European Cloud Cost Management Tools

Cloud cost management software reads your billing exports, tags and resource inventory, then shows which team, product or customer is behind every euro of cloud and AI spend. That data describes your whole architecture and your contract terms, so the vendor you connect it to matters. These tools are contracted from France, the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom and Israel.

How we rank these tools — 4-step process
  1. 1
    European ownership, verified

    The company is headquartered and incorporated in the EU, EEA, the UK, Switzerland or Israel, and processes customer data in Europe or Israel. A US parent company disqualifies a tool from this page regardless of where its servers are.

  2. 2
    Category fit and hands-on review

    What the tool actually does, who it suits, and where it falls short — checked against the vendor’s own documentation, changelog and pricing page rather than its marketing copy.

  3. 3
    Compliance and pricing check

    GDPR posture, hosting location and the prices quoted on this page are verified against the vendor’s public pricing before publication, and re-checked when we revisit the category.

  4. 4
    Position on this page

    Placement on this page can be paid, and that can affect the order tools appear in. It never buys a listing: a tool that fails the checks above is not here at any price, and payment does not change the shortcomings we write about. A vendor can ask us to correct a factual error — not to remove a criticism.

Vendors can pay for visibility on this page. It never changes what an entry says about a product, including the criticism, and we earn nothing when you click through to a vendor. Vendors can pay for more visibility, higher up on the review pages; it never affects whether a tool is listed. Editorial policy

Key takeaways

  • Costory (Paris) publishes flat plans from €250 a month with unlimited users and answers cost questions inside Slack.
  • Holori (Toulouse) has a free tier for monthly spend up to $3K and lists Scaleway and OVHcloud next to AWS and Azure.
  • Exivity (Amsterdam) is the one tool in this list built around charging consumers, with showback, chargeback and billing preparation, and its Exivity Core product runs in your own environment.
  • Hyperglance (London) is self-hosted, starts at $899 a month for up to 500 resources, and keeps cloud inventory inside your own infrastructure.
  • COCKPIT by DextraData (Essen) puts cloud costs into an IT budgeting model, with monthly prices of €799 to €999 that include one user.

European cloud cost management software, also called FinOps software, reads the billing and usage data of AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and other platforms, assigns each euro or dollar to a team or product, and flags waste, and choosing a vendor that signs under French, Dutch, German or British law keeps that billing data out of a US parent company's reach.

Every European cloud cost management (FinOps) software tool reviewed

#1 Costory

Paris (Station F), France Starter €250/month, Team €600/month, Business €1,200/month, Custom from €2,500/month; 30-day free trial Demo on request

Best for: Engineering and platform teams that prefer cost answers in a chat channel over a dashboard

  • Operating company. Costory SAS
  • Jurisdiction. EU (France)
  • Where the data sits. EU (stated on the vendor's about page)
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. CloudHealth, Cloudability, Vantage, CloudZero

Costory maps each cloud bill onto your own structure of teams, products and features, then posts changes to Slack with the likely cause and a next step. A follow-up question gets answered in the same thread. The vendor also exposes a FinOps MCP server, so an engineer can ask Claude or Cursor about spend without logging in to another interface. Cloud access is read-only.

Costory SAS sits at Station F in Paris, and its about page states EU data residency. Plans are published: Starter at €250 a month, Team at €600, Business at €1,200 and a Custom tier from €2,500, all with unlimited users, plus a 30-day trial. The cheaper plans refresh daily with a two-day latency, and SSO arrives with Team. The site names AWS and Google Cloud marketplace listings, not Azure.

What Costory does well

  • Published flat plans, unlimited users
  • Alerts and answers in Slack
  • FinOps MCP for Claude and Cursor
  • Read-only access to the cloud accounts
  • Paris company, EU data residency

Where Costory falls short

  • Starter data is daily with two-day latency
  • SSO needs the Team plan or higher
  • Azure marketplace listing not mentioned
  • Newer than the long-standing incumbents

Standout feature. Costory is the only tool here that hands cost data to an AI assistant through its own FinOps MCP server.

#2 Holori

Toulouse, France Free ($0, up to $3K monthly spend), Pro $49/month, Business $199/month, Enterprise on request; 14-day trial Demo on request

Best for: Small and mid-sized teams on several clouds, including Scaleway or OVHcloud

  • Operating company. Holori SAS
  • Jurisdiction. EU (France)
  • Where the data sits. The homepage states that billing and usage data stay in your environment
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. CloudHealth, Cloudability, Vantage

Holori puts Scaleway and OVHcloud in the same integration menu as AWS and Azure, and a custom provider route accepts FOCUS data. Spend is allocated with virtual tags that you drag onto departments, projects or teams, which helps when native tags are inconsistent. The product also covers budgeting, alerts, an asset inventory, infrastructure diagrams and AI and LLM cost tracking.

Holori SAS has its registered office in Toulouse. Pricing is in dollars: a Free plan up to $3K of monthly spend, Pro at $49 a month, Business at $199 and an Enterprise tier on request, with unlimited users and a 14-day trial. Tiers follow the previous month's spend, so a spike can raise next month's plan. Free syncs monthly with one month of retention, and SSO was not described on the pricing page.

What Holori does well

  • Free plan below $3K monthly spend
  • Scaleway and OVHcloud integrations
  • Virtual tags for allocation
  • No per-seat charge
  • Toulouse SAS, registered in France

Where Holori falls short

  • Free plan syncs once a month
  • Prices in dollars
  • Plan changes follow last month's spend
  • Enterprise features not detailed

Standout feature. Holori offers a free plan and lists European hosts as sources, a pairing no other tool on this page matches.

#3 Exivity

Amsterdam, Netherlands Quote on request; flat licence, tiered, multi-year, perpetual or pay-as-you-go models Demo on request

Best for: Service providers and enterprises that charge consumers for hybrid infrastructure usage

  • Operating company. Exivity B.V.
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Netherlands)
  • Where the data sits. Not stated on the pages checked; Exivity Core runs in your own environment
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. CloudHealth, Cloudability, Apptio

Exivity answers a question that most dashboards leave out: what should each customer or internal consumer be charged? Hypermeter allocates cloud, private infrastructure and AI spend, and Exivity Core collects usage data and applies contract-specific rates inside your own environment. Showback, chargeback, unit economics, token economics and billing preparation are all in scope, with FOCUS support.

Exivity B.V. is registered in Amsterdam under KvK number 69674191, and the vendor lists HPE, Dell, Nutanix and Morpheus as partners. Integrations include AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, VMware and ServiceNow. Prices are by quote, with flat licence, tiered, multi-year, perpetual or pay-as-you-go models. The pages we read describe no automated rightsizing, and the Hypermeter data region is not stated.

What Exivity does well

  • Chargeback and billing preparation built in
  • Core installs in your own environment
  • VMware, Kubernetes and ServiceNow connectors
  • AI and token cost coverage
  • Dutch B.V. with a KvK number

Where Exivity falls short

  • No public price list
  • More tooling than a plain cost dashboard
  • No rightsizing automation in the pages checked
  • Hypermeter data region unstated

Standout feature. Exivity rates usage against customer-specific contracts and prepares billing, which turns cloud cost data into an invoice input.

#4 Finout

Israel (Tel Aviv courts under the terms), Israel Flat yearly fee based on forecast cloud and AI spend; quote on request Demo on request

Best for: FinOps teams that split shared costs across business units and many cloud accounts

  • Operating company. Finout Ltd. (customers outside the US and Canada; Finout Inc. for US and Canada)
  • Jurisdiction. Israel (outside the EU/EEA)
  • Where the data sits. Not stated on the pages checked
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. CloudHealth, Cloudability, Vantage

Finout is built around the Virtual Tag, a rule layer that assigns spend to teams, products or customers without changing the tags on your resources. Allocation therefore lives in Finout rather than in a tagging clean-up. Integrations reach past the clouds into AI providers, Snowflake, Databricks, Datadog and GitHub. Other features are CostGuard, anomaly detection, Kubernetes cost, financial plans and the read-only Billy assistant.

The terms name Finout Ltd. for customers outside the US and Canada, with Tel Aviv courts, and Finout Inc. for US and Canadian customers under New York law. Israel is outside the EU and EEA. The fee is a flat yearly amount based on forecast cloud and AI spend, quoted on request. The pages checked do not say where processed data is stored.

What Finout does well

  • Virtual Tags allocate without retagging
  • Shared-cost allocation across units
  • Covers SaaS, data and AI spend too
  • Kubernetes cost included
  • Read-only AI assistant

Where Finout falls short

  • Price only on request
  • Two contracting entities
  • Data storage region unstated
  • Wide integration list may exceed small-team needs

Standout feature. Finout allocates shared costs through Virtual Tags that never touch the underlying resource tags.

#5 Hyperglance

London, United Kingdom From $899/month (up to 500 resources), $1,459 (1,000), $3,144 (3,000), $4,492 (5,000), above that on quote; billed annually; 14-day trial Demo on request

Best for: Organisations that must keep cloud inventory and cost data inside their own perimeter

  • Operating company. Hyperglance Ltd (UK EULA); Hyperglance Inc. for US customers
  • Jurisdiction. United Kingdom (adequacy decision, outside the EEA)
  • Where the data sits. Your own infrastructure (self-hosted)
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. CloudHealth, Cloudability, native cloud cost consoles

Hyperglance is deployed by you and collects data agentlessly from your accounts, so billing and inventory data does not leave your infrastructure. Cost is one module beside diagrams, compliance rules, rightsizing and commitment planning, budgets, anomaly detection and auto-remediation. The vendor's industry pages point at government, defence, financial services and healthcare.

Hyperglance Ltd is a UK company, number 06278143, and a US group company exists for US customers, so check which one signs. Pricing is annual and in dollars: $899 a month for up to 500 resources, $1,459 for 1,000, $3,144 for 3,000 and $4,492 for 5,000, with a 14-day trial. You maintain the install yourself. The integrations are AWS, Azure, GCP and Kubernetes, not European hosts.

What Hyperglance does well

  • Self-hosted, agentless collection
  • Rightsizing and commitment planning
  • Auto-remediation and compliance checks
  • Tiers priced by resource count
  • Registered UK company

Where Hyperglance falls short

  • Staff time to run updates
  • Entry tier $899 a month
  • No European cloud hosts listed
  • US group company next to the UK one

Standout feature. Hyperglance runs inside your own accounts, so the vendor never holds your billing or inventory data.

#6 Umbrella

Israel (city not stated on the pages checked), Israel Pricing on request Demo on request

Best for: MSPs and enterprises that bill several customers or cloud accounts from one platform

  • Operating company. Umbrella Ltd (customers outside the US; Umbrella Inc. for US residents)
  • Jurisdiction. Israel (outside the EU/EEA)
  • Where the data sits. Not stated on the pages checked
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. CloudHealth, Cloudability

Umbrella pitches three audiences on separate pages: enterprises, MSPs and distributors. Its multi-tenant, multi-billing design assumes many customers rather than one company. Features include anomaly detection, a savings tracker, forecasting and budgeting, the CostGPT assistant, GreenOps and coverage of Kubernetes pods and SaaS tools. Savings and forecast figures on the site are vendor claims.

Umbrella says it launched in 2025 as an independent business unit, building on the cloud cost work that Anodot started after acquiring Pileus in 2021, and the homepage explains the Anodot-to-Umbrella change. The terms name Umbrella Ltd for customers outside the US and Umbrella Inc. for US residents, with Israeli law for non-US customers. City, data region and prices are not stated on the pages we could read.

What Umbrella does well

  • Multi-tenant billing for MSPs
  • Anomaly alerts and savings tracking
  • GreenOps view next to cost
  • Israeli Ltd for non-US customers
  • Covers pods and SaaS spend

Where Umbrella falls short

  • No prices published
  • City and data location unstated
  • Separate US entity
  • Reviews may sit under the Anodot name

Standout feature. Umbrella is the only tool here with a distributor and MSP model that bills many end customers from one tenant.

#7 meshcloud

Frankfurt am Main, Germany Custom pricing, no published price list; book a demo Demo on request

Best for: Organisations that govern several clouds and need sovereign European platforms in the same console

  • Operating company. meshcloud GmbH
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Germany)
  • Where the data sits. Governs AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, OpenStack and sovereign European clouds (STACKIT, IONOS, 3DS Outscale)
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. AWS Control Tower, Azure Landing Zones, spreadsheet-based cloud governance

meshcloud solves a governance problem: who may create what, in which account and under which cost centre, across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and OpenStack. Its meshStack platform sets up landing zones and offers developers a self-service marketplace, which the company says cuts a resource request from about 45 minutes to under one minute. STACKIT, IONOS and 3DS Outscale are supported targets, and a FinOps module shows cost across every connected cloud.

meshcloud GmbH is registered in Frankfurt am Main, with commercial register number HRB 116189 on its imprint. It is ISO 27001 and TISAX certified and a CNCF Silver and Linux Foundation member. There is no price list and no self-serve trial, only a demo. The product covers landing zones and account governance and is not a Terraform orchestration engine.

What meshcloud does well

  • One console for AWS, Azure, GCP and OpenStack
  • STACKIT, IONOS and 3DS Outscale supported
  • Self-service marketplace shortens provisioning
  • ISO 27001 and TISAX held
  • Frankfurt GmbH with a sovereignty focus

Where meshcloud falls short

  • Sales call needed for any price
  • No trial without a demo
  • Governance product, not an IaC engine
  • Pays off mainly with several clouds

Standout feature. meshcloud puts sovereign European clouds such as STACKIT and IONOS under the same cost and governance console as the hyperscalers.

#8 PointFive

Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel Pricing on request Demo on request

Best for: Enterprises that want agents to detect waste and prepare fixes across cloud, data platforms and AI

  • Operating company. PointFive Ltd.
  • Jurisdiction. Israel (outside the EU/EEA)
  • Where the data sits. Not stated on the pages checked; sub-processors include AWS and Snowflake
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. CloudHealth, Cloudability

PointFive starts from waste rather than allocation. Its OS runs DeepWaste detections, traces each finding to the resource or decision behind it, and lets Chat, Coworkers and Apps apply a fix once someone approves. Coverage reaches Kubernetes, data platforms and AI providers. TokenShift, a second product, runs on employee workstations and applies budgets and policy to what AI agents do there.

PointFive Ltd. appears in the terms and privacy policy with an address at 114 Yigal Alon St., Tel Aviv-Yafo, and a New York office is listed too. Israel is outside the EU and EEA. The company reports SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001, and lists AWS and Azure marketplaces. Prices are on request, no data region is stated, and the sub-processors named include AWS and Snowflake. Remediation requires write permissions.

What PointFive does well

  • Waste traced back to its cause
  • Fixes applied only after approval
  • Data platforms and AI providers covered
  • SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001
  • Terms name an Israeli Ltd

Where PointFive falls short

  • No published prices
  • US sub-processors named
  • Enterprise-oriented product
  • Write access is a security decision

Standout feature. PointFive pairs waste detection with approval-gated agents that carry out the fix, including for AI token spend.

#9 Cycloid

Paris, France Free (up to 5 users, SaaS), Advanced €39 per user/month, Enterprise €99 per user/month, billed annually Demo on request

Best for: Platform engineering teams that want cost estimates inside the developer portal

  • Operating company. Cycloid SAS
  • Jurisdiction. EU (France)
  • Where the data sits. SaaS or self-hosted; region not stated on the pages checked
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. CloudHealth, Cloudability

Cycloid is an internal developer platform whose cost module shows an estimate before infrastructure is deployed, on the argument that cost belongs in the pipeline rather than in a report a month later. Other features are custom pricing and commissions, automatic tagging, filters by account, project and provider, a self-service portal and blueprints. The cost module lists AWS, Azure and GCP.

Cycloid SAS has its head office at 9 Rue des Colonnes in Paris. A free SaaS plan covers up to five users, Advanced costs €39 per user a month and Enterprise €99, billed annually, and the product can be self-hosted or air-gapped. Pricing follows headcount rather than cloud spend, and the cost module has no price of its own. Scaleway and OVHcloud are not described as supported.

What Cycloid does well

  • Cost estimates before deployment
  • Free SaaS plan, five users
  • Self-hosted and air-gapped installs
  • Custom pricing and commissions supported
  • Paris SAS

Where Cycloid falls short

  • Cost module is one part of a larger suite
  • AWS, Azure and GCP only
  • Charged per user
  • No separate cost module price

Standout feature. Cycloid shows a cost estimate at the moment a developer provisions infrastructure, before any spend exists.

#10 COCKPIT (DextraData)

Essen, Germany Free trial; €999/month (1-year contract), €899 (3-year), €799 (5-year), each including one user, extra full user €35 per user/month; Enterprise on request Demo on request

Best for: IT controlling and finance teams that plan IT budgets with cloud spend in the same model

  • Operating company. DextraData GRC Technologies GmbH
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Germany)
  • Where the data sits. Not stated on the pages checked; on-premise installation for enterprise contracts
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. CloudHealth, Apptio

COCKPIT, from DextraData, begins at the controller's desk. It is an IT financial management product for IT budgets, service catalogues and allocation by cause, and cloud costs and SaaS costs are imported into that model. Forecasts and scenarios are included, along with open APIs. The vendor calls the result a single point of truth for IT and cloud costs.

DextraData GRC Technologies GmbH is registered in Essen (HRB 37332), at Girardetstraße 4. Monthly prices are €999 on a one-year contract, €899 on three years and €799 on five years, each including one user, and extra full users cost €35 a month. A free trial covers one module and one user. Enterprise customers can install on-premise. The pages checked list no supported clouds and no rightsizing.

What COCKPIT (DextraData) does well

  • Budgets, allocation and forecasts together
  • Monthly prices shown on the site
  • Cloud and SaaS cost import
  • On-premise installation for enterprise
  • Essen GmbH with a register entry

Where COCKPIT (DextraData) falls short

  • Not a tool for engineers to optimise
  • Contracts start at one year
  • Cloud providers not listed
  • Entry price above the cheaper SaaS tools

Standout feature. COCKPIT is the only entry that treats cloud cost as one line of a full IT budget and controlling model.

How do I choose between a European FinOps tool and CloudHealth?

Start with the question you need answered. CloudHealth by Broadcom is a US-owned platform whose public product page, in the version we could read, does not list prices. The ten tools here split into four jobs: allocation and alerts (Costory, Holori, Finout, Umbrella), chargeback and billing (Exivity), waste removal (PointFive, Hyperglance), and governance or planning (meshcloud, Cycloid, COCKPIT). A buyer who picks by job rather than by logo rules out most of the list within minutes.

Then check the contracting entity. Costory SAS and Holori SAS are French, Exivity B.V. is Dutch, meshcloud GmbH and DextraData GRC Technologies GmbH are German, Cycloid SAS is French, and Hyperglance Ltd is British. Finout, Umbrella and PointFive are Israeli companies, which is outside the EU and EEA, and each of them also keeps a US entity for US customers.

Which European cloud cost tools publish their prices?

Five of the ten do. Costory lists Starter at €250, Team at €600 and Business at €1,200 a month, with a Custom tier from €2,500. Holori lists Free, Pro at $49 and Business at $199 a month.

Hyperglance lists $899 a month for up to 500 resources, rising to $4,492 for 5,000. Cycloid charges €39 per user a month on Advanced and €99 on Enterprise, with a free plan for up to five users. COCKPIT charges €999 a month on a one-year contract, falling to €799 on five years.

Exivity, Finout, Umbrella, PointFive and meshcloud publish no prices on the pages we read. Finout describes a flat yearly fee tied to forecast cloud and AI spend, and Exivity quotes licence, tiered, multi-year, perpetual or pay-as-you-go models. Expect a demo call before you see a number from any of these five.

Is my billing data safe from US access if I use a European FinOps tool?

The contracting entity matters more than the office address. Costory states EU data residency on its about page, and Hyperglance runs inside your own infrastructure, so the vendor never receives your inventory. Exivity Core also runs in your own environment, while Holori says billing and usage data stay in your environment. Neither Finout, Umbrella nor PointFive states a data region on the pages we checked, and PointFive's terms name AWS and Snowflake as sub-processors.

Read the order form for the entity name. Finout, Umbrella and Hyperglance each have a US company next to the European or Israeli one, and the terms say which customers sign with which. A European brand with a US contracting entity does not remove the question you started with.

How hard is it to migrate away from CloudHealth?

The cost data itself is the easy part, because every tool here reads the billing exports of your cloud accounts directly. Costory describes read-only access, so a security review is short. What does not carry over is your allocation logic: perspectives, tag rules and reports built inside CloudHealth have to be rebuilt as Virtual Tags in Finout, virtual tags in Holori or Hyperglance, or allocation rules in Costory and Exivity.

Run the old and new tool side by side for one full billing cycle and compare the totals per team before you cancel. Holori's free tier and the 14 to 30-day trials at Costory, Holori and Hyperglance make that overlap cheap, whereas meshcloud, Exivity and PointFive start with a demo.

When should I stay with CloudHealth instead of switching?

Stay if your cloud bill is large, spread over many business units, and your finance team already works from CloudHealth reports that auditors have seen. A migration there costs weeks of rebuilding, and none of the European tools claims to replace a long reporting history on day one. Staying also makes sense if you hold a Broadcom or VMware agreement that already includes the product.

Switch when the pain is price opacity, a US parent for sensitive billing data, or a dashboard nobody opens. A team of ten engineers on two clouds gains more from Costory's Slack alerts or Holori's free tier than from a platform designed for a procurement department.

Which tool fits a company that runs on European clouds or on-premise?

Holori lists Scaleway and OVHcloud in its integrations and accepts FOCUS data through a custom provider route. meshcloud governs STACKIT, IONOS and 3DS Outscale beside AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and OpenStack, and holds ISO 27001 and TISAX. Exivity meters VMware and Kubernetes, which suits private infrastructure.

Hyperglance and Cycloid are narrower here. Hyperglance lists AWS, Azure, GCP and Kubernetes, and Cycloid's cost module lists AWS, Azure and GCP, with other providers added on request.

How we selected and ranked these 10 tools

Every tool on this page is in the European Purpose directory, which means the operating company is established in Europe and we have verified that from the company register or the vendor's own legal notice rather than from a marketing page. Tools headquartered outside Europe are not eligible, however good they are.

  1. Feature verification (weight: 40%). We check each capability against the vendor's own documentation and product pages, and record what the tool does rather than what the category is assumed to include.
  2. Ease of adoption (weight: 30%). Integrations, published API access, trial availability and how much configuration stands between signing and a usable result.
  3. Value and transparency (weight: 30%). Published pricing counts in a vendor's favour; quote-only pricing is recorded as quote-only rather than estimated. We weigh what a buyer gets for the entry price, not the headline feature count.
  4. Editorial review. Every page is researched and drafted with AI assistance, and the compliance and pricing claims are checked against the vendor's documentation before it is published under the founder's editorial responsibility. The three weights above decide the order; a position is a ranking against the other European tools in this category, not an absolute score.

Vendor-reported outcomes — ROI figures, margin uplift, time saved — are labelled as vendor claims wherever they appear on this page. We have not audited them, and neither has anyone else who quotes them. Read our full editorial process for how pages are re-verified.

Frequently asked questions

It depends on the job. Costory suits teams that want cost alerts in Slack on published plans, Holori suits small multi-cloud teams with a free tier, Exivity suits service providers that charge consumers for usage, and meshcloud suits organisations governing several clouds, including STACKIT and IONOS. Hyperglance fits buyers who need a self-hosted install, and COCKPIT fits IT controlling teams.

Holori has a free plan for up to $3K of monthly cloud spend, with monthly sync and one month of retention. Cycloid has a free SaaS plan for up to five users, though its cost module sits inside a platform engineering product. Costory, Holori and Hyperglance also offer free trials of 30, 14 and 14 days.

Finout, Umbrella and PointFive are Israeli companies and sit outside the EU and EEA, so they are listed with that jurisdiction stated. The terms of Finout and Umbrella give a separate US entity for US customers. Check the order form and the data region before you assume EU residency.

Exivity is the closest on charging consumers, since it covers showback, chargeback, contract-specific rating and billing preparation. COCKPIT covers allocation by cause inside IT budgets. Neither is built around rightsizing, so teams that want savings recommendations look at Hyperglance or PointFive instead.

Costory describes read-only cloud access. PointFive's agentic remediation needs write permissions, which the review treats as a security decision for your team. Finout's Billy assistant is read-only. Hyperglance can trigger auto-remediation, so its permissions depend on which features you switch on.
