No percentage fees. No subscriptions. No credit cards. Only savings.
Cloud Savings
Free forever plan
No fees, no invoices, no credit cards, no "percentage off the top" …It truly is 100% free
Not offered. Access requires a demo request or a time-limited trial (commonly 30 days), no self-serve free-forever tier.
Commitment planner
Pump optimizes commitments for your ever-evolving cloud requirements. Faster than AWS, CE, & CUR
Reservation recommendations generated for AWS, Azure, GCP; purchase/resale execution not documented, applied manually.
Idle instance detection
Quickly identify & shut down idle instances
Detects idle and orphaned resources and can auto-remediate after a grace period, routed through notification workflows.
Autopilot continuous monitoring
Around the clock analysis of your cloud usage
Cost anomaly workflow routes violations to ITSM tasks or email; platform does not directly change the flagged resource.
Rightsizing
Match instance size to real usage patterns
Rightsizing recommendations support a 'Remediate Now' one-click apply, plus schedule or approval-based execution paths.
Automatic budget alerts
Get notified before you overspend via Slack and Email
Budget rules support percentage-of-budget thresholds with configurable actions, including auto-shutdown, on breach.
Modernization recommendations
Suggests newer & cheaper instances to meet the same requirements
Not documented. Materials reference EC2 Intel-to-AMD sizing policies but no Graviton/ARM-specific migration guidance.
Kubernetes auto-scaling
Rightsize pods & workloads automatically
Not documented. Kubernetes coverage is limited to cost visibility by pod/namespace, not HPA or autoscaling control.
Zero lock-in period
