What CloudZero is

CloudZero is a web and API platform for connecting AI and cloud spending to business outcomes. It organizes costs by dimensions such as customer, feature, and product, whether or not those dimensions rely on tags. Explorer helps teams inspect spending dimensions, investigate spikes, and analyze the economics of outcomes. CloudZero says streaming telemetry captures AI calls as they happen and supports attribution to customers, products, transactions, and P&L. Its anomaly detection defines normal spending and alerts users to spikes without manual tuning. Budgets and forecasts are included with the subscription. Named integrations include AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, Snowflake, Anthropic, OpenAI, Datadog, Databricks, MongoDB, and New Relic; supported clouds also include Oracle Cloud. The AnyCost API and common data model can ingest billing and usage data from providers without an official connector. CloudZero says it encrypts data at rest and in motion and partitions it by customer. Pricing is available on request, with tiered pricing and no monthly overages. The Trust Center lists SOC 1 Type 2 and SOC 2 Type 2 attestations, plus CCPA and GDPR alignment; sensitive SOC reports require an access request under NDA.
