THE PROBLEM

Your AWS Bill Is Growing, And You Don't Know Why

Most SaaS companies are overpaying on AWS without realizing it. Waste accumulates silently (over-provisioned instances, idle resources, forgotten environments, suboptimal pricing) while your team stays focused on product.

Tools find the easy 10%

ProsperOps and CloudFix automate right-sizing and reservations. They can't question whether you should be running that workload at all. That's where the real waste lives.

Architects find the other 30%: the structural waste no dashboard can touch.

They take a cut. We charge once.

Most tools charge 15-25% of realized savings, every month, forever. We charge $12K flat, one time. The savings are yours.

At $20K/mo in savings, a 25% share tool costs $60K in year one. We cost $12K.

Your investors read your AWS bill

Every month without optimization is another month of 20%+ waste. At $80K/mo in cloud spend, that's $16K walking out the door. A verified cost reduction is one of the cleanest signals for your next board deck.

AWS credits often offset the engagement cost for eligible clients.
IS THIS FOR YOU?

This Engagement Is Built For Teams Like Yours

Growing SaaS Companies

Series A-B companies with $10K–$500K/month in AWS spend. Your infrastructure was built fast to ship product. Now you need to know if you're overpaying.

AWS Bill Getting Out of Hand

Your cloud costs keep climbing but you don't know why. You need a clear picture of what you're spending, where the waste is, and a plan to eliminate it fast.

Raising or in Due Diligence

Investors and auditors scrutinize cloud spend. Coming in with an optimized bill and a clear cost reduction roadmap signals operational maturity, and saves real money before due diligence.

THE SOLUTION

A Proven 4-Step Framework, With a Guarantee

We do the heavy lifting. You watch the bill go down. The engagement finds and eliminates the waste in your AWS bill, and if we don't hit 20%, it's free.

Free Cost Audit

We connect to your AWS environment (read-only) and run a comprehensive analysis. No cost, no commitment. Just clarity on what you're spending and where the waste is hiding.

Read-only access: no write permissions, no disruption
Full scan across every region, service, and account
Complete waste map before any billable work begins
Zero cost, zero commitment: just clarity

Savings Blueprint

We deliver a prioritized action plan showing exactly where to cut: right-sizing, reservations, idle resources, storage optimization, and more. Ranked by projected savings and implementation effort.

Compute right-sizing: EC2, RDS, Lambda
Reserved Instances and Savings Plans strategy
Storage and snapshot cleanup opportunities
Data transfer and networking optimization

Guaranteed Results

We measure the before and after against your baseline. If your AWS bill hasn't dropped by at least 20% within 30 days of implementation, the engagement is free. That's the deal, in writing. You also leave with our proposal for keeping the bill down: ongoing ops, scoped from what the audit found.

why us

Why Startups Trust Cloudacio

AWS Certified Experts

Senior engineers
on every engagement

Over 10 years of real-world experience optimizing AWS environments across healthcare, fintech, and SaaS. Every engagement is led by senior, AWS-certified engineers, not junior consultants.

Performance-Based Approach

Pay for results,
not hours

The 20% guarantee exists because we've done this enough times to know what we'll find. In the environments we audit, at least 20% typically turns out to be recoverable waste, and the free audit confirms it before you pay anything.

Hands-Off Process

Minimal client
time needed

Just 2 hours of your team's time. We do the heavy lifting: data collection, analysis, documentation, and implementation. You focus on running your business.

2 hrs
YOUR DELIVERABLES

What You Walk Away With

Full Environment Audit

Read-only access. Every region, every service, every line item: a complete waste map before any work begins.

Prioritized Savings Report

Ranked optimization opportunities with projected savings, implementation effort, and risk level.

Hands-On Implementation

We don't just hand you a list. Our engineers implement approved changes, safely, in coordination with your team.

Before/After Reporting

Clear measurement of AWS spend before and after, tied directly to the 20% guarantee.

Well-Architected Review Included

Covers cost, reliability, security, and performance, and unlocks AWS credits, $1K to $100K depending on stage and spend, for qualifying companies.

30-Day Cost Monitoring

We stay engaged for 30 days post-implementation to validate the savings hold and tune what drifts.

WHAT YOU GET

3–10x ROI within the first year

The math is simple: a 20% cut on $15K/month of AWS spend returns roughly 3x the fee in the first year, and at $50K/month, closer to 10x, before counting AWS credits. The Well-Architected Review included in every engagement unlocks credits that often offset the cost for eligible clients. And the audit itself is free.

The 20% guarantee, in writing

Measured against your 90-day average baseline, on AWS spend above $10K/month, after you approve and allow implementation. If the bill is not down at least 20% within 30 days, you owe nothing: zero, full stop. Formalized in the engagement agreement.

Ask about the guarantee

The engagement ends with two things: your verified savings, and a proposal for AI Cloud Ops from $3,000/month to keep them locked in. Cloud spend drifts back up without an owner; most clients continue with the team that found the waste.

FAQs

Straight Answers, No Fluff

Here’s everything you need to know before booking your
call.

Who is this for?

SaaS companies with meaningful AWS spend, typically $10K to $500K a month, whose infrastructure was built fast to ship product. The guarantee applies to AWS spend above $10K/month. Below that the audit is still free and still hands you the quick wins, and if you want the full picture of what's fragile, not just what's expensive, that's the $3,500 one-time Production Readiness Review.

What do you actually do?

Four steps: a free read-only cost audit that maps every dollar of waste, a prioritized savings blueprint, hands-on implementation by our engineers without disrupting production, and verified results measured against your baseline. 30 days from kickoff to verified savings, and about 2 hours of your team's time in total.

Do I need to give you full access?

The audit runs on a read-only IAM role: no write access, no credentials to your applications. Implementation happens only after the audit, and you approve each change before it's applied. Every change is documented, and access ends with the engagement.

We already use ProsperOps, CloudFix, or nOps. Do we still need this?

Yes, they're good tools, and we work alongside them. Automation tools optimize within your existing architecture. We find what they can't: overengineered services, workloads that should be managed services, architecture-level waste. Clients using these tools typically still find significant additional savings when we do a deep review.

What does the 20% guarantee actually mean? Is there fine print?

Minimal fine print. The guarantee applies to AWS spend above $10K/month, measured against your 90-day average baseline, and you need to approve and allow us to implement the changes: we can't guarantee savings we're not allowed to implement. If we miss 20% after full implementation, you owe nothing. Full stop. It's in writing in the engagement agreement.

How is $12K flat better than paying a percentage of savings?

Do the math: if you save $20K a month and a tool takes 25% of savings, you're paying $5K a month, or $60K in year one. We charge $12K once and you keep the savings permanently. The only scenario where percentage pricing wins is if your savings are very small, which would mean we missed our guarantee and you didn't pay anyway.

What if we already run a lean environment? Can you still find 20%?

Usually, yes: even teams who thought they were already optimized typically turn out to have 20% or more in recoverable waste. The free audit confirms it before any money changes hands: if we don't see a credible path to 20%, we'll tell you and we won't proceed with a paid engagement.

How do we keep costs from creeping back up afterward?

Cloud spend drifts back up without ongoing oversight. Our AI Cloud Ops retainer keeps the savings locked in with monthly optimization cycles, before/after reporting, and proactive monitoring. Many clients start with the Cost Optimization engagement and move to AI Cloud Ops to maintain the gains.

Prefer to write instead?

Optional, and a rough monthly figure is fine. "Not sure" is a real answer: we would rather read the exact number off your bill later than have you guess at it now.
