Cloud cost management features for AWS, Azure and GCP Built for teams who take cloud costs seriously
Xplorr gives engineering and finance a shared language for cloud costs, without requiring a data warehouse, BI tool, or engineering sprint to set up.
Explore
A page for every feature
Each one says where the data comes from, how the number is worked out, and what is actually on the screen.
Cost Analysis
Month to date against the same days last month, not a part month against a whole one.
Compare
Two periods or two accounts side by side, with the change attributed per service.
Cost Allocation
Split spend by tag, team and environment, and see what will not split.
Unit Economics
Cost per customer, order or request, charted against the spend behind it.
Kubernetes
Cluster cost by namespace, controller, pod and label, with idle kept separate.
Commitments
Coverage, utilization, unused commitment and what expires when.
Recommendations
Idle, oversized and orphaned resources, each with its evidence.
Anomaly Detection
Every service compared against its own baseline, with no thresholds to set.
Forecasting
A linear regression to month end, with its own accuracy reported.
Budgets
Spend to date, what is left, and a projection that flags an overrun early.
Network Costs
Egress, NAT, cross region and peering pulled back into one total.
AI Spend
OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock and Azure OpenAI beside the cloud bill.
Invoices
Provider invoices matched against synced cost, variance explained.
Carbon
Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions next to the cost that produced them.
Savings Coverage
What is covered, what is on demand, and what could still be.
Realized Savings
Before and after daily cost, so a saving is measured rather than claimed.
Approvals
A decision, with a reason, between a recommendation and a change.
Alerts
One triage queue for anomalies, budgets and the rules you set.
Tag Governance
Required tags and allowed values, scored per policy and per account.
Teams and Tags
Cost categories, virtual tags and ordered rules where first match wins.
Rebilling
Shared cost splitting and a markup per team or customer.
Reports
Preview a date range on screen, then export CSV, Excel or PDF.
Saved Views
Keep a filter set, pin the ones you use, share the rest.

Read only connections, per account sync, and your FOCUS billing export as a source.
Cost Sources
AI, observability and warehouse spend in the same totals.
Resource Inventory
What actually exists, not only what appeared on the bill.
Data Health
Empty syncs, stale data and missing days, before you trust a chart.
Integrations
Jira issues, ServiceNow change requests and signed webhooks.

AI analysis complete
Analysed 30 days of spend across 3 providers.
Top finding:
"EC2 in us-east-1 is the largest line on the bill and its daily cost has been steady for 30 days. A Compute Savings Plan sized to that baseline would bill it at a lower rate."

Every day at 09:00 UTC, Xplorr posts a cost digest to your Slack channel: the last complete day's spend against its 7 day average, top services, anomalies, budget status, and the month end forecast. Every Monday at 09:00 UTC, leadership gets an AI-written summary of the last seven complete days against the seven before.
- Proactive: no one needs to ask or check a dashboard
- AI-generated executive insights (GPT-4o) on weekly summaries
- Budget progress bars, trend arrows, and forecast projections

Budget: Production
Digests in more than one channel
The daily digest and the Monday summary can post to several Slack channels at once, set up with the Xplorr team during the beta. Alerts go to one channel per workspace. Per team scoping, so a channel sees only its own accounts, tags or services, is in development.
- Digest and weekly summary in every configured channel
- Anomaly, budget and credit alerts in the workspace channel

How it works
What you can check for yourself
Xplorr is in beta and does not publish customer outcome figures it cannot source. These are properties of the product instead, each visible in the console on your own accounts.
Read only by design
Xplorr connects with read only credentials and has no permission to create, change or delete anything in your accounts.
Five providers in one total
AWS, Azure and GCP alongside OpenAI and Anthropic, so a single figure covers infrastructure and model spend together.
Useful on the first sync
Connecting an account pulls 30 days of cost data straight away, so there is a trend to read before you have waited a month.
Reads the open billing standard
Point a connected AWS, Azure or Google Cloud account at the FOCUS billing export your cloud already writes, and Xplorr reads it: the FinOps Foundation format, with the same columns on every cloud.
