Hello Product Hunt community! I’m Chetan, the maker of SpendLens. After 15+ years managing large-scale IT infrastructure, enterprise cloud environments, and DevOps teams, I kept running into the same problem across companies: cloud cost visibility often comes with a security tradeoff. Most FinOps and cost optimization tools ask for live third-party IAM access, read-only credentials, or cloud API permissions. In environments with strict governance, compliance requirements, or cautious security teams, that becomes an immediate blocker. That’s why I built SpendLens. SpendLens helps engineering, DevOps, and finance teams understand AWS, Azure, and GCP bills in plain English without connecting to live cloud infrastructure. How it works: Zero live access: No IAM roles, no read-only credentials, no cloud API keys. Local processing: Upload your raw billing CSVs or logs, and SpendLens parses them locally in your browser or inside your own self-hosted container. Your billing data never has to leave your environment. Actionable insights: SpendLens flags orphaned resources, idle instances, unassigned NAT gateways, and turns confusing cloud billing rows into clear remediation actions. We’re officially live today, and I’d love your honest feedback. If you manage cloud spend, how are you currently finding cost leaks without giving external tools access to your cloud accounts? I’ll be here all day to answer questions and chat. Thank you for the support!

How do you manage cloud waste without giving live IAM access?

I built SpendLens because a lot of cloud cost tools solve visibility by asking for live access to your cloud account.

For many teams, that is the problem.

Security and compliance teams often do not want to approve third-party IAM roles, API keys, or read-only credentials just to understand a billing dashboard.

SpendLens takes a different approach: upload an AWS, Azure, or GCP billing CSV and get plain-English cost insights without connecting your live cloud infrastructure.
