Frugal

Frugal is a cloud cost optimization and management platform designed to give finance, engineering, and operations teams clear visibility and control over their cloud spending. It connects to major cloud providers and ingests billing, usage, and resource metadata to produce detailed, real-time cost analytics. Users can break down costs by account, project, team, environment, or tag, and quickly identify cost drivers, anomalies, and trends. Frugal offers granular dashboards, custom reports, and alerting so teams can monitor budgets, forecast future spend, and detect unexpected spikes before they become problems.

The platform supports automated cost-saving recommendations by analyzing idle, underutilized, or misconfigured resources and suggesting concrete actions such as rightsizing instances, removing unused storage, or consolidating services. It can also assist with unit economics and show cost per customer, feature, or transaction to help product and finance teams understand profitability. Role-based access control enables different stakeholders to access the level of detail relevant to them, while maintaining governance and compliance. Typical use cases include ongoing cloud cost governance, FinOps implementation, chargeback and showback reporting, and preparing data for executive reviews. By centralizing cloud cost data and making it actionable, Frugal helps organizations reduce waste, improve budgeting accuracy, and align engineering decisions with financial objectives.
