Harness Cloud Cost Management

What it is
Harness Cloud Cost Management is a web service for tracking and managing spending across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. It provides cost allocation, budget alerts, spend forecasting, rightsizing guidance, and commitment management. The billing model is based on tracked cloud spend. The Free Plan costs nothing and includes community support. The paid Cloud Cost Management plan has pricing on request, with fees charged as percentages of tracked spend: Cloud Cost Insights is 1% of total tracked cloud spend; Commitment Orchestrator and Autostopping are 1.25% for specified spend; and Cluster Orchestrator is 2% of tracked Kubernetes cloud spend. Harness was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California. The service is offered on the web and uses a freemium pricing model, so organizations can begin with the free tier before requesting paid pricing for broader cost-management capabilities.
