Bring Your BI

Coming Soon Planned Premium

We are planning a way to connect Tableau, Power BI, Excel, or any tool that speaks SQL or REST, directly to the Compare Cloud Costs pricing dataset — build your own dashboards and reports on top of the same data that powers this site, instead of exporting a CSV every time.

Query Multi-Cloud Pricing From Your Preferred BI Tool

Rather than re-exporting the comparison table by hand, point Tableau, Power BI, or Excel at a direct connection to the same normalized pricing catalog — compute, storage, database, networking, AI, and more, across every provider we track — and build the dashboards your team actually needs.

Same dataset as the site

Standard SQL/ODBC/JDBC or REST access

Planned as part of a future premium tier

How It Works

The connection method isn't finalized yet, but the shape of the workflow is settled — three steps from your BI tool to the pricing table.

01.

Connect

Point Tableau, Power BI, or Excel at a Compare Cloud Costs connection using your premium credentials. We're still evaluating whether that's a direct SQL/ODBC endpoint, a REST/OData API, or scheduled exports into a warehouse you already use.

Priority: Tableau, Power BI, Excel

02.

Query the Pricing Catalog

Query the same normalized SKU catalog that powers the comparison table on this site — no more copy-pasting numbers into a spreadsheet or re-running a manual export.

03.

Build Your Own Dashboards

Build the reports and visuals your team actually needs — refreshed on the same cadence as the rest of the site, not a snapshot that goes stale the day you export it.

Refresh cadence: same as the site (currently weekly)

Capabilities

Designed for FinOps and cloud-architecture teams who already live in a BI tool and want multi-cloud pricing as a data source, not another dashboard to check separately.

Access Tied to Your Account

Unlike the anonymous, upload-and-discard flow the other Bring Your tools use, a direct data connection needs to be tied to an identity — this depends on the account and authentication system we haven't built yet.

Same Catalog, No Re-Export

The exact normalized pricing dataset behind this site's comparison table, queryable directly instead of hand-exported.

Premium Tier

Planned as part of a future paid offering, not the free preview the other Bring Your tools currently run under. Pricing and tiers haven't been decided yet.
