Azure cost monitoring

Catch Azure overspend before it reaches the invoice

CostMon connects to Azure Cost Management's Query API and turns subscription and resource-group sprawl into one normalized daily view — so an orphaned disk or an expiring reservation gets caught while it's still cheap to fix.

Azure Cost Management — live today

Azure spend sprawls across subscriptions and resource groups the way AWS spend sprawls across accounts and services — except Cost Management's own view is built for one subscription at a time, so nobody sees the total until finance reconciles the invoice weeks later. Reservations lapse unnoticed, orphaned disks and public IPs from decommissioned VMs keep billing quietly, and a resource-group naming convention nobody enforces makes cost attribution close to impossible.

Why CostMon

Built for Azure spend, from day one

Every subscription, one normalized total

CostMon pulls daily cost from the Azure Cost Management Query API across every subscription you connect, so spend that's scattered across resource groups finally rolls up into one number.

Reservations and orphaned resources, surfaced

Daily, service- and region-level breakdowns make an expiring reservation or an orphaned disk or public IP obvious well before it compounds into wasted spend.

One view, next to the rest of your stack

Azure spend lands in the same normalized table as AWS, GCP, and every other connected provider — finance sees one honest total for the whole stack, not a separate Azure portal.

Read-only, cost-scoped credentials

CostMon connects via an Azure AD app registration granted Cost Management Reader only — read-only, and it never touches your workloads or resource configuration.

FAQ

Common questions about the Azure connector

How does CostMon connect to Azure?

Through an Azure AD app registration (service principal) granted Cost Management Reader on the subscription — read-only, scoped to billing data. CostMon never requests access to your VMs, storage, or resource configuration.

Does CostMon replace Azure Cost Management?

No — CostMon reads from the Cost Management Query API and normalizes it alongside AWS, GCP, and every other provider you connect, so Azure spend sits in the same daily view as the rest of your stack instead of its own portal.

How often does Azure cost data sync?

CostMon's background scheduler syncs Azure Cost Management data on a regular cadence, so the dashboard reflects a daily view rather than a monthly statement.

Can I see Azure costs broken down by subscription or service?

Yes — costs sync in with subscription, service, and region detail intact, so you can see trends by subscription, by service category, or grouped into cost buckets by team or project.

What does the Azure connector cost?

A flat monthly rate per plan — never a percentage of your Azure bill or the savings CostMon helps you find. Free includes 2 connectors; Professional and Enterprise include unlimited connectors.
