## What is Costpulse?

AWS bills surprise people. A forgotten instance, a misconfigured service, an autoscaling rule doing exactly what it was told — and suddenly the number at the end of the month is one you didn't plan for.

The problem isn't that the data isn't there. It's that nobody checks the AWS console often enough. By the time you notice, the cost has already happened.

CostPulse changes that by putting your AWS spending on your phone. Your cost dashboard, budget progress, and spending trends are always one tap away — not buried behind a browser login you'll get to eventually.

More importantly, it watches for you. Set a monthly budget, and CostPulse sends a push notification the moment a threshold is crossed. If AWS detects an anomaly in your spending pattern, you hear about it on your lock screen — not in an email you'll read next week.

Setup takes two minutes. You deploy a single CloudFormation stack that creates read-only IAM roles in your account. No credentials are shared, nothing is stored on our side. You stay in full control.

If you're a freelancer, a small team, or anyone running workloads on AWS without a dedicated FinOps person watching the dashboard — this is how you make sure nothing slips through.

Free to download. One AWS account and one budget included. Upgrade to Plus for multi-account monitoring, anomaly detection, and Home Screen widgets.
