In Azure: Sidebar -> Cost Management + Billing -> Cost Management -> Cost analysis (preview).
It's slow, you can't open links in new tabs, one wrong click and you have navigate to the right page and wait for everything to refresh again, but you can get the list of billed items. Plus a "Other subscription charges" that contains some mystery costs not linked to anything.

‘ contains some mystery costs not linked to anything’
Hard to believe that really is the case for a product targeting serious customers in 2021. Doesn’t that make a surprise bill still possible?
The state of cloud billing seems like exactly the result you'd get if you didn't have a strong mandate that product teams implement a unified, centralized billing interface.
And it makes sense from a growth perspective: new products grow revenue, bad billing systems only annoy customers (but mostly invisibly).

vantage looks like a cost analyzer. vantage free tier will help you find non-free tier issues on AWS, if i understand the GP's point.

I mean't the Vantage free tier - not the AWS/Azure free tiers.
The UI to see a list of running services, sorted by cost is precisely what Vantage offers (and more)
AWS and Azure both have pretty straightforward free tiers, but people end up accidentally racking up large bills anyway. A UI to see a list of running services, sorted by cost either doesn't exist or is not prominent enough.
