30-Day Cost Trend
CostRadar analyzes the latest Azure billing data daily and compares newly available costs against your baselines. Current-month figures are estimates — Azure finalizes them after the billing period closes. You'll always know exactly how fresh your data is.
Act
Slack Alert
⚠ CR-0042 · AKS node pool · +63% · $687 latest billing week
Get anomaly alerts in Slack or Microsoft Teams, review cost reports, track spend against your budget, and act on cost insights — all from one dashboard.
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
Anomaly notifications delivered to your Slack channel or Teams workspace when CostRadar's scheduled detection job finds new spikes. 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
- ✗Provide instant Azure spend metering — Azure billing data is available within 8–24 hours per Microsoft (up to 72 hours for pay-as-you-go)
- ✗Stop or limit spending — it cannot modify your Azure resources
- ✗Replace Azure Cost Alerts or Azure Policy for budget enforcement
- ✗Prevent a runaway workload from incurring costs in real time — Azure billing data lags 8–24 hours, so damage can accumulate before it appears
- ✗Detect cost anomalies before Azure makes billing data available (typically 8–24 hours after usage)
For real-time spend guardrails, use Azure Cost Alerts and Azure Policy alongside CostRadar.
