Bring your Azure bill into the same view as everything else

Track Azure spend every day per service and resource group, with Azure OpenAI and Azure AI services counted as AI. Split it by team with a resource tag.

Highlights

One role, read only

RootSpend only needs the Cost Management Reader role. It can read what you spend and nothing else.

AI lands in AI

Azure OpenAI and Azure AI services go to the AI tools category, next to OpenAI and Claude.

Teams by tag or group

Give whole resource groups to teams, or set one tag key and let the tag values decide.

What you get from Azure

  • Daily cost per service and resource group, credits included
  • Azure OpenAI and Azure AI services under AI tools
  • Spend per team from a resource tag (optional)
  • Resource groups you can hand to a team
  • Budgets, forecasts and spike alerts

What it doesn't do yet

  • Cost per person. Azure bills have no users, so teams claim resource groups or use a tag.
  • Marketplace products you also connect directly can be counted twice unless you leave them out with a rule.

Your cloud bill, next to your AI bill

Azure OpenAI is one of the biggest AI costs for many companies, and it hides inside the cloud invoice. RootSpend pulls it out and puts it next to the rest of your AI spend.

How it works

You register an app in Microsoft Entra ID and give it the Cost Management Reader role. RootSpend reads daily cost per service and per resource group, one month at a time. Set a tag key, like team, and the split happens per tag value instead.

Azure questions

An app registration in Microsoft Entra ID with the Cost Management Reader role on a subscription, or on a billing account to see all of them. You give RootSpend the tenant ID, client ID, a client secret and that scope.

The actual cost, which is what you're billed, before reservations are spread over time.
