Hey, we're Jason, LV and Todd. We're tired of Cost Explorer and overpaying on the AWS bill. You know, "Bill Shock".
Beyond the "agency" issue all cloud providers obviously bring, there are still some major problems with cloud billing that are largely unsolved by the market. Here are some that I think are more important than ever and that we want to solve:
- There is a gap in billing information (waiting days makes a difference when you're deploying constantly)
- It takes too much dev time to dissect a cost report and get key info
- Available cost alerting is mostly threshold-based and super noisy (you also have to set it up)
- I can't see how decisions I make impact cloud costs
- The big cloud management platforms are complex to set up / good for enterprises, suck for startups
- It takes a long time to go from insight to action
We launched Tim today to address this:

It's simple (yet effective, and you can go deeper) AWS cost management developers really like using. We have many cloud-native companies of decent scale using it and we want to solve the aforementioned problems.
What do you think is most painful with AWS billing? If it matters enough, we'll build it.

Oh, and happy re:Invent!
