Vantage provides a platform for businesses to track, manage, and reduce their spending across multiple cloud service providers. The software works by aggregating data from various cloud accounts into a single dashboard where users can filter costs by project, label, or department and set automated budget alerts. Unlike many competitors, Vantage offers deep resource-level analytics and specialized tools to identify waste within Kubernetes clusters. The company's goal is to provide full visibility into cloud expenditures through a self-serve model that charges a low fee based on the amount of money saved.
