Every Engineering Decision Is A Buying Decision

No. CloudZero uses a code-driven approach to organizing cloud spend. Similar to how engineers would define Infrastructure as Code, CloudZero enables teams to use a code artifact to define how they would like to organize their costs, providing them with flexibility, accuracy, and granularity — without having to tag every resource. This allows organizations to align costs with meaningful business metrics, such as products, features, customers, and more — whether your tags are perfect or a total mess. Learn more about how we allocate costs without perfect tagging here.

You can connect to the CloudZero platform in minutes and start seeing value right away. While some special projects may require you to provide us with data, generally getting started requires very little effort. From there, it only takes a few hours to uncover additional metrics like unit cost, cost per customer, etc. Go here to review our entire setup process and the time commitment you can expect at each step.

CloudZero uses a tiered pricing model that’s steady, predictable, and won’t vary month to month. Unlike other cloud cost products, we don’t charge monthly overages — so, if your spend spikes one month, your price stays the same.

Always yes. CloudZero can ingest and unify data from any IaaS, PaaS, or SaaS provider. That includes the big three (AWS, GCP, Azure), but also Kubernetes, Snowflake, Datadog, MongoDB, and whatever else you’re using. We then convert it all into a common data model and present it in a single pane of glass.

Yes. CloudZero’s most notable AI-powered feature is Anomaly Detection, which automatically compares hourly spend data from the past 36 hours against hourly spend data from the prior 12 months, automatically setting “normalcy” thresholds and notifying the relevant engineers during abnormal spend events.

Yes. CloudZero provides both automated and human-identified insights that point you to cost-inefficient cloud infrastructure, and show you how to realize savings.

Yes. Our platform can calculate whatever unit cost metric is most important to you — including cost per customer, per feature, per team, per transaction … the possibilities are endless.

Yes. CloudZero’s AI-powered anomaly detection alerts the relevant engineers during abnormal spend events, guiding them directly to the affected resources.

Yes. CloudZero Analytics lets customers slice and dice our data however they want, creating visualizations and reports related to specific cost goals.

Of course! Every CloudZero customer is assigned a dedicated FinOps Account Manager (FAM) who will implement prescriptive best practices, create custom dimensions and dashboards, and provide continuous consultation for your cloud infrastructure. Your FAM will also conduct monthly check-in meetings, organize executive business reviews, and offer ongoing technical support.
