✓
Azure Cost Management + Billing
Azure Cost Management + Billing (C) provides native tools to track, analyze, and optimize cloud spending across all Azure services, including multiple Cognitive Services accounts. It allows you to break down costs by resource, resource group, or tag, and set budgets with alerts. Azure Monitor metrics and logs (E) can capture custom metrics and diagnostic logs from Cognitive Services, enabling you to correlate usage patterns with cost data for deeper analysis.
