Cloud and SaaS cost questions, answered

Yes. Costanalyst connects with least-privilege, read-only credentials and encrypts your data in transit and at rest. We request the minimum read scopes, like an AWS Cost Explorer and Cost and Usage Report read role, and you can revoke access at any time. See our security page for the full posture.

No. Costanalyst is read-only. It requests the minimum read scopes to see your billing and usage, and read-only admin or API access to your SaaS tools. It cannot change anything in your environment, resize an instance, or cancel a subscription. It shows you the recommendation, and your team acts.

Never. We do not process payments, hold funds, pay invoices, or touch your cards. Costanalyst is an analyst: it reads your spend, finds the savings, and shows you the recommendation. Every action happens in your own accounts, by your own team.

No. Costanalyst is decision-support tooling. Its recommendations are computed from your real usage and billing data, and they are for a human on your team to review and decide. It is not financial, tax, or accounting advice.

Cloud billing for AWS, GCP, and Azure, and SaaS subscriptions through read-only admin and API access or expense and SSO data. The point is to see cloud cost and software spend in one view, attributed the same way.

Recommendations are computed from your real usage and billing data, and every one is shown with the underlying line items so you can verify it before acting. You always see the math. A savings card like 3,420 dollars per month of idle RDS instances comes with the specific resources behind it.

The analysis runs as soon as your first source is connected. Savings opportunities and anomalies surface in the first pass, not after a month of learning. Most teams see their first quantified savings within minutes of connecting.

No. Costanalyst does the grunt work, pulling, tagging, spotting waste and spikes, so your people spend time deciding rather than rebuilding spreadsheets. It makes a finance or FinOps person far more effective, it does not replace their judgment.

Yes. Costanalyst unifies AWS, GCP, and Azure in one view, and Kubernetes and container cost allocation is available on the Scale plan, mapped by namespace, team, and workload.

Transparent self-serve pricing: Starter is 99 dollars per month, Growth is 299 dollars per month and is the most popular tier, Scale is 799 dollars per month, and Enterprise is custom. Prices are billed yearly by default, with no credit card required to start. It often pays for itself the first time it finds an idle box or an unused seat.
