# Kubecost alternatives for multi-cloud teams

Choose Kubecost for Kubernetes cost depth. Choose Clanker Cloud when cost needs to sit beside topology, incidents, cloud resources, and reviewed changes.

## When Clanker Cloud fits

- Cost needs an operational explanation, not only allocation.
- Spend crosses AWS, GCP, Azure, Cloudflare, and Kubernetes.
- The next step should be a reviewed plan before any infrastructure changes.

## Keep Kubecost when

- Kubernetes allocation, showback, and cluster-specific savings depth are the main requirement.
- Finance needs a dedicated Kubernetes FinOps surface.
