Our Engagement Modes

Done for You

We offload as much as possible of the hands-on optimization work

  • We take care of cloud costs so your team can focus on your products
  • You start saving money immediately
  • We keep a small cut of the savings
  • You remain with lower cloud costs after we're done

Done with You

We work side by side with your team to optimize your cloud costs together

  • We show your team what we do and help them adopt an efficiency mindset
  • You start saving money immediately
  • We keep a small cut of the savings
  • You remain with lower cloud costs after we're done

Do it Yourself

Our cost savings automation software will save you money while you sleep

  • Start saving in minutes for certain AWS resources
  • Minimal effort and no config changes
  • We help you getting started if needed
  • You're billed a single digit percentage of the savings

We believe in aligning incentives and getting to a win-win, so we only charge based on results, taking a fair cut of the savings for a few months after the optimization actions are implemented.

Amortized over a year, it typically costs you less than a typical FinOps SaaS tool.

Cost Savings Automation Software

Since we charge based on results, the more and fastest we deliver savings, the better for us and our customers.

We therefore heavily invest in automation, building simple but powerful tools that automate much of our manual or repetitive work, to make it less error prone, faster and more reliable.

We keep improving these tools over time, and once we're confident to give them to people to run them without our involvement, we offer them as products for anyone to use.

Automated savings

Automatically optimize certain resources for up to 90% savings, completely on auto-pilot.

Get started in minutes

Run locally or install quickly from CloudFormation or Terraform code.

No configuration changes

We use tags to control the optimizations, without having to reconfigure resources.

Secure by design

Self hosted serverless software, CLI or desktop apps, running with minimal IAM permissions.

Privacy focused

There's no SaaS backend that knows everything about your setup.

Priced fairly

We only charge a small percentage of the savings through the AWS Marketplace.

    AutoSpotting

    Automation that makes it a breeze to safely adopt Spot Instances in AutoScaling groups, without configuration changes, with automated instance type diversification, bias to newer instance types for increased performance, and with failover to On-Demand instances.

    EBS Optimizer

    Convert EBS volumes attached to your EC2 instances to the most suitable volume type, for lower costs with often better and more predictable performance.
