Find your use case
Whether you are researching a new workload or standardizing cost reviews across teams, Rateplane adapts to how your organization manages cloud costs.
A shared operating layer for FinOps reviews
Rateplane helps FinOps teams standardize pricing research, connected spend review, budgets, forecasts, allocation, and exports across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Use it to replace scattered spreadsheets with a repeatable operating workflow.
- Spend variance — Flag unusual cost movement for owner review
- Budget alerts — Set thresholds for provider, account, or named owner scopes
- Cost allocation — Map spend to business owners and expose unallocated costs
- Reporting exports — Prepare CSV and report views for finance and BI workflows
- Commitment review — Review RI and Savings Plan coverage, utilization, and renewal context
Make cost tradeoffs visible before deployment
Engineering teams need fast answers when choosing regions, instance families, and pricing models. Rateplane gives them normalized pricing, comparison boards, saved filters, and API access so cost-aware decisions happen before invoices arrive.
- Instance comparison — Filter catalog offers by vCPU, memory, GPU, region, and hourly rate
- Spot savings % — Review spot discounts vs on-demand where provider data is available
- Cost estimates — Model monthly cost before you provision — share links with your team
- REST API — Pull pricing data into Terraform, CDK, or your CI/CD pipeline
- Price alerts — Get notified when an instance type drops below your target price
Cloud cost data finance can work with
Finance and procurement teams need clean cloud cost data, documented assumptions, forecast context, and exports they can reconcile. Rateplane turns raw cloud pricing and billing data into review-ready views for planning and governance.
- Allocation exports — Per-team and per-department cost views for showback or chargeback review
- Business dimensions — Organize spend when provider tags are incomplete or inconsistent
- Forecasting — Review projected spend from connected billing history and current run rate
- Structured exports — Normalized CSV and report exports for data warehouse, BI, and ERP workflows
- Multi-currency — Review costs in USD, EUR, GBP, and other supported currencies
Get cloud costs under control from day one
Early-stage teams need quick pricing research and lightweight budget controls before cloud spend becomes a monthly surprise. Rateplane starts with self-serve comparisons and grows into connected spend workflows when the team needs them.
- Starter access — Pricing catalog, comparisons, exports, and price alerts to begin
- Cost estimates — Model monthly cost before committing to a provider or region
- Spot review — Evaluate flexible-capacity options for fault-tolerant workloads
- Budget thresholds — Set early guardrails before spend becomes hard to explain
- Upgrade path — Add connected spend and team workflows when finance asks for more detail
One view across AWS, Azure, and GCP
Managing costs across multiple cloud providers is hard when each provider uses different terminology, billing formats, and APIs. Rateplane normalizes pricing and spend views into a shared schema so teams can compare, allocate, and report without translating every meeting.
- Unified catalog — Compute pricing across AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, Linode, and Vultr in one searchable table
- Normalized data — Consistent schema for vCPU, memory, region, OS, and hourly price
- Provider breakdown — See total spend split by provider, region, and service
- Cross-cloud allocation — Apply shared cost center logic where source dimensions support it
- Placement reviews — Evaluate provider and region choices against workload cost assumptions
Governance for distributed cloud ownership
Large organizations need shared cost data, ownership rules, budget governance, and exportable evidence for finance and procurement. Rateplane gives platform teams a practical way to coordinate FinOps workflows across accounts and business units.
- Budget governance — Standardize thresholds, owners, and review cadence
- Tag coverage — Track allocation gaps by team, account, and service
- Team workflow — Share views with finance, engineering, procurement, and platform stakeholders
- SSO requirements — Support SAML SSO on Business and Enterprise, with directory sync kept on the roadmap
- Review evidence — Export budget, allocation, and catalog data for governance reviews
