What is Cast AI?

Cast AI is a cloud cost monitoring platform that tracks spending across multiple cloud providers in real time. It shows you where your money is going, alerts you when costs exceed budgets, and provides analysis to help reduce unnecessary spending. The tool is designed for teams and organisations that use cloud infrastructure and want to understand and control their cloud expenses without manually reviewing bills or running complex reports. It works with major cloud providers and offers both free and paid plans, making it accessible whether you're running a small project or managing enterprise-scale infrastructure.
