Harness CCM: Subscription Plans

Harness offers two primary licensing tiers for Cloud Cost Management: Free Forever and Enterprise.

**If Your Cloud Spend Exceeds $250K/month**, you must upgrade to an Enterprise plan. The Free Forever plan is limited to organizations with less than$ 250K/month in cloud spend.
