Frequently asked questions
Is Lumicost aimed at the same audience as Vantage?+
Yes — engineering teams who want self-serve, transparent FinOps. Lumicost's differentiator is the combined FinOps + SOC 2 evidence + cross-cloud migration scope.
Can I migrate from Vantage easily?+
Both products use read-only cloud credentials, so onboarding to Lumicost doesn't require uninstalling Vantage. Run them in parallel for 30 days, then cut over.
Does Lumicost cover everything Vantage does?+
For multi-cloud cost visibility, optimization and chargeback — yes. We don't currently have Vantage's Resource Reports for SaaS costs (Datadog, GitHub, etc.); we focus on cloud infrastructure.
