The DigitalOcean wedge

DigitalOcean cost per project, without a spreadsheet.

Tovin.io is the only multi-cloud cost monitor that treats DigitalOcean as a first-class cloud. Map Droplets, databases, Spaces, and Kubernetes spend into the same project ledger you use for AWS and GCP. Read-only token, 90-day backfill, and transparent fixed pricing as spend grows.

Problem

Agencies and indie SaaS teams often create a DigitalOcean project per customer, but still end up reconciling the bill by hand at month-end. Provider-native dashboards stop at the cloud boundary; once AWS or GCP enters the picture, the unified view disappears into a spreadsheet.

Solution

Tovin.io normalizes DO into the same ledger as AWS and GCP. Keep provider detail for audit; map spend to a canonical project name used across all providers. Anything that fails tag, account, and regex rules stays visible in an unallocated bucket — never guessed, never hidden.

Free guide

The companion guide — DigitalOcean Cost API Gotchas — walks through the practical normalization patterns, tagging conventions, and rule-engine examples for DO billing data. Free, no signup.

Frequently asked

Can Tovin.io show DigitalOcean cost per project?

Yes. The page is designed around project, tag, and resource-name mapping for DigitalOcean spend, with the same project keys used for AWS and GCP.

Does DigitalOcean need to be my only provider?

No. The wedge is strongest when DigitalOcean sits next to AWS or GCP and the team needs one project ledger that includes all three.

Does setup need a write-capable token?

No. Tovin.io only accepts read-only DigitalOcean tokens. The token is validated on connect with a no-op /v2/account call and KMS-encrypted at rest.

How far back does the data go?

Up to 90 days on first connect, depending on the DigitalOcean billing API window. After that, daily ingestion keeps the ledger current.

What about Droplets, Spaces, Databases, and Kubernetes?

All chargeable DO products are normalized into the project ledger. The provider-side resource name and project are preserved so audits can trace any dollar back to the line item.

Add DigitalOcean to the same project ledger as AWS and GCP.
