Looks great, would love and use something like this for GCP
Absolutely, we are already looking into. We are also looking into providing reports that can support multiple cloud providers.

Hello, I run a small DevOps consulting company. Can we create one single CloudForecast.io account with independent customers of ours each having multiple AWS accounts? Essentially a single login to view all customers grouped by AWS account?

Thanks for the question. That's a use case we haven't considered yet, great feedback!
As of today, we are using the Organization concept in AWS so "One CloufForecast.io account" == "One Master billing account in AWS". Your use case seems to be slightly different since it's multiple accounts across multiple clients. I would love to discuss options with you and see if we can help. We recently started discussing options with consultant/agency to figure out how to best work together. Please reach out to us at hello@cloudforecast.io.

#14We have been using this at Doximity for a while now it is excellent. The daily reports and clear indicators of increase/decrease are helpful to identify spikes at a glance.
You are also listed and quoted on their homepage. You must really, really like it I guess

#15Nice service. At the moment, I have set a couple of billing alarms which trigger at certain thresholds, so that I know if we are going to be over budget by the end of the month. But a daily report would be handy.
Our usage is fairly low (~$1K/mo), so even the lowest pricing tier is not within our subscription budget now, but I can see it being so as we grow.
One question (I haven't gone through the specs in detail) but does the daily email provide other hints on saving costs as well (i.e. alerts when a reserved instance expires etc.)?

Hi! So it sounds like your company qualifies for our "startup lite" plan which is listed below our standard pricing on the website. Part of our mission is to empower companies like yours with the same tools that the big guys have. Do you mind sending me an email at kacy@cloudforecast.io? I'm happy to share how that plan works. Thanks!

#18Some tips to improve the website (Last time I did this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16621584):
Make the header's height larger. It's very, unusually small, compared to the vast majority of the internet. At least add some top/bottom padding.
Please work on the contrast of the "Start Free Trial" buttons, they are hard to read.
Use or configure your header/menu font better. On chrome, windows 10 it's ugly: https://i.imgur.com/FpsHTkX.png
Add some effect to the screenshot, so people it's a screenshot of the app and not some random image.
Add some color to the references slider's arrows. No contrast there.
The pricing buttons being different is weird: https://i.imgur.com/qJI9cPw.png
Fix the legends being blurry in this screenshot: https://cloudforecast.io/images/CloudForecast-email---as-of-...
Change the "Contact Us" links to an actual page, showing the email, and a mailto handler there. I really dislike how it is right now (link with mailto handler), as I may not be interested to email right away. Maybe I'm looking for where you guys are HQ'd?

2005 called, they want their button borders back: https://i.imgur.com/eSitJwC.png
A text with "I accept the Terms" is not consent.
There is no Data Usage/GDPR info linked on the signup screen. How is my data used?
Maybe use some different typeface for these progress labels? They look bland, boring, and I only saw them at the third look. https://i.imgur.com/qcoAuHs.png

#19Any plans to extend this to other cloud providers like Azure and GCS?

Thanks! This is very useful feedback and definitely a lot of good points. I'll be sure to return those borders back to 2005! It definitely wasn't the intended design. I'll need to do some more testing on Windows. :)
