Cost Compare

Paste two trace windows to see which model, provider, or release actually moved spend.

Compare two trace windows

Paste a baseline and a changed window to see which model line moved. Parsing stays in your browser tab, and the diff updates live as soon as both windows are valid.

  1. 1Paste the baseline trace window into Period A.
  2. 2Paste the changed trace window into Period B.
  3. 3Export the model delta once the cause is obvious.

Period A

Use the baseline window you trust today so the delta reads against a stable starting point.

Period B

Paste the changed window here to isolate the release, routing, or workload shift that moved spend.

Comparison updates live as you paste or type into both fields.

Diff the bill

Spot the model line that changed before the invoice lands

Compare is the fastest route from the bill moving to a concrete model delta. Use it when a deploy, provider route, or tenant burst changed cost and you need a clear before-and-after readout before the RCA.

  • Bring the baseline window that finance already trusts.

  • Isolate the exact model deltas instead of debating the total invoice in aggregate.

  • Export the diff as soon as the spike is visible, then save the baseline only if the same question keeps coming back.

Use cases

Three moments this compare view earns its keep

Use compare when a release check, routing change, or incident review needs a before-and-after readout that finance and engineering can discuss from the same numbers.

Release regression checks

Diff the last known-good window against the new deploy to see whether model mix, retry volume, or routing changed spend.

Provider and model swaps

Compare before and after a routing change when you need one table that shows which model line actually moved.

Incident follow-up

Bring two trace exports to the RCA and leave with a model-level delta that finance and engineering can read the same way.

FAQ

Questions teams ask before they trust a spend diff

The free route gives you a live model delta now; saved comparisons come later if the same check becomes a weekly habit.
