Today LevelFour expands from cloud costs to Cloud, SaaS, and AI spend. Connect AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Snowflake, Datadog, OpenAI, Anthropic, or any other provider you pay, and LevelFour keeps one system of record for all of it, allocated to the teams that use it.

Cloud Savings stays at the center of the product. We're taking what it does, savings delivered as code or applied for you, to the rest of your technology spend.

## Why we built LevelFour

We started LevelFour 11 months ago to fix a problem we saw for years working in Engineering. FinOps would set a savings target and toss it over to Engineering with no strategy and no context, only the number.

We built LevelFour for both sides of that handoff. FinOps practitioners get visibility and control over spend. Engineers get the tools to ship each optimization in their code or their infrastructure.

Since then, dozens of companies, from startups to large enterprises, have brought millions of dollars in cloud spend to LevelFour, and we've delivered millions in savings for them.

## Cloud is one part of your technology spend

Your company pays for more than cloud. Data platforms bill in credits, AI APIs in tokens, and coding assistants per seat. Each provider sends its own invoice in its own unit, so your FinOps team rebuilds a spreadsheet each month to add them up.

## What's new

### One System of Record for Cloud, SaaS, and AI

LevelFour ingests the billing data of each provider you connect, whether it charges by usage, by seat, or by commitment, and converts it into one currency. Your boards show Cloud, SaaS, and AI side by side, and one click switches the view from providers to categories.

### Allocation, showback, and chargeback

Write a virtual tag rule once and LevelFour allocates spend from every provider to your teams, products, or cost centers, without retagging resources. Each team gets showback on its own spend, and Finance runs chargeback by cost center from the same allocation, with an auditable trail.

### Anomalies, budgets, and forecasts

Set a budget for each team and LevelFour forecasts where its spend will land. LevelFour flags a cost spike the day it starts and sends the anomaly alert to Slack, Microsoft Teams, or any tool that takes a webhook. In Slack, you reply in the thread and the FinOps agent answers there, for example with the savings open on the service that crossed its budget.

### Cloud savings, delivered

LevelFour runs rate optimization end to end, from Reserved Instances and Savings Plans to committed use discounts, and usage optimization from rightsizing to network and data transfer. You choose how each saving ships: LevelFour applies it in your cloud with access scoped to that one change, or opens a pull request your engineers merge. Then it measures the result in Savings Audit against your detailed bill, down to the resource.

You pay a 30% success fee on realized savings. No savings, no fee. [See pricing](https://levelfour.ai/pricing.md).

### Shift-Left FinOps

The LevelFour bot prices each pull request at your own rates on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps. Your team writes the guardrails as policy as code. A pull request over its limit waits for a fix you apply in one comment, then merges.

### Built for engineers and their agents

Engineers get the same data where they work. The MCP server answers in Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Antigravity, or any MCP client. The l4 CLI runs in your terminal and your CI, and the REST API and SDKs bring costs into developer portals like Backstage, Port, and Cortex. [Read the docs](https://docs.levelfour.ai).
