Vantage

What it is for

Vantage is a hosted cloud-cost report desk: you open Cost Reports, and Starter is Free up to $2,500 of cloud spend. Use it when the job is accrued-cost charts you start at $0, not when you need a $20 chat seat.

What makes it unique: the cover is the official Vantage Cost Report ($48,830.60 accrued, +10.74%, Amazon EC2 $3,762.71 / ElastiCache $3,702.10 / SageMaker $3,581.20 / Redshift $3,536.74) from the docs still — not a pricing card. The rows themselves are ops of Cost Reports. Vantage bills a fixed plan against cloud-spend caps, not a chat seat.

Key features

• Cost Reports — a grouped spend chart you filter by provider (cover still; docs). One report. Cover $48,830.60 and the EC2 row sit here.
• Budgets — a spend cap you attach to a report (docs; official video Create Hierarchical Budgets). A budget, not a report. Hierarchy sits here.
• Anomalies — a spend spike the report flags (cover Anomalies tab) (docs). An anomaly, not a budget. Alerts sit here.
• Virtual tags — a cost-allocation label you invent (pricing Virtual Tagging on Pro). A tag, not an anomaly. Showback sits here.
• Autopilot — a Savings Plan recommendation Vantage can buy (pricing Autopilot for AWS Savings Plans). Autopilot, not a tag. Commitments sit here.

The provider-connect snippet is install. Starter / Pro / Business tiles are the meter. Kubernetes Agent is an extra collector, not a sixth desk we fold into Cost Reports.

Who it's for

Best fit: FinOps / platform teams who will stay on Starter Free (up to $2,500 cloud spend, 3 users) while they open a first Cost Report, then pay Pro at $30 / month (up to $7,500 spend) or Business at $200 / month (up to $20,000 spend).

Limitations / costs

• Starter spend caps at $2,500. Crossing that cap is the $30 Pro tile, not a usage overage we invent.
• A cost-report desk, not a Terraform estimate. For Infracost’s PR cost comment see Infracost.
• Paid tiles are fixed against a spend cap. Re-read the $7,500 / $20,000 marks before you budget.

Alternatives

• Infracost — Terraform PR cost comments when you want Infracost’s diff, not Vantage’s $0 / $30 accrued-cost chart.
• Dash0 — OpenTelemetry cost-aware observability when you want Dash0’s traces, not Vantage’s FinOps report.
• Better Stack — logs + uptime when you want Better Stack’s telemetry, not Vantage’s cloud-spend table.
