Vantage Cloud Cost Platform

Vantage was founded in 2020 in New York City by Ben Schaechter and Brooke McKim, former product leaders at DigitalOcean and Amazon Web Services. Backed by Andreessen Horowitz and Scale with more than USD 25 million raised, the 75-person company helps engineering and finance teams understand and reduce spend across cloud, SaaS and AI providers.

The platform connects to about 40 integrations, including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Kubernetes, Snowflake, Databricks, Datadog, OpenAI and Anthropic. It offers cost reports, virtual tagging, budgets, unit costs, LLM token allocation, network cost visibility and a Kubernetes agent that breaks down costs by namespace and label. Automated waste detection and Autopilot for AWS Savings Plans drive optimisation, while an MCP server lets ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor query cost data. Customers include Canva, Rippling, HelloFresh, PBS and Block.

• Cost reports and dashboards: Filterable reports, canvases and KPI widgets across providers.
• Virtual tagging and allocation: Allocates costs to teams and products without retagging.
• Kubernetes agent: Breaks down compute by namespace and label and finds idle cluster costs.
• LLM token allocation: Allocates AI provider spend and tokens, including LiteLLM and OpenRouter.
• Autopilot: Automatically purchases AWS Savings Plans.
• MCP server: Lets ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor query cost data.

A Vietnamese startup can begin on the free plan to track AWS and OpenAI spend and set budgets per product. A SaaS company can calculate cost per customer to support pricing decisions. An AI company can allocate GPU costs on Kubernetes by team using NVIDIA MIG support.

Self-serve onboarding and a free Starter plan for up to USD 2,500 of tracked cloud spend let small teams start without a sales process. Paid tiers start at USD 30 per month with 14-day trials, making FinOps tooling affordable for startups. One view across cloud, SaaS and AI providers simplifies cost allocation and unit economics. Autopilot automates AWS Savings Plan purchases, and SOC 2 compliance is listed.

Startups and scale-ups now spend on many usage-based providers beyond the main clouds, especially AI APIs, and need affordable self-serve FinOps tools. Vietnam's and Southeast Asia's growing startup scene, much of it built on AWS and Google Cloud, is a natural fit for transparent tiered pricing.

Founded in 2020 and headquartered in New York City with a distributed US team of 75. Investors include Andreessen Horowitz and Scale, plus angels such as Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince and former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman; total funding exceeds USD 25 million. The site lists SOC 2 compliance.
