.
  - category: Add-on Stacking Awareness
    description: >
      For workspaces with high message volumes (10-50M+ messages/month), note
      that trace-volume add-ons, extended retention charges, additional seats,
      and higher-tier span limits can compound. Model full cost at scale before
      committing to cloud tiers at production volumes.
