    CloudZero enables engineers to build cost-effective software. The world's leading cloud-driven companies rely on CloudZero for accurate, granular visibility into total cloud spend.

    Overview

    CloudZero is a powerful cloud cost intelligence platform - built to provide visibility, insights, and savings to help drive profitable innovation.

    By aligning engineering and finance teams around metrics like cost per product feature, customer, and development team, CloudZero enables teams to manage spend, drive a culture of cost-efficient engineering, and improve cloud unit economics.

    Even without perfect tagging, customers can use CloudZero to ingest and allocate billing data, split up shared resources, track Kubernetes costs, track PaaS and SaaS costs (e.g., Snowflake, MongoDB, Databricks, Datadog, New Relic), and get a holistic view of total cloud spend.

    CloudZero applies unit cost telemetry for accurate cost-per-tenant measurements. Engineers can self-serve to explore cost data and receive alerts about trends and anomalies. Based on accurate unit cost metrics, organizations can drive go-to-market decisions, such as pricing and discounting.

    CloudZero can help answer questions like:

    • How are engineering changes affecting my systems' efficiency and my company's profitability?

    • Where are there immediate and continuous cost savings?

    • How do new product and feature releases impact cloud costs?

    • What's the cost per tenant of shared cloud resources?

    • How much do specific Kubernetes workloads cost?

    For complex orders or to discuss other product and service delivery options, please get in touch with sales@cloudzero.com .

    Highlights

    • Rapidly allocate cloud spend - including shared costs, Kubernetes, and untagged resources; combine AWS, PaaS, and SaaS spend.
    • Drive a culture of engineering cost accountability; surface trends, detect anomalies, and quickly investigate the root cause of cost issues.
    • Measure and improve unit cost metrics such as cost per customer, product feature, transaction, or team.

     Info
    Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor, and additional usage. You pay upfront or in installments according to your contract terms with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. Usage-based pricing is in effect for overages or additional usage not covered in the contract. These charges are applied on top of the contract price. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before the contract end date, access to your entitlements will expire.
    Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator  to estimate your infrastructure costs.

    Dimensions summary

    CloudZero offers two primary pricing dimensions on AWS Marketplace: an On-Demand option that charges based on every $1,000 of monthly AWS spend, and a Custom option for enterprise-level implementations. Additional usage charges apply when monthly AWS spend exceeds the contracted amount, maintaining a consumption-based pricing model. This structure allows organizations to choose between a standardized pay-as-you-go model or a custom solution tailored to their specific needs, with pricing that scales alongside their AWS usage.

    Top-of-mind questions for buyers like you

    How is CloudZero's pricing calculated based on AWS spend?
    CloudZero's pricing is tied to your monthly AWS spending, with units sold per $1,000 of AWS spend. The platform offers both an On-Demand option for standard implementations and a Custom option for more complex needs, with pricing scaling according to your cloud spend volume.
    What happens if my AWS spending exceeds my contracted amount?
    When your AWS spending exceeds your contracted amount, additional usage charges apply for each $1,000 increment over the contract limit. These overages are calculated and billed monthly through your AWS Marketplace subscription.
    What's the difference between CloudZero On Demand and Custom options?
    CloudZero On Demand provides standard cost intelligence features with straightforward per-AWS-spend pricing. The Custom option offers a more tailored solution with additional features and flexibility, typically suited for enterprises with complex cloud cost management needs or specific requirements.

    What do you like best about the product?
    CloudZero's Kubernetes cost reporting is accurate and very helpful to show engineering teams their share of cluster costs.

    Cost Formation allows you to version dimensions/datasets. In addition, I can create dimensions much faster by defining the dimension in YAML.

    CloudZero seems much more intuitive to use than other cloud cost platforms

    The views are not as busy as other cost reporting platforms making it easier to read/use
    What do you dislike about the product?
    They need to improve their UX. I would like to add users via an API call.

    We would like to see usage in gigabytes with costs for certain AWS services as well as for New Relic costs.

    They need to improve their budgets so you can sort and filter
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Helping with engagement with engineering teams and leadership
    Providing detailed cost dimensions/dataset to make better views. This is especially true in the Kubernetes space
    The ability to notify via Slack has helped with notifications to engineering teams and leadership. Notifications no longer go to the email spam folder
    Putting up soft spending boundaries with the use of budgets and budget notifications
