What We Do

AI-Powered Insights. 1-Click Execution.
Step 1

Connect

Connect your cloud in ~30 seconds. Read-only access, zero risk. No changes to your infrastructure needed. No scripts. No hand-holding.

Step 2

Discover

AI finds savings opportunities: idle resources, rightsizing, anomalies, cost spikes. Automatically detects redundancies across all your accounts.

Step 3

Execute

1-click optimizations with approval workflows and rollback plans. No more spreadsheets, no more waiting on engineering tickets.

Why We're Different

"Azure Cost Management shows data. We show decisions AND implement them."

30-Second Onboarding

OAuth or CloudFormation. No scripts, no agents, no lengthy setup. Competitors take days or weeks.

Read-Only, Zero-Risk

Read-only access by default. No infrastructure changes without explicit approval. Automatic rollback on every optimization.

1-Click Optimization

We don't just show you what to fix. We implement it. With safety guardrails and rollback built in. Competitors leave you with a PDF.

True Multi-Cloud

AWS + Azure + GCP unified in one dashboard from day one. Most competitors are single-cloud or bolt on support later.

Carbon Tracking Built-In

Scope 1/2/3 emissions across all clouds. CSRD compliance reporting. Most competitors don't offer this at all.

Marketplace Native

Available on Azure Marketplace. Use existing cloud credits and commitments. MACC-eligible. No separate vendor onboarding.
