About

IBM Kubecost provides real-time cost visibility and insights for teams using Kubernetes, helping you continuously reduce your cloud costs. Breakdown costs by any Kubernetes concepts, including deployment, service, namespace label, and more. View costs across multiple clusters in a single view or via a single API endpoint. Join Kubernetes costs with any external cloud services or infrastructure spend to have a complete picture. External costs can be shared and then attributed to any Kubernetes concept for a comprehensive view of spend. Receive dynamic recommendations for reducing spend without sacrificing performance. Prioritize key infrastructure or application changes for improving resource efficiency and reliability. Quickly catch cost overruns and infrastructure outage risks before they become a problem with real-time notifications. Preserve engineering workflows by integrating with tools like PagerDuty and Slack.

About

LevelFour is a FinOps platform that finds the waste in cloud, SaaS, and AI spend and ships each saving. It covers AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, and Kubernetes, with SaaS and AI bills in the same system of record. LevelFour applies each saving in your account, opens it as an infrastructure-as-code pull request, or hands your team the steps. Creditas, ClickBus, Cayena, and Darwin Seguros use it to cut their bills. Engineers see cost in pull requests on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps, in the CLI, and through an MCP server their AI agents can call. Finance sees each saving on the next bill, with the change, the date, and the person who approved it. The pull request bot prices Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi, CDK, and Kubernetes manifests before they merge. Cloud Savings costs 30% of realized savings, and nothing when the bill doesn't drop.
