For an (offline) alternative, check out → https://github.com/similarweb/finala (written in Go)

I started using Finala a couple of months ago out of experimentation, it works well, but you need to tweak the configuration a lot to help the tool understand your infrastructure, spending habits and normal usage. My colleagues are very happy with the results, we started saving ±1.8k per month, which is pocket change for our scale but is still money that we can spend on other things.

That looks really neat. I guess it doesn't even have to be offline if you deploy it somewhere. I doubt we're currently at the scale to utilise this to its full potential but I've saved it for later.

Thank you for posting an offline alternative!

I'd say the biggest difference is that we handle everything (so that engineers can focus on actual product dev) and also offer white-glove service to all of our customers. For midsized and up, we offer 24/7/365 access to an engineer for any questions or problems with the Usage dashboard.
