Cost insights

Find the change before it disappears into the monthly total

Cost insights highlight significant movements, growing services, and anomalies across AWS and Azure. Detailed investigation workflows are planned for Optimize.

The signal problem

A larger total does not explain itself

Change hides inside aggregation

A stable headline can conceal one fast-growing service while unrelated decreases offset it.

Alerts lack context

A threshold can say that spend moved without showing the service, period, and comparison behind the signal.

Ownership comes too late

By the time a spreadsheet reaches the right team, the change is harder to connect to operational work.

Insight anatomy

What keeps a signal useful

An insight identifies where to look. It does not claim a root cause that the product has not established.

  1. The provider and service where the movement appeared
  2. The comparison period used to calculate the change
  3. The cost impact shown in the workspace currency
  4. A path into the cost rows that contributed
  5. An explicit Planned label where investigation workflow is not yet available

Available now

A shorter path from signal to source

Significant changes

Surface material movements rather than asking readers to scan every line of the bill.

Growing services

Show which services are contributing more over the selected comparison period.

Anomaly context

Keep provider, service, time range, and cost impact with the signal.

Underlying cost detail

Move from the insight into grouped and filtered cost data to inspect what contributed.

Shared cost basis

Use the same normalized costs that feed views, budgets, allocation, and reports.

Detailed investigations

Planned for Optimize: a customer workflow for assigning, documenting, and resolving individual changes.

See which part of your cloud bill moved

Start free with AWS or Azure and inspect changes in the same workspace as your cost reports.
