What are the biggest gaps and pain points in today's cloud cost platforms?"

I'm researching how small startups (1–50 engineers) manage AWS costs.

If you're responsible for AWS spending, I'd love to understand your workflow.

1. How do you currently monitor AWS costs?
2. Which tools do you use? (AWS Cost Explorer, Vantage, CloudZero, etc.)
3. What's the most frustrating part of managing cloud costs?
4. Have you ever received a surprisingly high AWS bill? What caused it?
5. Which cost optimization tasks are still manual?
6. Have you tried any third-party FinOps tools? Why did you keep using them or stop?
7. If you could automate one cloud cost task today, what would it be?
8. If a tool could save you money with minimal setup, what would convince you to trust it?

I'm trying to understand real pain points before building.
