we are using a subscription bought from an CSP. and we want to know daily billing and consumption . But CSP vendor says that we have to buy a 3rd party application to get daily billing consumption. Is there any way by which we can get daily billing consumption without 3rd party tool.?

can you login the azure portal, and check it via "cost management + billing" menu? – Ivan Glasenberg Aug 24 '20 at 06:16

Ask your partner to transition your Subscriptions to Azure Plan and Activate the Policy "Users in [Company Name] with access to an Azure subscription can view its charges at pay-as-you-go price." in Azure Lighthouse and you will be able to use the Cost Management to see the daily cost. But note that the daily cost is always a few days behind since MS API is built like that – Daniel Björk Aug 24 '20 at 06:30

@GauravMoolani There is no realtime in Azure. There is always delays. Some services can have a delay of a few minutes and some have a few days. So they only way they can do it is to get the pricelist and calculate themselfs and keep track if a service is active or not. – Daniel Björk Aug 24 '20 at 08:16

It depends on your partner, is it a "Direct" or "Indirect".
If it is a direct partner then it has access to Azure Cost Management as explained here, and the can enable you to see retail price consumption here.
If it is an indirect partner then they should provide you a way to follow your consumption (through an in-house app, through a consumption export Excel file or any other communication you have agreed and signed with them as a customer).
Just as a reminder in CSP the Partner is responsible to bill accordingly and to explain your consumption, not Microsoft.
