About AWS Cost & Usage Report
The AWS Cost & Usage Report contains the most comprehensive set of AWS cost and usage data available, including additional metadata about AWS services, pricing, reserved Instances, and savings plans. The AWS Cost & Usage Report itemizes usage at the account or organization level by product code, usage type and operation. These costs can be further organized by enabling cost allocation tags and cost categories. The AWS Cost & Usage Report is available at an hourly, daily, or monthly level of granularity. The AWS Cost & Usage Report can track down to the instance-level where purchase options such as RIs and Savings Plans are being applied. It further amortizes associated fees and provides calculations to enable internal cost allocation and showbacks based on your organization’s internal reporting needs.

ProsperOps
ProsperOps is a fully automated, multi-cloud cost optimization platform for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
Eliminating cloud waste and managing spend is one of the most persistent challenges for FinOps teams. Cloud usage is inherently elastic, but the financial instruments used to manage cost like Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, and Committed Use Discounts are rigid. ProsperOps bridges this gap by integrating automated rate optimization with intelligent workload optimization, allowing organizations to continuously align cost with usage without manual oversight.
Founded in 2018, ProsperOps helps FinOps and engineering teams reduce costs, mitigate financial risk, and eliminate the operational burden of cloud cost management. The platform is governed by customer-defined controls and operates autonomously in the background to execute thousands of real-time optimizations that respond to evolving usage patterns, architectural changes, and business demands.

CostVisualizer
CostVisualizer is AWS's "specialized cost analysis tool" that makes it easy to visualize and analyze information about cloud costs and usage status. We visualize the operating cost structure and provide a wide range of services from RI introduction to security improvement and accounting support. Reserved Instances can save up to 75% compared to on-demand hourly rates by reserving computer capacity. CostVisualizer helps you reduce AWS costs by visualizing RI recommendations for individual accounts, the usage status of purchased RIs, and cost reduction effects. By monitoring costs in real time, you can visualize the difficult-to-understand cost structure of AWS. In addition, we respond to detailed concerns of each company, and also support detailed accounting management such as RI cost reallocation and consumption tax allocation for each project.
