Great tool for keeping cloud costs under control
What do you like best about the product?
Vantage makes it much easier to see where our cloud costs are going. I use it to track AWS and OpenAI spend, and the dashboards give me a clear breakdown that I can share with my team. The virtual tags help a lot for splitting costs between marketing campaigns.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the setup takes a little work and a few of the reports could be easier to navigate, but overall it has saved us time and helped avoid surprise bills. It’s been a solid tool for keeping our budget under control.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vantage helps me keep track of cloud and API costs in real time. Instead of waiting for the end-of-month bill, I can see daily spend and break it down by campaign or project. This makes it easier to budget, explain costs to clients, and avoid surprises.
A must-have for keeping projects on budget
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Vantage is how clean and straightforward it feels. As a designer, I really appreciate how it turns all that website performance data into something easy to understand at a glance.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, there’s not that much that I dislike, but if I had to pick something, it’s that Vantage can feel a little overwhelming at first. There’s a lot of data and features, and it takes a bit of time to figure out where to look and how to set up alerts the way you want. Once you get the hang of it, though, it’s super handy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vantage solves the headache of keeping an eye on my sites and services all the time. It shows me uptime, performance, and trends in one place, so I can spot problems before they get serious. For me, that means less stress, quicker fixes, and knowing everything is running smoothly without having to constantly check multiple tools.
AWS expenses finally transparent and under control
What do you like best about the product?
Vantage makes it very easy to get orientated in the available EC2 instances, which then makes it easy to choose the right one when creating a new machine. Vantage then creates periodical reports on the costs of AWS. The costs are broken down into granular, understandable pieces which again makes it easy to see where the money is going and where there is potential to save.
What do you dislike about the product?
The service is easy to understand and information is very well laid out, both in terms of the level of detail, and in terms of general readability. I have nothing to complain about.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were finding it difficult to get orientated in our AWS costs. After all, it is not just the EC2 instance running somewhere -- it is the network traffic, the reserved IP addresses, the backups, directory services... there's a lot to it. We were looking for something that would help us get a clear vision of our AWS costs. Additionally, Vantage also helps us get orientated in the vast amount of available types of EC2 instances.
Easy to manage, good value and has trial

Vantage has made cloud cost monitoring much more manageable for our team. The interface is clean, and the daily cost updates are incredibly useful for staying on top of spend in real-time.

break down costs by service, team, and tag to save money
Easy to use and save you money

What do you dislike about the product?
some of the cost breakdown can still feel a bit high-level
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it was difficult to track where spend was coming from, especially across accounts and teams. Vantage gives me a centralized, real-time view of my cloud expenses, broken down by service, project, or team—which makes budgeting and forecasting bit easier
Continues to deliver value for our startup

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For a small team, Vantage is really valuable because it reduces the overhead of managing multiple tools and lets us move faster.
The MCP server integration is a big win — being able to chat directly with AWS resources makes troubleshooting and day-to-day operations much simpler.
Instead of switching between consoles or writing manual scripts, we can get quick answers and actions directly through Vantage.
This saves us time, lowers the complexity of cloud management, and lets us focus more on building rather than babysitting infrastructure.

Good but with a Learning Curve
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Vantage is how it makes a confusing mess of cloud bills feel simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you want to use the powerful, deep features, you will definitely have to spend some time learning how to use them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a dev, it is tough to answer: “Which service/team caused this spike?” we have granular, developer friendly breakdowns (per service, account, tag, or even feature).
Essential Tool for Monitoring AWS Costs and Preventing Surprises
What do you like best about the product?
Vantage has been a huge help in keeping our AWS spending under control. As a business leader responsible for monitoring costs, I really appreciate the weekly email summaries. They clearly show total spend along with percentage increases and decreases for each AWS service.
The setup was quick and easy, and I was able to start getting useful insights right away. This simple but powerful reporting has saved me from unexpected expenses on multiple occasions. Instead of digging through AWS’s complex billing console or running reports, I get the insights I need delivered right to my inbox. It saves time, prevents surprises, and ultimately helps us save money by catching issues before they get too costly.
Vantage has quickly become an essential part of how we manage cloud costs.

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any complaints. Vantage is working extremely well for us.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vantage solves the problem of visibility into AWS costs. AWS’s native billing console is complex and time-consuming, but with Vantage I get clear weekly email summaries that highlight total spend and percentage changes by service. This has allowed me to quickly catch unexpected expenses, fix them before they become too costly, and ultimately save money. It also saves me significant time since I don’t need to log in, run reports, or dig through complicated dashboards.
Perfect for startups that are watching every dollar
What do you like best about the product?
Easy onboarding, a clean UI, and a startup-friendly free tier that helps us control costs under $2,500 per month make it easier for us to manage early expenses.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing jumps from $0 to $30 monthly the moment cloud spend passes the free $2.500 threshold
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vantage enables us to solve the biggest problem we had as a startup: limited visibility into where our cloud spend was headed. We had previously used AWS billing dashboards that were opaque and hard to correlate spend to growth. With Vantage, we get a concise real-time view of costs, and the free tier lets us monitor up to $2.5k without any overhead. This enables us to recognize waste early, forecast spend, and give our investors confidence that we're being diligent with resources. The weekly emails alerts are also a lifesaver they warn us before the costs spiral out of control, so we're never caught off guard at the end of the month. Overall, it gives us financial discipline without needing a full-time FinOps hire
