Our fee is 10% of the annual saving the check confirms on each fix you apply. Each fix is assessed and charged separately. If the check confirms less on a fix, the fee on that fix is lower. A fix with no confirmed saving has no fee.

What you get
- A written, dated list. Yours to keep, whether or not you apply anything.
- On every line: the resource, the change, and the monthly saving from your own current bill.
- The evidence for each fix and how confident we are, so your team can check it before acting on it.
- Your team in control. You choose what to apply, and your team makes the changes.
- A highest fee you can work out before you decide: the monthly saving on the list, times 12, then 10%. If the check confirms less, the fee is lower.
The access you grant
You create it in your own account. We send the exact permission list with the access guide, so you can read it before you create anything, and you can remove it any time.
AWS: a read-only role, protected by an external ID.
Google Cloud: read-only access for a service account, on the projects you choose.
Azure: a custom view-only role, assigned to the CloudLevy app on the subscription you choose. No client secret or key is created. The Security page says what it can and can't do.
Not asked for: passwords, root credentials, long-lived keys, or permission to change, create, or delete your cloud resources.
Rather not grant any access? Send us a cost export from your billing console instead. We build your list from your bill, and anything that needs a look at what's running is marked "where to look."
