Eliminate surprises on your SaaS bills.

RunRateIQ pulls read-only vendor usage daily so budget risk shows up before the invoice does. Finance, procurement, and engineering can see what changed by vendor, SKU, and day.

Usage trend chart by vendor
Ensure your vendors are billing you accurately.

Usage from vendor APIs is mapped against contract terms instead of accepted as a black-box bill. Teams can flag mismatched pacing, unexpected SKU movement, and budget pressure while there is still time to investigate.

Budget rules and alert chart
Renew and renegotiate with the data you need.

Contract burndown and usage patterns show whether a commitment is pacing ahead, behind, or on track. Renewal conversations start from observed behavior, not anecdotes or late-stage pressure.

Usage trends without waiting for the invoice

Select a vendor and SKU to inspect consumption changes, then connect the signal to contract and budget action.

Signal Daily
Data -> Insights -> Actions Read-only API usage becomes contract-aware guidance.

RunRateIQ pulls directly from vendor usage endpoints, then calculates billing and pacing from the contracts you manage.

Insight Spot the SKU or vendor driving the change.

Granularity helps finance, procurement, and engineering talk about the same fact pattern.

Action Decide whether to tune, alert, or prepare renewal terms.

Usage becomes an operating signal, not a late-month surprise.

See spend risk before the invoice arrives.

Daily read-only usage pulls give finance, procurement, and engineering time to investigate, tune, and act before budget pressure shows up as an invoice.

Interactive model

Forecast the contract before renewal pressure takes over.

Burndown shows ideal versus actual consumption so teams can see shortfall, overrun, and early renewal risk.

Burndown

Know whether the commitment is pacing ahead, behind, or on track.

Inspect the difference between ideal burn and actual burn before the renewal window gets compressed.

Current signal Usage is behind the ideal burn path. Start renewal and tuning conversations early.

Actual vs ideal remaining commitment

Ideal remaining Actual remaining
$40k $30k $20k $10k $0

The baseline still holds.

January usage is close enough to the negotiated ramp that the current contract shape remains defensible.

Ideal remaining $40.0k
Actual remaining $37.4k
Variance to ideal +3%
Suggested action Hold current structure
Forecasting problem Teams should not discover commitment risk at renewal time.

The highlighted middle months are where there is still time to adjust usage, budgets, or contract posture.

Renewal action Usage evidence makes the conversation more defensible.

Teams can separate vendor value from contract shape and negotiate from observed behavior.
