CloudSpender

About

Stop guessing—start saving.
CloudSpender shows you exactly where every cloud dollar goes, the moment it’s spent.

Whether you run a single side-project or a multi-cloud enterprise, the Chrome extension pulls live cost and usage data from AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, and dozens of SaaS tools, then stitches everything into one clean, interactive dashboard—right inside your browser.

🚀 Key features
• Unified spend view – See AWS, GCP, Azure and popular SaaS costs side-by-side the second you open the dashboard.
• Real-time tracking – Detect spikes and budget burn as they happen, not at the end of the month.
• Service-level drill-downs – Click any account, region or tag to reveal granular spend drivers.
• Smart alerts – Optional Slack / e-mail pings when spend breaches thresholds you set.
• Idle-resource finder – Automatic call-outs on volumes, snapshots and VMs you forgot to turn off.
• Export & API – One-click CSV / JSON download or REST calls for deeper analysis.
• Zero-credential onboarding – CloudSpender reads billing pages using the session you’re already logged in with; you never share keys or secrets.

🔒 Privacy & security
CloudSpender runs entirely in your browser. No data leaves your machine unless you opt in to cloud backup. When you do, we encrypt in transit and at rest, and we still never see or store your IAM credentials. Full details live in our Privacy Policy.
