AWS COST VISIBILITY

Know what changed in your AWS bill — and where to look next.

When one team sees an invoice and another sees a dashboard, the first job is to make the numbers comparable. Fivemetrics brings AWS billing data into a shared cost view, with the context to investigate services, accounts and changes over time.

Explore your AWS costs

A workflow your team can follow

01

Connect the billing source

An administrator connects the AWS account through the supported setup flow. Review the requested permissions and billing-export prerequisites before deployment. First data depends on the provider’s report availability.

02

Start with a comparable view

Select accounts, dates and cost basis. Check data freshness and any reconciliation difference before treating a change as an operational result.

03

Give the investigation an owner

Identify the service or account behind the change. Compare with workload and deployment history, then assign an action and a follow-up check.

What you can work on

  • Explore spending across the connected AWS accounts.
  • Inspect available service and time breakdowns instead of relying on one total.
  • Use budgets and cost anomalies to organize the next investigation.

Before you connect

Does this replace the AWS invoice?

No. Use the provider’s statement as the billing reference and investigate differences in scope, cost basis and timing.

Does connecting every source take the same time?

No. AWS billing exports and account permissions affect readiness. The product should show the actual setup state rather than promise an instant complete history.

Can I evaluate it before consolidating every account?

Start with a supported source and the question you need to answer. Expand the scope once its data and permissions are understood.
