Comparison
Vantage is a well-established multi-cloud cost platform — 38 integrations, Kubernetes rightsizing, an MCP server — positioning itself as the system of record for cloud, SaaS, and AI costs. CloudRift is built for a different job: finding the waste itself, proving it with evidence, and serving the two audiences big FinOps platforms underserve — MSPs managing client tenants, and teams that need carbon reporting from the same scan.
| Capability | CloudRift | Vantage |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Flat monthly pricing from $99; MSP tier $799 for 15 client tenants (+$49/tenant) | Free tier, then paid plans that scale with your cloud spend (per their published pricing) |
| Built-in MSP tier (multi-tenant + branded client reports + CSP markup) | Not a dedicated MSP product focus | |
| Carbon reporting | GHG Protocol Scope 3 Category 1, audit-ready export | Check current vendor docs |
| Evidence-graded waste findings (utilization data attached to every recommendation) | Cost visibility and recommendations; methodology differs | |
| Read-only analysis; write access only for explicitly approved fixes | Read-only cost data access | |
| AI/LLM spend circuit breakers (AI Governor) | AI cost reporting features exist; verify current scope | |
| On-prem SQL Server estate analysis | — | |
| Free scan without creating an account | Free carbon check at /carbon-check | Free tier available |
