By bundling Cloud cost visibility and analytics with these security essentials, FinOps practioners can collaborate effectively with security staff to make the right cost and security decisions for the business.
Monthly Fees Calculations
For each month of the subscription term, the customer will pay a minimum monthly fee (the "Minimum Monthly Fee") for all Services purchased.
If customer's actual monthly fees for Spot Services, calculated based on customer's actual usage (the "Actual Monthly Fee"), exceed the Minimum Monthly Fee, then, in addition to the Minimum Monthly Fee, customer will pay a monthly overage fee equal to the Actual Monthly Fee less the Minimum Monthly Fee.
For the avoidance of doubt, customer will not receive a refund and will be obligated to pay the Minimum Monthly Fee in the event that customer's Actual Monthly Fee is less than the Minimum Monthly Fee.
Customer's Actual Monthly Fee shall be calculated based on Customer's actual usage each month, as follows:
Elastigroup and Ocean
For customer's use of AWS on-demand instances, reserved instances ("RIs") and savings plans ("SPs") and/or other cloud providers on-demand instances, RIs, SPS, reserved capacity ("RC") or committed usage discounts ("CUD"), the Actual Monthly Fee equal to X US$ per 100 virtual central processing unit ("vCPU") hours; Plus
For customer's use of AWS spot instances and/or other cloud providers spot or preemptible virtual machines ("VMs), the Actual Monthly Fee equals to X US$ per 100 vCPU hours.
Or
For customer's use of AWS spot instances and/or other cloud providers spot or preemptible VMs, the Actual Monthly Fee equal to X US$ per 1 US$ Savings realized by customer each month.
Eco
For AWS RIs and SPs and/or other cloud providers RIs, SPs and RC or CUD, the monthly fee will be equal to X US$ per 1 US$ Savings realized by customer each month.
Billing Engine, Cost Intelligence and Security Essentials
Actual Monthly Fees equal to: X US$ per 1 US$ of customer's Spend.
The number of monthly vCPU hours shall be determined and the definitions of "Savings" and "Spend" shall be as detailed in the Documentation: https://docs.spot.io/connect-your-cloud-provider/dashboard

Spot platform aligns all cross-organizational accounts from different CSP for cloud cost governance
We can map our cloud infrastructure footprint under a single dashboard & utlize its recommendations to evaluate potential savings.
It provides comprehensive governance control to identify unneded resource deployments and carry out its decomissioning activities in our cloud environments.
This is applicable to all service platforms that rely upon Cloud Service Provider (CSP), hence its not a major downside, looking at the overall cloud spend management.
By streamlining our workloads with Spot insights, we determine cost predictions & estimate resource expenditures based on historical data & changes in the anticipated workloads.
We can conveniently tag critical resources which handle our priority workload, so that it can be monitored & won't be accidentally interrupted by other deployments.
It offers single pane of glass visibility on various metrics such as cost prediction, resource utilization, and cost trends which greatly helps with our cloud cost analysis.
Since it supports cross-organizational accounts from different CSP, we can quickly build a centralized overview dashboard for resource reclamation, instance optimization and cloud cost governance stategies.
