The Databricks bill is a black box

Your data team ships faster than your FinOps process can follow. By the time finance asks, the waste has already scaled.

Costs buried in system tables

Useful data lives in system.billing.usage — but nobody has time to write the SQL, join the price catalog, and build attribution logic.

EDP commitments are invisible

You signed a multi-year commitment. You have no real-time burn-down, no over-commit alerts, and no scenario modelling to renegotiate from data.

AI agent costs are exploding

Genie, model serving, foundation models — each bills differently. Nobody has a unified view of compute + tokens + infrastructure per agent.

Five modules. One control plane.

Modular by design — deploy what your team needs today, expand as your FinOps practice matures.

Custos Lens

Cost intelligence & DBU attribution

Turn system.billing.usage into team-level cost attribution with EDP burn-down, anomaly detection, and waste identification.

  • Daily spend by team & SKU
  • EDP commitment burn-down
  • 3σ anomaly detection
  • ROI & waste calculator

Custos Pulse

AI agent & workload observability

Full visibility into agent fleet health, token costs, quality genome, and Unity AI Gateway model serving — the cost view your AI platform doesn't show.

  • Agent fleet health scoring
  • Token cost by endpoint
  • Quality genome radar
  • Runaway agent kill-switch

Custos Guard

Policy-as-code & budget enforcement

Define budget caps, governance rules, and auto-remediation in YAML. Get audit trails, compliance scores, and financial outcomes of governance.

  • YAML-defined budget rules
  • Auto-terminate idle clusters
  • Per-agent cost caps

Up and running in minutes

No agents. No code deploys. No data pipelines. CustosIO reads directly from Databricks system tables.

Step 01

Connect your workspace

Provide read-only access via Databricks host URL and token. Runs as a native Databricks App — your data never leaves your workspace.

Step 02

Analyze automatically

CustosIO scans system.billing.usage, identifies waste, detects anomalies with 3σ rolling baseline, and maps costs to teams via resource tags.

Step 03

Control and share

Set budget policies, allocate costs via Custos Ledger, and send weekly CFO digests to stakeholders. Guard enforces policies automatically.

Why CustosIO over everything else

Generic cloud cost tools don't understand DBUs, EDP, Genie, or Unity AI Gateway. We do.

Summit 2026

Genie pay-as-you-go tracker

Genie billing went live July 2026. Custos Lens was the first FinOps tool to track per-user Genie DBU spend from system.billing.usage.

AI-native

Full AI agent cost picture

Unity AI Gateway shows token costs. CustosIO adds compute + infrastructure. Custos Pulse gives you the total agent cost Unity AI Gateway can't.

Zero-egress

Native Databricks App deployment

Deployed as a Databricks App. No external SaaS, no data export, no custom connectors. Read-only system table access. Live in 5 minutes.

FinOps-grade

Policy enforcement with financial outcomes

Custos Guard doesn't just alert — it terminates, pauses, and enforces with a YAML policy file. And shows you the dollar impact of every rule.

Simple, transparent pricing

CustosIO pays for itself when it reduces Databricks waste by even 1–3%. Start with a free audit.
