CostRevealCost attribution for AI, cloud, & API spend
CostReveal reads the bills of your AI, cloud and API providers, attributes every cost to the team, feature or customer behind it, and shows how sure each figure is. Including the part it cannot explain yet.

One view across the AI, cloud and APIs you already run.
And any other vendor’s bill, as FOCUS files you upload or send on a schedule.
The problem
Cost tools report totals with confidence they have not earned. Finance stops trusting the numbers, and engineering stops looking at them.

A short walkthrough of how a month of spend becomes cost per team, feature and customer, with the evidence behind each figure.
The product
Every cost lands on the team, feature, service, model, customer or user behind it, from the tags, labels and usage data you already have, and any dimension of your own, such as environment. Group by any of them from one page.
How much spend is explained, and the one change that would explain the most of the rest.
90 percent explained. Tag the untagged EC2 instances in us-east-1 to explain about $25,000 more.
Four labels, from measured to unknown. Finance knows what will hold, and engineering knows what to improve.
Measured exactly, from the provider itself.
A strong existing signal, such as a tag, pointed to it.
A shared cost split by a rule you can inspect.
Not yet explained. Shown, never hidden, with what would explain it.
A cluster, a database, a support contract: shared costs are allocated by a rule you choose and can inspect, and never folded into one team's number.
Budgets per project, provider, service, team, feature, customer, user or view, with alerts by email and Slack as spend nears each limit, and cost spikes that name the team, account or workload that drove them, so the people who own it decide what happens next.
90 percent used. The team was alerted at 80 percent.
How it works
Setup connects your billing data, and CostReveal only ever reads it. Everything after it builds on evidence you already produce.
Step 01
Each provider through its own billing export or usage API. No SDK, no code changes, and CostReveal only ever reads.
Minutes to connect; first figures within minutes to a day, as each provider reports
Step 02
Costs are matched to teams, features and customers from tags, labels, the owners you name and usage data. Each figure records the signal it came from.
Tags, labels and usage data you already have
Step 03
Coverage shows what is explained and what is not, and the one next step that would explain the most of the rest.

Reconciliation
Every period, what CostReveal attributed adds up to the lines the provider billed, and those are checked against the provider's own total wherever it states one. Nothing is added and nothing goes missing.
Reconciled. Difference $0.00
For every team
Close the month on figures you can defend in front of the CFO and the auditor.

Security
Each organization is separated by PostgreSQL row level security, enforced below the application and verified every time the service starts.
Credentials are read only wherever the provider offers it, and encrypted with AES-256-GCM. Where a provider offers nothing narrower, as with an OpenAI or Anthropic admin key, the setup says so, and CostReveal only ever reads billing and usage with it.
SAML single sign on, two step verification you can require of everyone, and sessions you can review and end from any device.
Invitations, access and settings changes are recorded as they happen, with data export and erasure for every person.
Pricing
Start with a free trial on your own spend. Each plan covers your spend up to its limit for one fixed price, so a busy month never changes the bill.

Read access to billing and usage data, through each provider’s own mechanism: a Cost and Usage Report read through a read only role for AWS, a service principal for Azure, a service account for Google Cloud, an Admin API key for OpenAI or Anthropic. AWS access cannot create, change or delete anything. OpenAI and Anthropic do not let an admin key be limited to reading, so CostReveal says so before asking for one, only ever reads with it, and stores it encrypted.
No. Attribution starts from what you already have: billing exports, resource tags, the owners you name for workspaces, and Kubernetes labels. Where only your application knows which customer or feature a call was for, it can send that as OpenTelemetry usage data, which most applications already export; CostReveal shows how much spend it would explain, and you decide.
Every month is checked: the ledger built from your billing lines against the attribution on every dimension, which must agree exactly, and against the provider’s own total wherever the provider offers one. A closed month that differs is shown as a variance, never adjusted silently, and an open month is marked pending until the invoice closes.
It is shown as Unknown, with its amount and the single change that would explain the most of it. It is never spread across teams to make a report look complete.
Each organization is isolated by PostgreSQL row level security, enforced in the database below the application, and verified every time the service starts.
A 7 day free trial, then Starter at $99, Pro at $299 or Enterprise from $999 a month, per organization. Paid yearly, Starter is $990 and Pro $2,990: two months free. Each plan is a fixed price that covers spend up to its limit, never a percentage of your bill.
Connect a provider, read only wherever it allows, and see your spend attributed, with the basis on every figure. The first 7 days are free.
