Teevity

Overview

Teevity brings AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure usage into a cloud-cost management service. It is best suited to organizations that need to distribute costs across internal owners as well as track spending. Its reporting and allocation capabilities reach well beyond the high-level view in the free plan.

Key features

A shared dashboard combines cloud bills and adds an end-of-month spending forecast, helping teams see where costs are heading before the billing period closes. Dynamic Cost Explorer offers summary, detail, comparison and reservations reports, giving analysts several ways to examine spend and commitments.

Real-time classification can assign costs to teams, projects, activity types or countries. That can support internal accountability and chargeback, especially in larger organizations with several services or business units. Teevity also documents capabilities for cost and usage distribution, administrative automation, financial and technical optimization. Rightsizing guidance and commitment management extend its scope beyond bill reporting.

Finance integrations include Google BigQuery, Excel, Google Spreadsheet and Dropbox. A JSON REST API exposes the features of the web portal, which may suit teams connecting cloud-cost work to other systems. Cost Explorer exports are CSV-only, with Time As Columns, Time As Lines and Budget layouts; teams that require another export format may find that restrictive.

The CLI package includes a JAR, macOS/Linux/Unix shell script and Windows DOS script, and requires Java 8 or later. For AWS, the recommended connection uses an IAM cross-account trust relationship and an external ID generated for the Teevity account. That provides a defined connection approach, though teams will need to account for the setup in their AWS environment.

Pricing

The Free services plan costs nothing and provides high-level cost monitoring, a dashboard and daily email, with all cloud spending in one place. It is a useful entry point for basic visibility, but its high-level scope makes it a poor fit for organizations needing deeper analysis or allocation controls.

The Basic plan is pay per use, charged by the minute through the AWS account, and covers AWS, GCP and Azure monitoring with a configurable monthly maximum. It may suit teams that want usage-based billing and a spending ceiling; the cost will depend on use.

The MSP, cloud reseller and system integrator plan starts at €99 a month and offers a white-label version. That makes it the plan aimed at service providers presenting cost monitoring to their own customers. Enterprise Support costs €399 a month, is sold separately, and is available with Basic, Pro and Enterprise; its single point of contact is relevant to organizations that want a dedicated support channel.

Enterprise costs €999 a month at a fixed monthly price, with no additional percentage charge. It includes visibility controls, custom chargeback, reserved capacity management and mass user dashboards, making it the clearest fit for organizations needing broad access and allocation features. Pro is shown at €99,599 a month with fixed tiered pricing; it includes multi-user dashboards, advanced cost breakdowns, optimization reports and API access. The substantial difference between those displayed prices makes it important to compare the plan scope and cost against actual requirements before choosing.

Platforms

Teevity supports API, Linux, macOS, web and Windows. Its Java-based CLI package covers Unix-like systems and Windows, while web access and the REST API offer alternatives to command-line use.

Who it's for

Teevity is strongest for finance, FinOps and engineering teams sharing responsibility for cloud spend across AWS, GCP and Azure. Real-time cost allocation and forecasting are particularly useful when teams need to connect usage with internal owners and budgets. A user seeking only basic visibility can start with the free plan; organizations requiring tailored chargeback, reserved-capacity management or wider dashboards should consider Enterprise. The per-minute Basic model may appeal to teams preferring usage-based billing, while service providers have a dedicated white-label option.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Combines three major cloud providers in one dashboard, with end-of-month forecasting and cost allocation by organizational dimensions.
• Pros: Offers multiple report types, commitment management, optimization capabilities, integrations and API access for teams with broader FinOps workflows.
• Cons: Cost Explorer exports are limited to CSV, which may not meet workflows that depend on other file formats.
• Cons: The free plan is limited to high-level monitoring, while several advanced controls sit in paid tiers.
• Cons: Pro is shown at €99,599 a month, a price that merits close scrutiny against the included features and alternatives.

Alternatives

Cloud Cost Management Software is the broader category to explore when comparing services.

Choose Infracost if infrastructure-as-code cost estimation and CI/CD run quotas better match the task; its Infracost CI/CD plan includes 1,000 free runs per month, and it offers API, extension, desktop and web platforms.

AWS Billing and Cost Management is a free alternative for AWS-focused users, though some features have usage-based charges and Cost Explorer API requests and hourly granularity are charged separately.

Google Cloud Cost Management is the natural alternative for Google Cloud customers seeking its no-additional-charge cost-management tools; charges may still apply for services used, including BigQuery and Pub/Sub.

Economize may suit a smaller initial footprint: its free plan covers one cloud provider, one account and one organization, up to $100k monthly cloud spend.

Flexera One IT Asset Management is another paid option for readers comparing IT asset management products.

CloudZero is worth considering when unlimited cost sources, users, dimensions and dashboards are the priority; its subscription price is custom pricing.

CoreStack FinOps is a paid alternative offered individually, in a bundle or with unlimited CoreStack Assessments, with pricing by quote.

Vantage may suit teams comparing a free tier with a lower-cost paid option: its Starter plan includes $2,500 cloud spend, three users and six months of data retention, while Pro costs $30 a month and includes $7,500 cloud spend and five users.

Verdict

Choose Teevity if your organization needs a shared AWS, GCP and Azure cost view with forecasting, real-time allocation and room for more advanced FinOps work. Its strongest case is bringing reporting and cost ownership together across clouds. Look elsewhere if CSV-only exports are a blocker, or if the paid-tier costs and feature boundaries do not fit your scale.
