Unit Economics

A UnitEconomics property references a document that describes the per-unit cost model for an API — such as cost per API call, cost per gigabyte processed, cost per token consumed, or cost per transaction. Unit economics are a core FinOps capability defined in the FinOps Framework under the Quantify Business Value domain. Publishing a machine-readable or human-readable unit cost breakdown alongside an API makes pricing structure discoverable by enterprise procurement, FinOps tools, and developers building cost-aware applications.
