HOW TO GET THE FILE

Your bill, exported

A month is enough; three is better. A bill lists what you were charged for, not your data.

  1. Open Cost ExplorerBilling and Cost Management › Cost Explorer.
  2. Group by usage typeSet the dimension to Usage type (or Service), monthly, for the last one to three months.
  3. Download CSVA Cost and Usage Report CSV from your S3 bucket works as well, and gives the most detail.
  1. Open Cost ManagementCost Management › Cost analysis, or Exports.
  2. Choose actual costUsage details for one or more months.
  3. Download as CSVThe standard usage-details columns are all the analyser needs.
  1. Open Billing reportsBilling › Reports.
  2. Group by service and SKUFor the last one to three months.
  3. Download CSVA BigQuery billing export saved as CSV works too.

Prefer to trim it first? Delete the account ID and resource ID columns before you drop it in. The analysis does not need them.

QUESTIONS

Asked often

The questions people search for before they run the check.

How can I reduce my AWS bill quickly?

Start with the waste a bill shows on its own: disks still on gp2, public IP addresses attached to nothing, traffic going through NAT that could use a free VPC endpoint, and snapshots and logs kept for ever. Rightsizing needs usage data as well, and commitments such as Savings Plans come last, once the waste is gone.

Is gp3 cheaper than gp2?

Yes, about 20% cheaper for the same size of disk, with a 3,000 IOPS and 125 MB/s baseline included. The change is made online, with no downtime, using modify-volume.

Is it safe to put my cloud bill into this tool?

The file is read in your own browser and is never uploaded or stored. A bill lists what you were charged for, not your data, and you can delete the account ID and resource ID columns first if you prefer.

Which billing export should I use?

On AWS, a Cost and Usage Report or a Cost Explorer download grouped by usage type; on Azure, the Cost Management usage details; on Google Cloud, the billing report grouped by service and SKU. All as CSV, for one to three months.

Why are some charges “worth checking” rather than savings?

A bill shows what a resource cost, not whether it was busy. A NAT gateway, traffic between zones or a load balancer may be doing real work, so the analyser shows the amount at stake and leaves the verdict to a look at usage.

Does it work with Azure and Google Cloud?

Yes. It recognises AWS, Azure and Google Cloud billing exports, reads US dollar bills at a stated rate, and shows everything in rupees a month.

Rather we went through it with you?

Two weeks, a fixed fee, and a costed savings plan you can act on, or an honest “there is not much in here” in week one.
