GCP & AWS Console vs. Cloud Cost Optimizer

Native billing consoles are designed to show you invoices. We're designed to help you reduce them — across both clouds, in one place.

Capability
GCP / AWS Console
Cloud Cost Optimizer
Unified cost dashboard
Spread across separate tools — Billing, Cost Explorer, Budgets, Anomaly Detection
One view: services, projects, trends — same layout for GCP and AWS
AI-powered recommendations
Basic rightsizing only (GCP Recommender / AWS Compute Optimizer) — no cross-service narrative
Claude analyses full spend; explains why + what to do
Anomaly / spike detection
GCP: none. AWS: separate Cost Anomaly Detection service, not surfaced in your billing view
Statistical z-score detection, built into your dashboard, pushed to Slack
Waste detection
GCP: none. AWS: Trusted Advisor has some checks, mostly gated behind paid support plans
Surfaces zero-usage charges and idle resources across all services, no support plan needed
Cost trend by service
Requires navigating multiple menus
Top 5 services on one chart, any date range
Resource-level drill-down
Needs BigQuery + Looker Studio (GCP) or CUR + Athena (AWS) set up separately
Built-in for GCP: service → SKU → actual VM / bucket name
Budget tracking
Available (GCP Budgets / AWS Budgets) — alerts only, no per-service breakdown in one place
Visual progress bars per service, project, or total — GCP and AWS
No IAM setup to connect
Requires a Billing Admin / IAM role grant just to view costs
Sign in with Google or paste an AWS key — no IAM role grants needed
Natural language explanations
Raw numbers only
"Your BigQuery cost spiked 340% — likely a large ad-hoc scan"

Anomaly Detection

GCP has no native spike detection at all, and AWS's Cost Anomaly Detection lives in a separate service. CCO builds it into your dashboard and pushes alerts straight to Slack.

Waste Surfacing

Neither console gives you a unified idle-resource view — AWS gates most of Trusted Advisor's checks behind a paid support plan. CCO finds everything charging you with zero usage, on both clouds, no support plan required.

No IAM Overhead

Viewing your cloud costs natively requires a Billing Admin or IAM role grant. CCO connects with a Google sign-in or an AWS key — no IAM changes to your account.

Everything You Need

Connect your GCP or AWS account once. Get instant visibility across all dimensions.

Cost Dashboards

KPI cards, service trend, project breakdown — all in one place with 7d / 30d / 90d / 12m views.

AI Recommendations

Claude analyses 30 days of spend and returns specific actions with estimated monthly savings.

Anomaly Detection

Statistical spike detection using z-scores. Finds unusual cost increases before they blow your budget.

Waste Detection

Automatically surfaces services charging you with zero measured usage — idle IPs, unused reservations, and more.

Budget Tracking

Set budgets by service, project, or total. Visual progress bars update in real time.

Read-Only & Secure

We request only read access to billing data. We never modify your GCP or AWS resources.
