Azure cost analysis from a CSV

Azure Cost Management can export usage and charges to CSV. A CSV review is a quick way to see where spend goes without connecting a tool to your subscription.

  1. In Cost Management, export usage and charges for a month.
  2. Download the CSV.
  3. Group by resource group and meter category.
  4. Check for idle VMs, unattached managed disks and unused public IPs.

Try it on your own bill

CloudCostAI reads a billing export file (AWS Cost and Usage Report, GCP billing export or Azure usage CSV) and returns findings with fix steps. It needs no access to your cloud account. Free: one report a month. Pro $29/month, Team $99/month, or a one-time audit for $179 (current plans, checked 2026-10-27).

Findings are estimates from billing lines, not utilisation metrics. Check each one against usage and service needs before changing anything.
