It consolidates namespace, node, and cluster analytics across minutes, hours, days, and months, with CSV export, cost forecasting, and a REST API. The ALWAYS FREE plan costs nothing and includes unlimited clusters, core analytics, and CSV export. Deployments run as Kubernetes pods through its Operator, with API, self-hosted, and web access.

An alternative may fit better when you need capabilities beyond usage reporting. Krossboard’s free plan excludes managed AKS, EKS, and GKE discovery and provides no support; Enterprise tiers are billed on-demand with no price shown. Its normal operation requires read-only Kubernetes access, while managed-cluster setup requires cloud administration permissions. When switching, weigh cloud and on-premises coverage, allocation detail, rightsizing recommendations, alerts, governance, integrations, retention, and whether software can apply changes or only report them.
