# Vantage

Canonical: https://inetgeek.com/finops/vantage/

A cost reporting platform priced by the size of the cloud bill it watches, on fixed monthly plans with a spend ceiling and a user count.

## Who it suits

Watching a modest bill without the tool becoming part of the problem. $30 a month covers $7,500 of cloud spend across 30+ providers, and the free tier carries email support and SAML SSO — both of which most of this corpus puts three plans up.

Consider something else if Your cloud bill is large. The fee is set by the spend the plan covers, so the tool that watches the bill scales with it; and the tier ceilings are stated in spend rather than in features, which means outgrowing a plan is a billing event rather than a capability one.

## iScore

90 / 100 (80% interval 87–94), rank 1 of 3 in finops — interval overlaps the next rank, so this is an ordering, not a finding.

inetGeek's own reading, computed from sourced facts against category peers by disclosed rules. Not a provider claim. Intervals are 80%; a provider with few documented facts is pulled toward the category middle rather than scored on what little is known.
