Dimensions summary
This listing uses a single contract dimension based on the amount of IT spend you manage. You pay one fixed price to manage up to $25 million of IT spend per year. If your managed IT spend goes above $25 million per year, additional fees apply. Pricing scales with the volume of IT spend under management rather than by users or features. The platform helps you consolidate, plan, and allocate IT costs across your organization.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Billing is based on the total IT spend you route through the platform for costing and planning. You pay one fixed price to manage up to $25 million of IT spend per year. This is measured by the dollar volume of IT costs analyzed, not by user count or number of applications.
The fixed price covers up to $25 million of managed IT spend per year. If your managed spend exceeds that amount, additional fees apply on the portion above $25 million. The base fixed price still covers the first $25 million.
The platform consolidates and structures your financial and operational data automatically. You can allocate IT costs, run budgeting and forecasting, and produce showback and chargeback reports. It also supports benchmarking your costs against peers. These capabilities apply to the IT spend you manage under the contract.

Great Visualizations, but Data Modeling and Pricing Need Improvement
Reviewed on Nov 10, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Visualizations and capabilities, loved the idea behind service model costing and performance management. .
What do you dislike about the product?
Data modeling complications and pricing - never able to complete the vision as I could not get the data right and finance needed more accuracy in the numbers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We just ended the agreement, needed more time to build the platform but the usage was low. Had I had the opportunity to scale down or do an extension to determine how to leverage effectively may have stayed but could not justify the investment. My internal team was the primary user. . Again, see great value but the usage was low and the Apptio sales team wanted a term commitment.
