description: >-
  FinOps view of Signaturely API spend. Signaturely bills API access as a flat
  monthly subscription chosen from three tiers (Gold $49, Platinum $99, Titanium
  $199), each of which bundles a fixed monthly allowance of API signature requests
  (50 / 150 / 500) and a template cap (5 / 25 / unlimited). The dominant cost
  driver is the number of signature requests sent per month, which determines the
  required tier. Testing is free until the first real signature request. Annual
  billing reduces effective monthly cost by roughly 20%.
notes: >-
  Overage / per-additional-request pricing beyond a tier's monthly allowance is not
  itemized on the public pricing page; in practice, exceeding the allowance means
  moving up a tier. Verify current rates and any overage terms during
  reconciliation.

- name: Visibility
  description: Track monthly API signature-request volume against your plan's included allowance so you can see when you are approaching a tier boundary.
- name: Allocation
  description: Tag signature requests and templates by internal team or workflow so API-plan cost maps to the business processes that generate signatures.
- name: Optimization
  description: Right-size the plan tier to actual monthly request volume; consolidate reusable templates to stay within the tier cap; use annual billing (~20% savings) for steady workloads; test for free before committing.
- name: Accountability
  description: Assign an owner for the API subscription and review monthly request counts against the plan allowance to decide when to upgrade or downgrade.
