Vantage Pricing 2026: Free to $2,500 of Spend, $30 and $200 Plans, Enterprise Custom
Vantage publishes one of the clearest rate cards in FinOps: three self-service plans with fixed monthly prices, each capped by the cloud spend it will track, and an Enterprise tier above them. The usage-based elements are two optional features, Autopilot and the FinOps Agent, each of which takes a share of the savings it creates.
Every figure on this page was read from Vantage's own pricing page, documentation, online store or its own AWS Marketplace listing on 1 October 2026, and each one links to where it came from. Vantage has not reviewed this page. Nothing here is estimated: where the vendor publishes no number, the page says so. How we source prices.

Reading the Numbers
At the Business cap the plan costs $200 against $20,000 of tracked spend, which is 1.0% of that month's bill; at lower spend the share is higher. Teams above $20,000 a month of cloud spend are outside every published Vantage price and into an Enterprise quote.

How Vantage Compares With the Other Graded Tools

Vantage Pricing FAQ
How much does Vantage cost?
Vantage's pricing page (read 1 October 2026) lists four plans: Starter is free up to $2,500 of tracked cloud spend, Pro is $30 a month up to $7,500, Business is $200 a month up to $20,000, and Enterprise is custom-priced with unlimited tracked spend. Prices exclude local tax.
What happens if my cloud spend goes over my Vantage plan limit?
Vantage enforces tier limits on your previous month's total accrued costs. If costs exceed your tier, cost data is obscured in the console until you upgrade. Above the Business plan's $20,000 cap, the next step is an Enterprise contract.
How much does Vantage Autopilot cost?
Autopilot for AWS Savings Plans is optional and charges 5% of the savings it finds. Vantage's own example: on a $10,000 monthly EC2 bill, if Autopilot buys Savings Plans that save $3,000 a month, the fee is $150 and net savings are $2,850. Existing Savings Plans are not charged, and Autopilot recommendations for RDS, ElastiCache, Redshift and OpenSearch carry no fee.
Does Vantage add charges to my AWS bill?
A small amount. Vantage says it uses the AWS Cost Explorer API, which AWS bills at $0.01 per call, only when you view accrued costs in the Vantage console, and that customers typically see less than $1 of extra charges a month.
