The plans
What IBM Apptio Costing charges
IBM Software lists Costing Essentials at US$80,040 and Costing Standard at US$110,040 for a 12-month contract on AWS Marketplace. Your bill is based on the edition and its technology-spend allowance, with additional fees possible above that allowance and private offers or other charges able to differ.
Costing Essentials
US$80,040 for 12 months
IBM describes Essentials as a prescriptive allocation framework, with the listed contract covering up to US$25,000,000 of technology spend.
Costing Standard
US$110,040 for 12 months
IBM positions Standard for more customisable, consumption-based allocation, with the listed contract covering up to US$25,000,000 of technology spend.
How the bill is built
Annual contract edition
IBM Software lists Essentials at US$80,040 and Standard at US$110,040 for 12 months on AWS Marketplace. The edition you choose sets the listed contract price, and IBM describes the two editions differently.
Technology-spend allowance
Each listed contract covers up to US$25,000,000 of technology spend. The AWS Marketplace listing says additional fees apply above that allowance, so the amount may rise if your covered spend goes beyond the stated limit.
Private offers and charges
These are public contract prices, not a verified New Zealand or Australian customer invoice. The listing says private offers and additional charges can differ, so your signed agreement may show a different total.
Costing and Planning bundle
IBM also offers a Costing and Planning bundle. The listing does not give a separate bundle price, so check your agreement to confirm whether planning is included and which capabilities your team is paying for.
A year of IBM Apptio Costing
Listed cost for 12 months
The public 12-month listing is US$80,040 for Essentials or US$110,040 for Standard, and each covers up to US$25,000,000 of technology spend. These are listed contract prices, not verified New Zealand or Australian customer invoices. The listing says additional fees apply above the allowance, while private offers and other charges can differ. Your agreement determines the amount you pay.
Underneath the bill
What you are really paying for
Prescriptive allocation
IBM describes Essentials as a prescriptive allocation framework. The contract price is attached to that edition, which gives you IBM's defined approach to allocating technology costs.
Consumption-based allocation
IBM positions Standard for more customisable, consumption-based allocation. Its 12-month listed price is higher than Essentials, and the edition is intended for teams that need that allocation approach.
Cost model and reporting
Apptio combines financial and operational information with allocation models and reporting. That means you are paying for the system that brings those inputs into a cost model and produces reporting, not only an annual contract label.
