Find exactly what's driving your Azure costs.
Cost Explorer gives you a unified, filterable view of Azure spend across every subscription, resource group, and resource type — with trend charts and top-cost breakdowns that surface the signal, not the noise.
Drill into any cost spike in seconds.
Filter costs simultaneously by subscription, resource group, and resource type — then narrow the time window to a single day. Cost Explorer gives you the exact combination of filters needed to isolate what changed and when, without writing a single query.
All your subscriptions, one view.
Compare spend across every subscription in a single screen, or isolate one to understand its contribution. Cost Explorer aggregates costs across all your Azure subscriptions and tenants so you never have to switch portals or merge spreadsheets.
Compare any period against any other.
Pick from calendar ranges (this month, this quarter, this year, last quarter), relative ranges (last 7 / 30 / 90 days), or a custom window down to the exact day. See how your spend this week compares to the same week last quarter.
Pivot the spend chart however you need.
Group the daily spend chart by tenant, subscription, resource group, resource type, or your cost-centre tag — and switch between line, area, stacked, or grouped columns. Toggle Accumulated to turn daily spend into a running total and see how the period is pacing.
Know your top cost drivers at a glance.
Cost Explorer surfaces donut breakdowns for your top subscriptions and resource groups, plus a ranked bar chart of resource types — updated as you change filters. You'll always know where the bulk of your Azure spend is concentrated.
