AWS cost savings

AWS cost savings software that finds waste and verifies the bill drop

Most AWS cost tools show recommendations. SpendPilot turns them into owned actions and proves savings when your Cost Explorer spend actually drops—so finance and engineering share one source of truth.

Why AWS bills stay high

Idle instances, forgotten volumes, elastic IPs, and oversized databases quietly burn budget across regions. Dashboards list the waste; teams still need ownership, approval, and proof before anyone trusts the savings number.

AWS waste SpendPilot looks for

  • Idle and underused EC2

    Surface candidates that look safe to stop or rightsize so you cut compute spend without guessing.

  • Unattached EBS volumes

    Find disks still billing after instances are gone—classic silent AWS cost waste.

  • Oversized RDS and related waste

    Flag database and networking leftovers (NAT, EIPs, and more) that show up in multi-region scans.

  • Cost Explorer spend sync

    Pull month-to-date AWS spend so Services and Savings stay tied to the real bill—not a spreadsheet estimate.

How AWS cost savings work in SpendPilot

  1. 01

    Connect read-only AWS access

    Use access keys, temporary credentials, or a cross-account IAM role. Secrets stay encrypted; we never auto-delete resources.

  2. 02

    Scan and assign owners

    Map each finding to team, project, and environment so someone owns the fix—not another ignored alert pile.

  3. 03

    Approve → fix → verify

    Track open through verified. We refresh spend metrics and mark savings only when Cost Explorer shows the drop.

Verified savings—not another ignored AWS dashboard

After a fix, SpendPilot re-checks spend and shows verified monthly savings minus your plan cost. That is the net win your team can defend in a cost review.
