Runtime cost allocation across cloud, AI and shared infra

Whether your spend lives in AWS, GCP, Azure, or third-party services like OpenAI, Anthropic, Snowflake, and MongoDB Atlas, your AI bills land as a single line item. You can’t see which customer hit your inference endpoint, which feature triggered a inference, or which model train burned the most GPU hours.

Attribute’s eBPF sensor reads runtime traffic regardless of provider, mapping every token call back to the team, customer, workload, or feature and every GPU-hour back to the job or experiment that consumed it.

A cube with the letter “a” beside icons for Snowflake, OpenAI, Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, and MongoDB highlights cloud service integration and cloud cost attribution.
Attribution gap

Tagging breaks on shared infrastructure

Shared clusters, databases, and queues have no single owner. Tags can't split what was never separable; only 43% of cloud costs are tracked at the unit level (Gartner, 2025) leaving the majority cloud spend to go unattributed.

Blind spot

AI and LLM costs are invisible

Customers, agents, and inbound traffic blur together, making it impossible to allocate without runtime visibility.

No source data

Networking costs cannot be traced

Egress charges, cross-AZ transfer, NAT gateways. The bill arrives but no tool identifies which workload caused it. You need to see traffic at the source.

Before / After Attribute
// Other Tools

"Your EC2 cost is up 17% month over month."


A number without context. Now your team spends three days digging through tags, dashboards, and Slack threads to figure out why.

// Attribute

"ACME Corp's consumption is up $44K and token consumption is up 50M driven by the new auto-summary feature launched last month."


Usage tied to the business activity behind it. Finance gets the answer. Engineering gets back to building.

Attribute
Attribute eBPF
Runtime cost observability. The sensor watches traffic to any cloud resource from AI to GPUs, databases to storage or Kafka, and allocates by actual usage.
Legacy
Tag based tools
Force you to label everything. Useless for shared resources, network, and AI, where there's nothing to label.
Legacy
Manually ingested telemetry
Make you build complex data pipelines and model your own attribution logic. More work for your data team, slower answers.
Legacy
K8s only tools
Cover only Kubernetes spend. Miss AI, GPU clusters, databases, network, leaving you blind to true TCO.

AI & LLM Cost Intelligence

AI costs are growing fast, and most teams can’t explain where the budget is going. Attribute gives you the full picture: which teams, products, and customers are driving your AI bill, broken down by model, provider, and workload. See the true TCO of every AI capability you ship, from inference costs to the compute and databases behind it.

Per Customer Cost

You can’t tag a customer. Tags track infrastructure. Customers move through it. Attribute uses deep packet inspection to observe incoming traffic and identify customer IDs, vendors, partners, and bots directly in the data stream

Finance and engineering get the true cost to serve each account. COGS per customer, margin by tier, and a clear view of which accounts are quietly draining your P&L.

Instant Showback / Chargeback

Attribute’s runtime consumption reports act as a single source of truth for engineering, finance, and leadership. By automatically allocating every cloud cost to the workload, service, and team responsible, every cost is mapped based on actual consumption.

How It Works

Modern shared infra needs modern cost observability.

Shared GPU & LLM gateways, Databases, k8s cluster, and the black box of network traffic are not compatible with tagging; Attribute leverages eBPF (runtime network traffic analysis) to observe how every dollar mapped back to the customer, team, feature, or agent that triggered it.

From cloud bill to customer cost

“Attribute turns our runtime data into clear business signals. They show us what each customer costs and what's driving those costs.”

Tag less. Know more.

“Attribute not only automated and simplified the allocation of our cloud costs, it revolutionized it. By eliminating the need to tag thousands of resources has freed up my team and we’ve invested our efforts in enhancing our platform significantly.”

AI pricing built on real margins, not guesswork

“Attribute gave us visibility into margins at the customer level for the first time. That changed how we price and how we sell. For the first time, finance and go-to-market are working from the same numbers, so we can price AI based on real margins, not assumptions.”
