SpendSentry

Monitors cloud spend in real time and alerts before your bill spirals.

SpendSentry watches your AWS, GCP, or Azure spend and fires alerts the moment a service crosses its budget threshold — not at the end of the billing cycle when it's too late.

/ the problem

Cloud bills are a surprise invoice. SpendSentry makes them predictable.

You find out your Lambda function had a runaway loop when the AWS bill arrives. By then you've spent $400 on a bug that should have cost $4. SpendSentry fires the alert in real time — the moment spend crosses your threshold.
