Stop being surprised by the AWS invoice
Trend-aware monthly projection, budget-vs-actual at any scope, and mid-month variance alerts. So month-end is a confirmation, not a surprise.

How forecasting works
Trend-aware projection, not naive extrapolation
The forecast adapts to seasonal patterns, step changes, and commitment coverage — so the number you see this morning reflects today's reality, not last month's.
- 1
Trend-Aware Projection
Per-service projection built on rolling 90-day usage, calibrated for weekday vs weekend and end-of-month invoice patterns. Not naive linear extrapolation.
- 2
Run-Rate Adjustment
Detects step changes — a new account, a new region, a deployment that doubled traffic — and updates the projection within a day instead of waiting for averages to catch up.
- 3
Variance Signaling
Projected vs budgeted gap surfaces mid-month, not at invoice time. Threshold breach triggers email alert to the recipients you configure.
- 4
Commitment-Aware
Forecast accounts for active Reserved Instances and Savings Plans. You see the net invoice projection, not the gross on-demand cost.
Monthly Totals + Projection
Historical bars + a current-month run-rate bar + the next two projected months. The chart you'll look at before every budget meeting.

Budget vs. Actual, at any Scope
Set budgets per account, service, or tag. Projected column shows where you'll land — variance flags before month-end, not at invoice review.
| Scope | Budget | Actual (MTD) | Projected EOM | Variance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Production accounts | $10,000 | $6,420 | $11,200 | +12.0% |
| Staging + Dev | $2,500 | $1,380 | $2,480 | -0.8% |
| Data + Analytics | $1,500 | $930 | $1,640 | +9.3% |
| Shared services | $800 | $510 | $770 | -3.8% |
Reserved Instance / Savings Plan coverage
Commitment visibility is live today: the forecast accounts for active RIs and Savings Plans (so projections reflect net invoice cost), with coverage and utilization visible per service and account. Purchase recommendations — which commitments to buy next — are on the roadmap.

- Coverage % per service and account
- Utilization visibility per commitment

- Expiration calendar with renewal hints — on the roadmap

Frequently Asked Questions
- Typically within 5–10% of actual end-of-month spend for accounts with stable workloads. Accuracy degrades for accounts in rapid scale-up or with very lumpy batch workloads — both cases are clearly flagged on the forecast.
