What it is

CloudZero is a web and API platform that links AI and cloud spending to business outcomes for finance, engineering, and IT teams. It organizes costs by dimensions such as customer, feature, and product, whether or not tags are present. Explorer supports spend analysis, spike investigation, and per-outcome economics. Streaming telemetry captures AI calls as they occur and supports attribution to customers, products, transactions, and P&L. AI anomaly detection establishes normal spending and alerts on spikes without manual tuning. Budgets and forecasts are included. Integrations cover AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, Snowflake, Anthropic, OpenAI, Datadog, Databricks, MongoDB, and New Relic. The AnyCost API and common data model ingest billing and usage data without an official connector. CloudZero says data is encrypted at rest and in motion and partitioned by customer. Pricing is on request, with tiered pricing and no monthly overages.
