Vantage is cloud cost management software for engineering and FinOps teams tracking AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Kubernetes and AI spend.
Vantage turns the bills from several cloud and AI providers into one set of reports a team can split by account, service, tag or product. The maker is VNTG, Inc., a New York City company started in 2020 that has no parent. Cost Reports group spend by account, service and tag, and Virtual Tagging assigns costs to teams or products without changing the cloud account. Cost Anomaly Alerts, Budgets and Forecasting watch for spikes and overruns and notify people by email, Slack or Microsoft Teams. Cost Recommendations covers rightsizing and idle resource findings across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Datadog and Kubernetes, while Financial Commitment Reports and Autopilot for AWS Savings Plans manage commitment discounts. Kubernetes cost allocation splits cluster spend by namespace and label, Business Metrics turns spend into unit costs, and the Vantage FinOps Agent can act on findings through Slack with an optional approval step. Vantage suits engineering-led companies and FinOps practitioners who own a cloud bill and answer for it to finance. Startups can begin on the no-cost Starter tier, and growing companies move to Pro, Business or Enterprise as their tracked cloud spend rises. Platform teams that run Kubernetes and product teams that ship LLM features can use the Kubernetes and LLM token cost views. It is sold as one platform in four tiers, each tier set by the amount of cloud spend Vantage tracks. Teams use Vantage to allocate shared costs for showback, to attribute LLM token spend to the team that runs an agent, and to send scheduled cost reports to a Slack channel or an inbox. It connects to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Datadog, Snowflake, OpenAI, Anthropic, Slack, Microsoft Teams and Terraform. Cost data can be shared into Snowflake or queried through the REST API, which suits finance and data teams that analyse cost data in their own tools.
