OwnUsage

Meter every app. Surface every wasted dollar.

SaaS usage and cost intelligence for the whole estate — and the metering backbone for Own360 itself. A Redis-backed quota service tracks utilisation, budgets, and anomalies per tenant and per app, and meters the AI runtime from OwnIQ usage events.

What changes

In week one. Not year one.

01

Idle licences and shelfware surface on the utilisation view before the renewal invoice arrives.

02

Runaway consumption trips a budget alert in real time instead of a surprise at month-end.

03

Every OwnIQ call is metered per tenant, so AI spend is attributable from day one.

And the Zylo renewal stops being a line item — the replacement is an asset you own. Run your numbers →

CAPABILITIES

Key Capabilities

Quota Service

Atomic Redis counters with TTL buckets enforce per-app, per-tenant limits in real time.

Cost & Utilisation

Track spend and usage across every connected app, surfacing idle seats and shelfware.

Anomaly Alerts

Detect runaway consumption and budget breaches before the invoice arrives.

Cohort Metering

Every OwnIQ chat or embedding request emits a usage event on the bus — billing meters it per tenant.

Budgets

Per-entity budgets with thresholds, alerts, and trend views.

BUILT FOR

Who it’s for

CFO / FinOps

See utilisation, budget burn, and anomalies across every app — kill the 50%+ of licences nobody uses.

Platform Owner

Set per-app, per-tenant quotas and get alerted before consumption blows the budget.

Billing

Meter the AI runtime accurately — every OwnIQ call is a usage event, attributed per tenant.

Perpetual Licence

OwnUsage is available as a perpetual licence. You own the software forever. Deploy on your infrastructure. No annual renewals, no per-seat pricing, no vendor lock-in. Prefer OpEx? A managed subscription is available too — switch between the two anytime, nothing to re-buy.

Headless by contract

Every screen here also works without the screen.

OwnUsage implements the Own360 headless spec: a standard /api/v1 surface with OpenAPI, cursor pagination, idempotent writes, and entity.changed events — drivable from its own CLI, any HTTP client, MCP tools generated straight from its OpenAPI, and the OwnAgents runtime.

$ ownusage entities            # 6 entities
$ ownusage meter list --limit 20
$ ownusage meter create --data '{…}'
$ ownusage domain ingest

The generated OwnUsage CLI — every entity and domain op, OwnAuth-authenticated, idempotent by default.
