• Direct cloud integration with the help of cloud billing APIs.
• Run directly inside Kubernetes cluster to accurately gather the metrics.
• Provides container resizing insights based on the container's actual resource usage.

• Provides insights into the right container sizing; however, manual intervention is still needed to fix them.
• Kubecost shows only a picture of a Kubernetes cluster; however, actual costs don't depend solely on that, as the application might use databases and storage that reside outside containers.
• Setting up Kubecost is somewhat complex because it must be installed inside the cluster along with other dependent tools.

Our engineers liked the devops dashboard and the initial deployment was very fast which meant the cost-allocation data was available right after deployment which the team further customized and enhanced based on our needs. Version 3.0 fixed a lot of concerns with the backend responsiveness, especially when running heavy multi-cluster api calls

Kubecost is easier to get started with. Very low ramp-up cost and time. Radar is also nice; it’s free and can be used self-hosted. Kubecost has more integrations and is a larger project. That said, Radar has a more robust dashboard and is enterprise-friendly.

• Given that we are going through a cloud transformation journey, IBM Kubecost has helped reduce the infra cost by up to 20% by detecting any wrong configuration early in the process
• It also helped us determine the idle and orphaned resources that we could cleanup to save costs
