Fixed-scope setup
The GCP Cost Visibility Setup is a one-off engagement, usually priced between $1.5k and $3k.
The exact price is confirmed after the free call. The point is to avoid selling work that is too small, too broad or not useful for your current environment.
What affects the price
Pricing depends on the amount of setup and review needed.
- Whether billing export already exists
- Whether standard and detailed export decisions are already clear
- Number of billing accounts and projects
- Dashboard complexity
- Alerting requirements and notification routing
- Whether Looker Studio, BigQuery views or both are needed
- Amount of FinOps Hub review and handover detail
Typical scenarios
Lighter setup: around $1.5k
Best for teams that already have billing export enabled and need cleaner dashboards, budget alerts and a practical monthly review process.
Standard setup: around $2k-$2.5k
Best for teams with several projects or services, incomplete billing export setup, and a need for clearer dashboard views and alert routing.
Heavier setup: up to $3k
Best for teams with more project complexity, unclear billing data, additional alerting requirements or more handover detail across stakeholders.
What you get
The engagement includes the same core outcomes regardless of where it lands in the range:
- Billing export setup or validation
- Dashboard and cost views
- Budget alerts
- Recommendation review
- CUD readiness check where relevant
- Handover pack and walkthrough
Why not a percentage of savings?
This service is about cost visibility and control, not performance-based savings claims. I do not promise magical savings and I do not take a percentage of hypothetical reductions.
Good cost visibility can help your team find waste, prioritise follow-up work and create a monthly review habit. Whether savings happen depends on your workloads, architecture, usage patterns and willingness to make changes.
Payment and timing
The commercial details can stay simple: fixed scope, agreed price, clear deliverables and a defined handover. If your environment is not a fit, I will say so during the free call.
