Cloud cost visibility for AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and DigitalOcean
See every cloud resource, what it costs, and what you can turn off.
Connect your cloud accounts with read-only access. Cloud Spend Guard maps every resource with its cost, flags what's sitting idle, and gives you the exact command to clean it up.
Free plan available. No credit card required.
Works with
- AWS
- Microsoft Azure
- Google Cloud
- DigitalOcean
How it works
From connection to your first findings in minutes.
- 1
Connect
Launch a CloudFormation stack in AWS, or add a read-only token or key for Azure, Google Cloud or DigitalOcean. It takes a few minutes.
- 2
Snapshot
Cloud Spend Guard discovers your resources every day and reads their cost from your own billing data.
- 3
Clean up
See everything on a map, find what is Idle, and copy the command that removes it. You stay in control of every change.
Everything you pay for, in one place
Stop digging through billing consoles. See what you run, what it costs, and what you can remove.
A map of your cloud
Regions, networks, subnets and the resources inside them, each with what it costs this month.
Idle detection
Unattached volumes, stopped instances, unused IP addresses, load balancers with no targets. Each with the reason and the date it became Idle.
Recommendations you can run
What to do, why, what it saves a month, and the exact aws, az, gcloud or doctl command. You run it; we never change anything.
Changes
Every Snapshot is compared with the one before: what is new, what was deleted, and what became Idle.
Totals that match your bill
Tax, support and data transfer are shown separately as Unattributed Cost, so the numbers add up to your invoice.
Ask in plain English
Sam, our built-in AI assistant, answers questions from your data. Or connect Claude Code and other MCP clients with an API key.
Read-only by design
You are giving us a look inside your cloud. Here is how we keep that safe.
View-only access
On AWS we use the ViewOnlyAccess policy: we see your resources and their cost, not the contents of your buckets, tables or parameters.
We never change anything
Recommendations come with commands you run yourself. Cloud Spend Guard does not modify, stop or delete anything in your account.
Billing data stays in your account
On AWS the Cost Export is delivered to a bucket in your own account, and we read it from there.
Secrets encrypted, keys hashed
Tokens and keys you give us are stored encrypted. API keys are stored only as a hash.

A note from our founder
"I've spent more than twelve years designing and running production systems. Cloud Spend Guard is the tool I always wanted: read-only, numbers that match the bill, and a clear next step for every dollar you don't need to spend."

Frequently asked questions
What access do you need?
On AWS, a role with the ViewOnlyAccess policy and a few permissions to read the Cost Export, created by a CloudFormation stack you launch and can read first. On Azure, Google Cloud and DigitalOcean, a read-only service principal, service account key or personal access token.
Can Cloud Spend Guard change or delete anything?
No. We only read. Recommendations include the command to run, and you decide whether to run it.
Will it add to my cloud bill?
On AWS, the setup creates a Cost Export and a bucket in your account to hold it, which usually costs a few cents a month. We do not call paid APIs such as Cost Explorer.
Which clouds are supported?
AWS accounts, Azure subscriptions, Google Cloud projects and DigitalOcean teams. Cost for Google Cloud projects is not read yet; their resources and Idle detection work today.
Where is my data stored?
In AWS, in the us-east-1 (N. Virginia) region.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes. Cancel from your Account page and Pro stays active until the end of the period you paid for. The Free plan has no time limit.
