See the workflow in practice.
Read-only access, with nothing to install.
Billing integrations read cost and usage data without changing your provider resources. Permissions vary by provider; follow its setup guide. Claude usage uses opt-in OpenTelemetry, and custom sources use cost imports or scoped ingestion rather than a billing API.
How it worksCatch the spike the day it starts.
StackSpend learns what normal looks like per provider, account and service, then flags the day something breaks pattern, with a severity and an owner. Each one carries a lifecycle, so it gets closed.
How it worksOne message each morning. Nobody opens a billing portal.
Team plan and above
How it worksProduct examples are illustrative. Usage estimates and provider-reported costs are separate measures; availability varies by connected source.
Explore the data viewWhy is this spend hard to control?
- The bill arrives in USD and the budget is in GBP or EUR, so somebody converts manually and the rate is nowhere in the workbook.
- Converting everything at today's rate makes history move, so last quarter's number changes every time the report is reopened.
- Provider line items are not P&L lines, so the close needs a manual re-categorisation pass.
- A budget set in the reporting currency can be breached by a currency move rather than by usage, with no way to tell which.

The workflow
- 01
Each day's spend is converted at that day's rate into your reporting currency, so figures stay stable across periods. USD, GBP, EUR and more are supported, set once at the organisation level.
- 02
Every line item carries a P&L category, so provider vocabulary arrives in buckets the close already uses.
- 03
Budgets carry their own currency and alert at 50, 80, and 100 percent, so a GBP budget is tracked in GBP.
- 04
Because the same data carries tags and provider detail, a P&L variance traces back to the team and service behind it.
The source
Billing and usage from your connected providers. Credential types and permission controls vary by provider.
Provider connection guidesThe limits
Provider reporting and scheduled sync determine freshness. Available history and attribution vary by source; review the setup guide for coverage. Alerts notify your team; they do not block requests or enforce a spending cap.
What we track
- Conversion at historical exchange rates
- Reporting in USD, GBP, EUR and more
- P&L categories mapped per line item
- Budgets denominated in your own currency
- Variance traceable to team, provider, and service
Who is this for?
- Teams that want daily visibility into spend without manually checking billing portals.
- Buyers replacing spreadsheets and fragmented native dashboards with one monitoring workflow.
- Operators who need read-only setup, alerts, and forecasting before overrun becomes month-end reality.

When is this workflow useful?
- A close stalls because the USD-to-GBP conversion is done by hand
- A quarterly report changes retroactively after re-conversion at the current rate
- A budget set in EUR is breached by a currency move rather than usage
- Provider line items are re-categorised manually every month
How does StackSpend handle Multi-Currency Cloud & AI Cost Reporting?
Most cloud and AI providers bill in USD, but budgets and the P&L of a non-US company are not, so every month somebody converts the bill by hand at a rate nobody records. StackSpend converts spend to your organisation's reporting currency at historical exchange rates — each day's cost translated at that day's rate — so a closed period does not move when you reopen it. Spend is also mapped to P&L categories, and budgets can be set and alerted in your own currency rather than converted at read time.
How do I report cloud costs in GBP or EUR when providers bill in USD?
Convert at the historical rate for the period the cost belongs to, not at today's rate. StackSpend translates each day's spend at that day's exchange rate into your organisation's reporting currency, so March spend is always reported at March rates and a closed period does not move when reopened. USD, GBP, EUR and more are supported, set once at the organisation level.
Why not convert everything at the current exchange rate?
Because it makes history move. If last quarter's spend is re-translated every time the report is opened, the number presented to the board is not the number in the report a month later — which is exactly what a finance function cannot defend. Historical-rate conversion fixes each figure to the period it belongs to.
Can budgets be set in our own currency?
Yes. A budget carries its own currency, so a budget set in GBP is tracked in GBP with alerts at 50, 80, and 100 percent, rather than being a USD figure converted at read time — which would let a currency move breach a budget that usage never touched.
