AWS Cost Tracker

About

Stop guessing your AWS bill at month-end. AWS Cost Tracker puts real-time cost visibility directly into your development environment, so you never deploy blindly again.

AWS Cost Tracker solves the problem of cost blindness during development by surfacing per-service and per-resource spend right where you work – in your IDE or browser. Unlike clunky dashboards, this lightweight extension integrates with your deployment pipeline and infrastructure-as-code workflows, alerting you to cost anomalies before they blow your budget.

## What's Included

- Real-time cost dashboard in your IDE or browser sidebar
- Per-service and per-resource cost breakdown with drill-down
- Cost anomaly alerts triggered by deployment pipeline events
- Export spend data to CSV for reporting or budgeting
- One-click IAM role setup with read-only permissions for security

## Who Is This For

- DevOps engineers who want cost context without switching tools
- Cloud architects managing multi-service AWS environments
- Platform teams integrating cost awareness into CI/CD pipelines
- Startup CTOs needing to keep cloud spend predictable

## How It Works

Install the AWS Cost Tracker extension for your browser or VS Code. Connect your AWS account using a read-only IAM role (takes 2 minutes). The extension automatically pulls cost data from AWS Cost Explorer and displays it in a live sidebar – no manual queries, no external dashboards.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Does AWS Cost Tracker require any additional AWS services or costs?**
No – it uses the free AWS Cost Explorer API. You only pay the $12.99 for the extension itself.

**Is my AWS data secure with this extension?**
Absolutely. The extension uses a dedicated read-only IAM role. No write permissions are granted, and all data stays between your browser/IDE and AWS.

**Can I see costs broken down by Kubernetes cluster or container orchestration?**
Yes – it supports tag-based filtering, so you can group costs by cluster, namespace, or custom tags like environment or team.

**Does it work with multi-account AWS Organizations?**
Yes – you can connect multiple accounts and view aggregated costs or switch between them in the sidebar.

**What if I need help setting it up?**
The extension includes a step-by-step setup wizard. If you run into issues, email support is included – we respond within 24 hours.
