Azure Cost Insights

Watch the Azure bill before it surprises you

Cross-tenant Azure spend, creep detection, and waste cleanup in one dashboard, with cost history that outlives the Microsoft API window.

A cost-flow view shows spend moving from service categories through resource groups to individual resources. Band width is the cost, so the shape of your bill is obvious at a glance.

Insights, not just numbers

The overview surfaces what changed and where the waste is, instead of leaving you to spot patterns in a table.

Figures below are illustrative examples, not real data.

Catch slow cost growth before the invoice does

A growth rate calculated by regression across your complete months, with a forecast of the yearly impact if the trend continues. Small monthly increases compound fast, and they are easy to miss without trend analysis.

Cost data, next to what changed

When a resource spikes, you can see if someone changed its configuration around the same time. Showing a VM costs more this month is useful. Showing that someone resized it last Tuesday is actionable. It is the same instinct behind configuration drift detection on the security side: a number changed, so show me what changed around it.

Three ways to read your spend

Trend

Average monthly cost with a regression line and growth rate.

Single month

A point-in-time snapshot with recent context for monthly reviews.

Compare

Two months side by side with delta badges to investigate a change.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from Azure Cost Analysis?

Azure Cost Analysis works one subscription at a time. Azure Cost Insights aggregates spend across every tenant and subscription you manage, keeps history beyond the Microsoft API window, and correlates cost changes with configuration activity so you see why a number moved.

Can it track spend across multiple subscriptions and tenants?

Yes. Connect the subscriptions you manage and drill from service category to resource group to individual resource and its billing meters, across all of them.

How far back is cost history kept?

Up to 60 months, configurable per tenant, so your analysis is not capped by the roughly 13-month Microsoft cost API retention window.
