Hi Irfan, I took a look at the UI and the descriptions for these two fields are:
*Total Cost:* The total aggregated cost, which includes total click costs and any other costs, such as phone cost. *Cost:* The sum of your cost-per-click (CPC) and cost-per-thousand impressions (CPM) costs during this period. What's not included: Other costs such as cost-per-call aren't included. For a sum of all costs, use the Total Cost column.
