Teevity

Overview

Teevity is a cloud-cost analytics service for AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure. It suits organizations that need to monitor more than one cloud and assign spending to internal owners. Its scope spans forecasting, reporting and optimization, though the free plan is a high-level view rather than a full FinOps workspace.

Key features

Teevity consolidates cloud bills in one dashboard and forecasts end-of-month spending. That gives finance and engineering teams a forward-looking view instead of only a record of costs already incurred. The free service includes high-level monitoring, a dashboard and daily email, but detailed analysis calls for a paid tier.

Dynamic Cost Explorer provides summary, detail, comparison and reservations reports. Real-time cost classification can assign spending to teams, projects, activity types or countries, useful for organizations that need internal accountability or chargeback. Teevity also covers cost and usage distribution, administrative automation, financial optimization and technical resource optimization; its stated capabilities include rightsizing guidance and commitment management.

Finance integrations include Google BigQuery, Excel, Google Spreadsheet and Dropbox, and a JSON REST API exposes the features of the web portal. Dynamic Cost Explorer downloads are CSV-only, with Time As Columns, Time As Lines or Budget layouts. That is a meaningful constraint for teams whose reporting workflows require another file format.

The CLI package includes a JAR, a shell script for macOS, Linux and Unix, and a DOS script for Windows; it requires Java 8 or later. For AWS, the recommended connection uses an IAM cross-account trust relationship and an external ID generated for the Teevity account. Support is available by email at [email protected].

Pricing

The Free services plan costs nothing and includes high-level cost monitoring, a dashboard and daily email across clouds. It is a sensible starting point for basic visibility, but it does not promise the deeper reporting and controls described for paid plans.

Basic uses custom pricing on a pay-per-use basis, billed by the minute through your AWS account. It supports AWS, Google Cloud and Azure monitoring, with a configurable monthly maximum limit. This can suit buyers who prefer usage-based billing and a spending ceiling, though costs are not a fixed subscription.

Pro costs €99,599 a month and includes multi-user dashboards, advanced cost breakdown, optimization reports and API access. Its fixed tiered pricing may suit teams that need those capabilities in a defined tier, but the listed monthly price is substantial. Enterprise costs €999 a month, with a fixed monthly price and no additional percentage charge; it adds visibility controls, custom chargeback, reserved-capacity management and mass user dashboards. Those controls are aimed at organizations with broader allocation and access needs.

MSP, cloud reseller and system integrator starts at €99 a month, with a white-label version available. Enterprise Support costs €399 a month, is sold separately, provides a single point of contact and is available with Basic, Pro and Enterprise.

Platforms

Teevity supports API, Linux, macOS, web and Windows. The CLI's Java 8-or-later requirement matters for teams planning to use its command-line package; the web portal and REST API provide other access routes.

Who it's for

Teevity is a stronger fit for organizations managing AWS, Google Cloud or Azure spend that need forecasting, allocation and reporting in one service. Teams seeking only a basic shared view can begin on Free; organizations needing chargeback controls, broad dashboards or a single support contact should consider the relevant paid plans. It is less suitable when CSV is not an acceptable export format.

Pros and cons

• Pros: consolidates spending across AWS, Google Cloud and Azure and forecasts end-of-month costs, giving teams a cross-cloud view with forward context.
• Pros: real-time allocation and enterprise chargeback controls can connect cloud costs to teams, projects and other internal owners.
• Pros: the free plan offers a dashboard and daily email, while Basic allows a configurable monthly maximum.
• Cons: Dynamic Cost Explorer downloads are limited to CSV, which can obstruct workflows built around other export formats.
• Cons: the Free plan is limited to high-level monitoring, so detailed reports and advanced controls require a paid plan.
• Cons: Pro is priced at €99,599 a month, a high commitment for buyers who need its dashboards, breakdowns and optimization reports.

Alternatives

Compare cloud cost management software if you want to survey the category before choosing a provider.

Infracost is worth considering for teams focused on CI/CD cost estimation, with a free tier that includes 1,000 runs per month and Slack Community support. AWS Billing and Cost Management is a free option for AWS-focused users, though some features have usage-based charges and Cost Explorer API requests and hourly granularity cost extra.

CloudBolt offers a free core CMP for up to 100 resources, making it a fit for teams seeking broader cloud management within that resource limit. CloudFix may suit buyers seeking a free scan with savings by category and full resource details for 30 days, with a paid Starter plan at $149 a month.

Google Cloud Cost Management is a no-additional-charge choice for Google Cloud customers, though charges may apply for services used. OpenCost is a free, open-source option for teams using Kubernetes and Prometheus. Economize offers a free tier limited to one cloud provider, one account and one organization, with up to $100k monthly cloud spend.

Harness Cloud Cost Management is another freemium option; its free tier includes community support.

Verdict

Choose Teevity if your organization needs cross-cloud cost visibility with forecasts, allocation and reporting, and especially if chargeback or reserved-capacity management matters. Its free plan is a useful high-level starting point, but CSV-only exports and the steep Pro price are reasons to look elsewhere when your workflow needs other formats or advanced capabilities at a lower commitment.
