Why EchoWatch
Timely cost warnings, without the FinOps suite
A lightweight, UK-based cloud cost monitor for startups on AWS. Hourly spend monitoring, secure read-only access and anomaly detection that learns your spend — the timely warnings you need before the bill goes haywire, without an enterprise FinOps suite.
Anomaly alerts within the hour
We check your spend every hour. Once EchoWatch has learned your normal pattern, a runaway EC2 instance or misconfigured bucket triggers an alert within the hour — not at the end of the month.
Learns your spend profile
Adaptive baselines watch a couple of weeks of history to learn what normal looks like for you. After that, EchoWatch only speaks up when spend is a genuine anomaly — no noisy false alarms.
Secure by design
Connect with a read-only, External-ID-scoped IAM role — no access keys change hands and you can revoke it any time. We only ever read Cost Explorer, and any stored credentials are encrypted at rest.
Budget alerts
Set a monthly budget per account or service. Get paged the moment month-to-date spend crosses your threshold — no manual dashboards.
Spend timeline with alert overlay
See daily spend by service on one calm dashboard, with every anomaly marked right on the chart so you can see exactly what your costs are doing and when.
Slack, email & SMS
Cost alerts reach the channels your team already lives in, with per-severity delivery rules.
