Cloud Cost Forecasting

Forecast where cloud spend lands before month-end across AWS, GCP, Azure, Snowflake, Vercel, and ClickHouse Cloud.

StackSpend forecasts cloud spend across AWS, GCP, Azure, Snowflake, Vercel, and ClickHouse Cloud. Pace-to-forecast shows where the month will land based on spend so far, compares it to budget, and alerts when the trend crosses a threshold — so you can act mid-month, not after the invoice.

See spend against budget, every day.

The same burn-up view your dashboard shows: cumulative spend against budget, with a forecast tail so you know where the month ends before it does.

The workflow

How it works in practice

1

StackSpend projects month-end spend per provider and in total from daily actuals — no spreadsheet required.

2

Pace-to-forecast is compared against budget so you see whether the month is on track today.

3

Alerts fire when the forecast crosses a threshold, giving you time to act before the cycle closes.

Real scenarios

When this use case fires

Spend is tracking 20% over budget but no one notices until month-end

Multi-cloud totals require manual aggregation before a forecast exists

A mid-month spike changes the trajectory with no projection update

Finance needs a forecast for the board but only has actuals

Native dashboards show what you have spent, not where the month will end. Forecasting means exporting data and building a spreadsheet.

Multi-cloud forecasting requires combining several billing sources before a total even exists.

Without a forecast, budget overruns are discovered at month-end when nothing can be done.
