What is StackSpend?

StackSpend is a cloud and AI cost management platform that connects to AWS, GCP (Google Cloud), Azure, Snowflake, Vercel, ClickHouse Cloud, OpenAI, Anthropic, Cursor, GitHub, Hugging Face, Grok (xAI), and Twilio. It provides unified spend visibility, daily anomaly alerts, budget forecasting, and Slack or email delivery for engineering and FinOps teams. Setup takes 5 minutes with read-only credentials, and 90 days of historical data loads automatically. Plans start from $19/month with a free 14-day trial that doubles as a cost health audit of your stack.

Setup time
5 min

per provider, read-only access

01

Connect in 5 minutes

Read-only credentials. AWS, GCP, Azure, Snowflake, Vercel, ClickHouse Cloud, OpenAI, Anthropic, Cursor, GitHub, Hugging Face, Grok (xAI), Twilio, and more.

02

90 days of history, instantly

Trends, anomalies, and spend drivers — no waiting, no manual exports.

03

Daily cost in Slack

One message. Runway, guardrail status, alerts. Always on track.

Intelligence built in

AI that automates spend control.

StackSpend does more than collect cloud and AI costs. It classifies spend, forecasts budgets, detects anomalies, recommends savings, and creates the engineering actions needed to keep teams on track.

Cost control moves from manual analysis and month-end surprises to a daily operating loop your teams can actually use.

Signal · the agent

Ask, and it answers with receipts.

Multi-step analysis with cited figures. Actions only after you confirm. Board summaries on demand, in your currency.

  • “Why did spend spike?” — answered with the exact numbers.
  • “Draft the board summary” — a copy-ready artifact, self-serve.
  • Every write action waits for your confirmation.
Forecasting

ML forecasts you can footnote.

A time-series model (Prophet) with confidence bands and a days-to-risk date — per provider and org-wide.

Anomaly detection

Baselines, not guesswork.

Statistical baselines per provider and service; deviations scored and ranked by severity the same day.

Auto-categorization

Every line item, classified.

Known services map instantly; unknown ones are classified by an LLM with a confidence score — and the mapping is learned for next time.

Free cost risk audit

See where your spend is leaking — before the next invoice.

You can't fix the cost risk you can't see — and every day it runs unchecked, it's still billing. Run a free audit: connect your providers with read-only access and StackSpend surfaces the spikes, unguarded budgets, and runaway costs across your cloud and AI stack, so you catch them before the next invoice lands.

Free. No credit card. Findings the same day.

Where you're exposed

  • Total spend across your whole stack
  • Anomalies hiding in the last 90 days
  • Providers and services missing a budget
  • A prioritised savings shortlist
Embedded Cost Control

Where engineers already work.

Alerts land in Slack. Work lands in Linear and Jira, assigned like any other ticket. Engineers keep their tools — StackSpend just shows up in them.

  • Zero new logins. Nothing to remember to check.
  • Spikes arrive as assigned tickets — close the ticket, the anomaly resolves.
  • Rollout is one read-only key and a channel pick. No training, no migration.

Common questions

FAQ

What is StackSpend?
StackSpend is a cloud and AI cost management platform that connects to AWS, GCP (Google Cloud), Azure, Snowflake, Vercel, ClickHouse Cloud, OpenAI, Anthropic, Cursor, GitHub, Hugging Face, Grok (xAI), and Twilio. It provides unified spend visibility, daily anomaly alerts, budget forecasting, and Slack or email delivery for engineering and FinOps teams. Setup takes 5 minutes with read-only credentials, and 90 days of historical data loads automatically. Plans start from $19/month with a 14-day free trial.
How do I track OpenAI API costs?
Connect your OpenAI API key to StackSpend with read-only access. We pull daily spend data, load 90 days of history, and send a Slack or email digest each morning. You can set budget thresholds and receive anomaly alerts when spend spikes above your baseline.
How can I monitor Anthropic API costs?
StackSpend connects to the Anthropic API using a read-only key. Once connected, you get daily spend breakdowns, 90-day history, budget tracking, and Slack delivery. Anomaly alerts fire when Claude API spend jumps unexpectedly.
How do I get alerted about unexpected AWS charges?
StackSpend integrates with AWS Cost Explorer via read-only IAM credentials. It tracks daily spend per service, detects usage anomalies that exceed your historical baseline, and sends alerts via Slack, email, or webhook before the invoice arrives.
What is AI COGS and how do I track it?
AI COGS (Cost of Goods Sold) is the inference cost embedded in your SaaS product — the OpenAI, Anthropic, or Bedrock spend that goes into each user interaction or feature. StackSpend lets you tag costs by feature, team, or customer so you can calculate gross margin per product line and monitor how AI inference affects unit economics.
Which cloud and AI providers does StackSpend support?
StackSpend supports AWS, GCP (Google Cloud), Azure, Snowflake, Vercel, ClickHouse Cloud, OpenAI, Anthropic, Cursor, GitHub, Hugging Face, Grok (xAI), and Twilio. Each integrates via read-only credentials or billing exports. New providers are added regularly.
Does StackSpend have an API, webhooks, and MCP?
Yes. StackSpend includes a REST API for line items, daily rollups, provider totals, and anomaly alerts. Webhooks can send anomaly and budget events to your own endpoint, and the MCP guide lets Claude Code query StackSpend cost data from natural language.
How much does StackSpend cost?
StackSpend plans start from $19/month, with a free 14-day trial and no credit card required. The trial doubles as a free 14-day cost health audit of your stack — connect your providers and get full visibility before committing to a paid plan. Visit the pricing page for full plan details.
How long does setup take?
About 5 minutes per provider. You connect with read-only credentials, verify the connection, and StackSpend automatically loads up to 90 days of historical data. Daily updates run on a schedule — no manual exports required.
Can I ask StackSpend questions about my spend?
Yes. StackSpend includes a Cost Intelligence Agent — an in-app AI cost analyst. Ask in plain English ("what drove our bill up this week?", "are we on track against budget?", "draft a board summary") and it answers in seconds with cited figures across every connected provider, and can take confirmed actions like acknowledging an anomaly or creating a budget. It is the FinOps analyst smaller teams don't have to hire.
Can StackSpend show costs in GBP or EUR?
Yes. Most providers bill in USD, but StackSpend converts spend using historical exchange rates and lets you set budgets and view reports in your organisation's preferred currency — USD, GBP, EUR, and more — so finance sees a number that maps to how the business is actually run.
Does StackSpend integrate with Linear or Jira?
Yes. StackSpend syncs two-way with Linear and Jira: cost anomalies and FinOps tasks become tickets assigned to the owning engineer, and status changes mirror both ways — so cost work is handled where the team already works, not in a separate dashboard.

Bring your stack. See your spend clearly.

Setup takes minutes. Connect providers, get 90 days of visibility, and start receiving daily cost updates before the invoice lands.
