If your company can afford anywhere between 75k and 100k US on finops platform , then cloudability definitely worth it. The support behind the purchase is what I found particularly good, ie the on boarding consultants and CSM support that is ongoing and is part of your purchase. It has some fantastic features and look out in Nov for its native AI integration using NLP and MCP integrations , that can be used in agentic work. This is built into to price not an extra. Hope that helps
I was consulted on pricing and setup cost because we already had a governance tool that was costing us about seventy thousand dollars a year. I knew that tool had the ability to do pricing and cost savings and efficiencies. I also knew that the company was not leveraging it anywhere near the ability and capacity that it had. When people came to me and asked what I thought about this from a cost perspective, I said I was not sure. The product looked great, but one hundred thousand dollars, I did not know. I think if the only tool you have is Apptio Cloudability, maybe that is a fair pricing. It is very hard for me to judge when it comes to pricing. I did not have a lot to do with the negotiation of buying. I was just consulted a little on what my opinion was on going forward, whether we should get Premium or Apptio Cloudability. Premium is particularly good with the advanced Turbonomics, but you do pay for that. I think if you are not going to use a lot of the automation that comes with the Turbonomics, with the cost findings and the ability to turn machines on and off and all these different things, it is probably not worth paying for Premium. But if you are going to utilize that, it definitely is worth paying for Premium.
Pricing and setup cost for Cloudability are good. Compared to the rest of the industry, they may be a little more expensive than some other FinOps tools, but that's to be expected because they have more functionality. So while it's a bit more expensive, you also get value for money because of the breadth and depth of the features.
I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, where one is very cheap and ten is very expensive. Pricing is one of the main issues we face. Cloudability is actually expensive, and it's quite difficult to promote Cloudability to some customers or clients who have a small structure or who have not budgeted to acquire Cloudability. The price of the license or the usage is a percentage of the top consumption. So it varies from year to year. And, if you are a large customer with a significant amount of consumption, proportionally, Cloudability will be expensive. So the more you use, the more you pay.

It justifies the cost and is worth it. We loved the experience of purchasing this solution through AWS Marketplace. It's very intuitive and cost-efficient. We bought it there because that's where it's available.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was limited because it was done centrally by procurement.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was adequate, but it could be made better.

Cloudability has yearly charges based on usage. It's not cheap.
Setup was easy, and updates seamless. Pricing is straightforward.
When the company opted for the solution a couple of years ago it was affordable.
The pricing is okay. It's not too expensive. That said, I'm not completely familiar with the licensing model.
