description: >-
  FinOps view of Qodo spend. Qodo bills per active user per month on a
  subscription model (free Developer, Teams, Enterprise) rather than per-token
  or per-API-call usage. Cost is driven by the number of seats that actively
  trigger PR reviews or use the IDE/CLI. The open-source PR-Agent component is
  Apache-2.0 and free; when self-hosted its real cost is the underlying LLM
  provider tokens and the compute the operator runs the webhook server on.
notes: >-
  Per-seat rates and free-tier allowances change; verify against the Qodo
  pricing page during reconciliation. Self-hosted PR-Agent shifts cost from a
  Qodo subscription to the operator's LLM API bill and infrastructure.
