AWS Billing and Cost Management vs Teevity

AWS Billing and Cost Management helps organizations handle AWS invoices and review, organize, forecast, and manage cloud costs. The Bills page provides downloadable invoices and detailed monthly billing data. Cost Explorer visualizes costs and usage over time, with filters and groupings such as account and service, and projects future costs from historical and current patterns. AWS Budgets can alert users when spending or usage thresholds are crossed or forecast to be crossed, and track Reservations and Savings Plans utilization and coverage. Cost Anomaly Detection identifies unusual spending and possible causes, with alerts sent individually or in daily or weekly summaries by SNS or email. Cost Categories sorts cost and usage data into customer-defined groupings and can be used with Cost Explorer, AWS Budgets, and the Cost and Usage Report. The service is listed at free, but some features have usage charges. Cost Explorer API requests cost $0.01 per primary billing view request or $0.01 per source for custom billing view requests. Hourly granularity has a 14-day lookback and applies to specified cost and usage data.

Teevity provides cloud usage analytics for AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. It brings bills from supported clouds into one dashboard and forecasts end-of-month costs. Dynamic Cost Explorer offers summary, detail, comparison, and reservations reports, while real-time classification can allocate spending to cost centers such as teams, projects, activity types, or countries. The documentation also lists global cost monitoring, cost and usage distribution, administrative automation, and financial and technical resource optimization. Integrations include Google BigQuery, Excel, Google Spreadsheet, and Dropbox. A REST API exposes features available in the web portal using JSON. Its CLI package includes a JAR and scripts for macOS, Linux, Unix, and Windows, and requires Java 8 or later. Dynamic Cost Explorer exports are currently CSV, with Time As Columns, Time As Lines, or Budget layouts. The free service includes high-level cost monitoring, a dashboard, and daily email. Paid plans listed include MSP, cloud reseller, and system integrator service from €99 a month, Enterprise Support at €399 a month, Enterprise at €999 a month, and Pro at €99,599 a month.
