A Vantage alternative for one-off bill reviews
If you need a one-off review of a cloud bill rather than an ongoing cost platform, a file-based audit can be a simpler alternative.
Platform or file-based audit?
- A connected cost platform suits ongoing dashboards, allocation and alerts.
- A file-based audit suits a periodic check with no account connection.

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.
