Why AWS Cost Optimization Matters

Organizations typically overspend on AWS by 20-40%. Common causes include unused resources left running, oversized instances, missing reserved instance coverage, and inefficient storage configurations.

CloudWrangler analyzes your AWS infrastructure and provides actionable recommendations to reduce costs. We identify unused EC2 instances, oversized RDS databases, idle load balancers, unattached EBS volumes, and more, along with estimated savings for each recommendation.

Unlike expensive FinOps tools, CloudWrangler's cost optimization is completely free. Get the same quality recommendations without the hefty price tag, saving you money on both your AWS bill and your tools.

Savings Plans Advice

Analyze your usage patterns to recommend optimal Savings Plans or Reserved Instance commitments for additional discounts.

Waste Detection

Identify idle load balancers, unused Elastic IPs, orphaned resources, and other sources of cloud waste across all accounts.

Multi-Account Analysis

Get cost optimization recommendations across all your AWS accounts. Perfect for organizations with multiple accounts or business units.

Common Cost Savings Opportunities

Real examples of how CloudWrangler helps teams reduce their AWS bills

Unused Development Instances

Development EC2 instances left running nights and weekends can cost thousands per year. CloudWrangler identifies low-utilization instances and recommends stopping or terminating them.

Average savings: 40-60% on dev/test costs

Oversized Production Databases

RDS instances are often provisioned for peak load but run underutilized most of the time. Rightsizing to smaller instance types can yield significant savings without impacting performance.

Average savings: 30-50% on RDS costs

Orphaned EBS Volumes

When EC2 instances are terminated, EBS volumes sometimes remain attached. These orphaned volumes accumulate over time and add up to significant monthly charges.

Average savings: $50-500/month per account

Idle Load Balancers

Load balancers from decommissioned services often remain running. CloudWrangler identifies ALBs and NLBs with no healthy targets or minimal traffic.

Average savings: $20-50/month per idle LB

Frequently Asked Questions

How does CloudWrangler calculate savings?

We analyze your CloudWatch metrics and AWS pricing to calculate potential savings. For rightsizing, we look at actual CPU, memory, and network utilization. For unused resources, we calculate the monthly cost of running resources with little or no usage.

Is this really free? What's the catch?

CloudWrangler's cost optimization is genuinely free. No credit card, no trial period, no catch. We believe cost visibility shouldn't require paying for expensive tools. Our business model focuses on providing free value to the community.

Will implementing recommendations break my applications?

We provide recommendations, but you decide what to implement. Each recommendation includes the data we used to generate it so you can make informed decisions. We recommend testing changes in non-production environments first.

How is this different from AWS Cost Explorer?

AWS Cost Explorer shows your spending, but doesn't tell you what to do about it. CloudWrangler provides actionable recommendations with specific resources to modify and estimated savings, all across your accounts in one view.

Does it support Reserved Instances and Savings Plans?

Yes! CloudWrangler analyzes your usage patterns and recommends optimal Reserved Instance or Savings Plan commitments. We show you which commitment types will provide the best ROI for your specific usage.
