How does Economize detect cloud cost anomalies?

It learns what normal spend looks like for each account and service, weekday by weekday, and flags any day that breaks well away from it. AI then explains what caused it.

How soon after a cost spike will I be alerted?

As soon as that day's billing data is complete, usually within 24 to 48 hours. Waiting for complete data means half-loaded days never set off false alerts.

How is this different from AWS Cost Anomaly Detection or Google Cloud's anomaly alerts?

One engine covers AWS, Google Cloud and Azure, so you get one ranked list across clouds. It also catches cost drops and new spend, and explains each anomaly in plain words.

Does it need an agent or extra permissions?

No. It uses the same agentless billing connection as the rest of Economize, which takes about 5 minutes to set up.

01 — SPIKES, DROPS AND NEW SPEND

Catch it before the bill does

Economize checks every provider, account and service each time fresh billing data lands, across AWS, Google Cloud and Azure. Spikes, drops and brand-new spend each get their own alert, ranked by what they've cost so far.

Flags spikes, cost drops and new spend on any account or service

Ranked by cumulative dollar impact, with Critical, High, Medium and Low severity

Drops count as a risk: a backup or pipeline may have quietly stopped

02 — AI EXPLANATION

Every spike, explained

AI writes what happened, what it cost and which line item drove it, straight from your billing data, in three plain sentences. Unexpected cloud costs come with next steps you can take today, and you can ask Economize AI for more.

03 — SMART BASELINE

All signal, no noise

We learns what normal looks like for each account and service, weekday by weekday, over the last 56 days. Cloud spend anomaly alerts fire only when a day is unusual, over a dollar floor and at least 25% above expected.

Weekend dips and batch jobs don't trigger alerts

Taxes, credits, refunds and one-time purchases stay out of the baseline

Stay on top of your cloud expenses like a pro

04 — TRIAGE

Resolve it, or make it the new normal

Work through anomalies in Active, Resolved and Archived tabs, and mark any spike as expected. If higher spend holds for seven days, Economize treats it as a level shift and stops alerting on it.

Band, Deviation and Service views, filtered by project or account

Mark expected, resolve or archive; untouched anomalies archive after 30 days

Export the anomaly list to CSV for finance

AI COST OPTIMIZATION

Your AI bill, next to your cloud bill

Model spend sits in five different consoles. Economize puts OpenAI, Anthropic, Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex AI and Azure OpenAI next to your clouds, down to the cost of a single call.
