Detailed Review
Exivity is a company with two products that answer a question most FinOps dashboards skip: what should each customer or internal consumer be charged? Hypermeter allocates cloud, private infrastructure and AI spend, while Exivity Core collects usage and applies customer-specific rates in your own environment.
The vendor lists HPE, Dell, Nutanix and Morpheus as partners, which hints at its roots in datacentre and service-provider estates rather than only in startup cloud bills.
From usage to a charge
The product's worked example traces OpenTelemetry GenAI spans, provider usage exports and cloud billing through to cost per result. For hybrid estates, metering feeds contract-specific rates so that the output can go into a billing process.
Unallocated and shared costs remain visible instead of being spread silently.
Two ways to run it
Hypermeter is SaaS. Exivity Core stays inside your environment, and the pages describe using either on its own or connecting them where your data policy allows. That split suits organisations that must keep usage records on their own infrastructure.
Buying models
There is no price list. The pricing page describes a flat all-in licence, tiered options, multi-year commitments, perpetual licensing and pay-as-you-go, and routes every buyer to a quote form.
Limitations to Consider
No prices are published, so budgeting needs a sales call. The pages we read describe allocation, chargeback and billing, and they do not describe automated rightsizing or commitment purchasing. The metering and billing side is more than a team with a single AWS account needs, and the data region for Hypermeter is not stated on the pages checked.
Who Should Use Exivity
Managed service providers, hosting companies and enterprises with VMware or Kubernetes estates that bill internal customers. A startup wanting dashboards in an afternoon is better served by Holori or Costory.
