The Questions
Built for the questions your CFO is already asking
What will next year’s infrastructure cost?
Your cost follows what your systems process, like API calls, tokens and transactions, not the customer count Sales forecasts. See cost per unit from what actually ran, so next year’s budget is a formula you update, not a two-week project.
Why did the bill jump?
Usually it’s growth. Sometimes it’s one customer running heavy AI workflows on a flat-priced plan. See each customer’s cost and margin as it builds, while there’s still time to talk about pricing.
Did the project save money?
Your team switched models or rebuilt a pipeline, and the total bill still went up. Give each feature its own cost line and watch it drop when the change ships, even while total spend grows.
What happens to margin as we grow?
Project infrastructure cost and margin 90 days out using your own growth assumptions, then export to Excel.
Why Beakpoint
The old way takes months. And still doesn’t answer the question.
✕The Old Way
- ✕Finance sees cost by cloud service. Engineering sees it by system. Nobody sees it by customer.
- ✕Monthly reports built on manual tagging, 40–60% accurate at best.
- ✕Every new question is a project for data engineers.
- ✕Savings disappear into the total bill, and the board takes them on trust.
✓With Beakpoint
- ✓One source of truth for finance, engineering, execs and the board, in customer and feature terms.
- ✓Live cost from what actually runs, cloud and AI together, with AI-assisted tagging at near-100% allocation.
- ✓Self-serve for finance, with no engineers blocked. Drill from company to product to customer to API call.
- ✓Each feature gets its own cost line, so you can show what a change actually did.

Beakpoint natively supports AWS, GCP, Azure, Hetzner, and Heroku. And more support roles out constantly.
Very. Beakpoint tracks costs down to the nanosecond, and our algorithm is built to handle the hardest case: multiple simultaneous requests sharing the same underlying infrastructure. Rather than averaging or estimating, we split costs precisely across every concurrent call. The result is the actual cost to serve a customer or run a feature - not a ballpark.

Our Wily Mascot
Who is Winston?
Winston is a sharp-eyed bird who spent years soaring above the clouds, watching companies struggle to navigate through the fog of confusing cloud costs. One day, he decided enough was enough: someone needed to help these companies see clearly. With determination in his heart and a keen eye for detail, Winston swooped down from his perch to help businesses understand what was really happening beneath all that complexity.
He's not your typical corporate bird. Winston listens more than he squawks, knowing that the best insights come from understanding each company's unique challenges. When the going gets tough (and cloud bills get tougher), Winston doesn't fly away; he digs in his talons and works alongside teams until they find their way forward. He believes every company, whether they're a nimble startup or an established enterprise, deserves to understand where their money is going and why.
Winston has made it his mission to transform confusion into clarity, one dashboard at a time. After all, from his view high above the clouds, he knows that when companies can truly see where they're going, they can soar to new heights.
Winston isn't a real bird. But we love him anyway.
