Everything you need to manage cloud costs
From live pricing and anomaly detection to chargeback invoices and FOCUS export — Rateplane covers every layer of the FinOps stack, free to start.
Price Intelligence
Always-fresh pricing data from official cloud provider APIs
60,000+ SKUs across AWS, Azure, and GCP — updated daily from official pricing APIs. Search, filter, and compare in seconds.
Full coverage for GPU instances, Arm-based compute (Graviton, Ampere), and high-memory workloads across all three providers.
30-day spot price history with volatility scores. See real-time discount vs on-demand and identify the most stable spot pools.
Set target prices per instance type and region. Get notified via email or Slack the moment a price crosses your threshold.
Compare equivalent instance types across AWS, Azure, and GCP with normalized vCPU, RAM, and $/vCPU metrics side by side.
Spend Management
Real-time visibility into where every dollar is going
Connect AWS Cost Explorer, Azure Cost Management, and GCP Billing Export. One unified spend view, updated daily.
ML-powered spike detection that fires within hours of an unusual cost event — not at month-end when it's too late to act.
Set budgets per team, account, tag, or service. Get alerts at 50%, 80%, and 100% thresholds via Slack or email.
30/60/90-day spend forecasts with confidence intervals based on your actual historical trend — not guesswork.
Cost Optimization
Find and eliminate waste before it shows up on your invoice
Automatically identifies idle instances, unattached volumes, unused elastic IPs, and over-provisioned resources across your accounts.
Powered by actual CPU and memory utilization data. See projected savings per resource with one-click Terraform output.
Coverage and utilization analysis for Reserved Instances and Savings Plans. Find gaps, waste, and optimal purchase recommendations.
Define automated start/stop schedules for non-production environments. Save up to 70% on dev and staging environments.
Define governance rules that flag or block non-compliant resource configurations. Enforce standards before resources spin up.
Cost Allocation
Know exactly which team, product, or customer is driving spend
Allocate costs by any combination of cloud tags across all three providers. Handle multi-tag hierarchies with percentage splits.
Apply business dimensions retroactively to untagged or mis-tagged resources — no infrastructure changes required.
Generate per-team or per-business-unit invoices with markup rules, discount pass-through, and PDF/CSV export.
Create logical groupings of resources that span accounts, regions, and providers for business-aligned cost views.
Reporting & Analytics
Dashboards and exports for every stakeholder
Drag-and-drop dashboard builder with 20+ widget types. Save and share views per team with role-based access control.
FinOps Open Cost and Usage Specification export for ERP, data warehouse, or BI tool integration. Industry-standard format.
See how your cloud efficiency compares to similar companies by industry, size, and cloud mix — anonymized peer data.
Unit cost trending over time — cost per user, per transaction, per API call. Correlate spend with business growth.
Share live report links with stakeholders who don't have a Rateplane account. No login required, no data exposure.
Integrations & API
Fits into the tools your team already uses
Datadog, Grafana, Jira, GitHub, PagerDuty, Terraform, Pulumi, and more. Connect your full infrastructure and DevOps stack.
Full programmatic access to pricing data, spend analytics, and recommendations. Rate limits generous enough for CI/CD pipelines.
Real-time event webhooks for budget breaches, anomalies, and policy violations. Build custom automation on top of Rateplane events.
Export any table, report, or spend view to CSV in one click. Schedule recurring exports to S3, Azure Blob, or GCS.
Route budget alerts, anomalies, and weekly digests to any Slack channel or Microsoft Teams workspace.
