AWS Cost and Usage Report (CUR) analyzer

The AWS Cost and Usage Report is the most detailed bill AWS provides. A CUR analyzer reads it and summarises where money goes and what looks wasteful.

Getting a CUR file

  1. In the AWS Billing console, create a data export (Cost and Usage Report).
  2. Choose CSV output delivered to an S3 bucket.
  3. Download a recent month’s file.
  4. Upload it to an analyzer that accepts CUR CSV.

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.
