Open core visibility
Cost visibility for every Kubernetes pod and ECS service.
ClusterCost maps AWS spend down to clusters, namespaces, pods, and ECS tasks so your DevOps team can finally see what each customer, service, and environment really costs.

The pain
- Only see a giant AWS bill—no clue which cluster or namespace burned it.
- Existing tools ignore ECS or take weeks to deploy.
- Finance chases DevOps every month for cost reports.
The solution
- Agents map every pod, namespace, ECS task, and tag to real AWS cost.
- Local dashboard shows actionable breakdowns immediately.
- SaaS control plane aggregates clusters, detects anomalies, and flags savings.
How it works
From install to savings in four steps
Step 1
Install agents
kubectl apply or ECS Daemon installs Go agents inside each cluster.
Step 2
Connect AWS
Link billing data and tags to enrich usage with actual spend.
Step 3
See true cost
Dashboards break down pods, namespaces, ECS services, and clients.
Step 4
Act on insights
Use right-sizing, idle nodes, and forecast alerts to cut waste.
Open-source agents & dashboard
Own your data. Run it inside your clusters.
- MIT-licensed agents, written in Go.
- Runs as a DaemonSet/sidecar inside Kubernetes or ECS.
- Immediate per pod/namespace/service breakdown.
Managed SaaS control plane
Aggregate, forecast, and alert across every account.
- Multi-cluster, multi-account, multi-cloud views.
- Cost per client, team, project, and environment.
- Opinionated savings recommendations and alerts.
- Scheduled reports for CTOs and Finance.

FAQ
Answers for platform teams
Is the agent open source?
Yes. Agents and the local dashboard are MIT licensed so you can audit and run them inside your own infra.
Do you support both Kubernetes and ECS?
Absolutely. The same agent exposes metrics for Kubernetes pods and ECS services, including Fargate.
Where does my data live?
Metrics stay inside your cluster unless you opt in to the SaaS control plane. We only ingest encrypted summaries when required.
Can I run everything inside my own VPC?
Yes. Self-host the open components or request a private SaaS deployment with VPC peering.
How does the free tier work?
Use the OSS dashboard forever and trial the SaaS for 30 days with up to 3 clusters.
What about security reviews?
Signed images, read-only IAM policies, and detailed docs help you pass security reviews quickly.
Stop guessing your AWS cost. Start seeing it per pod, service, and client.
Install the open-source agent, connect AWS, and give every stakeholder real cost data in under an hour.
