Does StackSpend work with AWS?

StackSpend reads your AWS spend through Cost Explorer — across every linked account in your AWS Organization — and normalises it alongside the rest of your stack. It connects with read-only access in about 5 minutes, and StackSpend normalises AWS into one daily number with anomaly detection, forecasting, and budgets — delivered to Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, Linear, or Jira.

Common questions

AWS integration FAQ

How do I track my AWS spend?
You can check AWS's own usage and billing views, but they don't push alerts or show daily spend by service and account next to your other tools. To track AWS cost continuously, connect it to a cost monitoring tool like StackSpend with read-only access: it pulls usage by service and account, sends a daily cost signal, and backfills up to 90 days of history on connect.
How do I get alerts when my AWS spend goes over budget?
Set a budget threshold in a tool that reads AWS usage every day. StackSpend lets you set AWS budget alerts at 50/80/100% and sends a Slack, email, or webhook notification the day spend crosses the line or jumps off its baseline — across AWS and the rest of your stack in one place, so you don't wire up a separate alert per provider.
Why did my AWS bill suddenly increase?
A sudden AWS cost jump usually comes from an unattached or oversized resource, a data-transfer or NAT spike, a new service, or autoscaling under load. The fastest way to find which is a daily breakdown by service and account that shows what changed and when — StackSpend attributes the increase to the service and day it started, so you see the cause, not just a bigger total.
How do I break down my AWS costs by service and account and team?
Connect AWS to StackSpend and it splits spend by service and account out of the box, then lets you tag cost to a team, product, or environment. That means you can attribute the AWS bill, compare it period over period, and answer "who spent this and on what" — without exporting usage to a spreadsheet.
Can StackSpend forecast my AWS bill for the month?
Yes. Once AWS is connected, StackSpend projects where the month will land from your daily run-rate (pace-to-forecast) and warns you at 50/80/100% of budget — so you bring finance a defensible AWS number before the invoice, not after.
Is there a better way to monitor AWS costs than the billing dashboard?
Provider billing dashboards are built for investigating cost after the fact — you have to log in to look. A monitoring layer adds what they leave out: a daily signal, same-day anomaly alerts, budgets, and a month-end forecast, across every provider at once. StackSpend does this for AWS alongside AWS, GCP, Azure, Snowflake, OpenAI, Anthropic, and more.
Does StackSpend integrate with AWS?
Yes. StackSpend reads your AWS spend through Cost Explorer — across every linked account in your AWS Organization — and normalises it alongside the rest of your stack.
How do I connect AWS to StackSpend?
Read-only access, in about 5 minutes: Create a read-only IAM access key with Cost Explorer permissions; Paste the credentials into StackSpend and test the connection; We backfill up to 90 days of history automatically.
Is the AWS connection read-only?
StackSpend connects to AWS with read-only access and never writes to your account. Up to 90 days of history is backfilled automatically.
