Azure billing isn’t real time—not just in CostRadar.
Azure publishes cost data after usage occurs. Any tool using that billing data must wait for it to become available. CostRadar analyzes available billing data daily to identify unusual spending and shows how fresh your data is.
Microsoft documents typical cost-data availability of 8–24 hours for Enterprise Agreement and Microsoft Customer Agreement subscriptions, and up to 72 hours for pay-as-you-go. These are data-availability timings, not guaranteed alert-delivery times. Read Microsoft’s explanation.
Stop flying blind on Azure spend
Built specifically for Azure, not another generic cloud tool.
Anomaly Detection
Flags cost spikes using rolling baselines — daily spikes compared against a 7-day average, weekly trends against a 4-week average. Configurable thresholds and minimum dollar amounts.
Slack & Teams Alerts
Connect Slack or Microsoft Teams webhooks to receive anomaly alerts. Weekly email digests summarize spend and open anomalies for Growth and Business tenants.
Cost Reports
Nine report types — monthly summary, top resources, month-over-month comparison, forecast, anomaly history, cost optimization, and more. Export as CSV or PDF.
Cost Insights
Automatically surfaces stale resources, consistently accelerating costs, and savings from recently removed services — with plain-English action suggestions.
Budget Tracking
Set your monthly limit and CostRadar projects whether you'll hit it — with enough warning to do something about it.
Resource Activity Log
See every resource added or removed across your subscriptions, with cost context. Filter by subscription and resource type to trace what changed and when.

CostRadar does not
- ✗Act as an emergency spending shutoff — CostRadar uses delayed Azure billing data and read-only access. It cannot stop workloads or guarantee prevention of overspend.
- ✗Configure or enforce Azure resource policies — CostRadar has read-only access
Use Azure budget alerts for spending notifications and Azure Policy to restrict resource configurations alongside CostRadar. Budget alerts rely on delayed billing data and do not stop spending; Azure Policy does not enforce a dollar-based spending cap.
