AWS bill jumped?
Get the root cause,
not another dashboard.
Send a Cost Explorer export. Receive a 48-hour bill autopsy with the likely culprit, affected resources, and concrete fixes.
$99 per report · 48-hour delivery · 30-day free follow-up
- Cost Explorer tells you the service. It rarely tells you the system behavior that caused it.
- Most small teams don't need FinOps. They need incident response for cost.
- No AWS access required for the first audit.
How it works
- Export your Cost Explorer data as CSV (last 3 months).
- Pay $99 securely via Paddle (credit/debit card).
- Submit your CSV and a one-line description of what changed.
- Receive a professional PDF report within 48 hours: root cause, affected resources, and three ranked fixes.
What you'll receive
A professional PDF report — not a slide deck, not a call. Here's what's inside:
Pie chart of spend by service, monthly trend line, before/after savings comparison.
Not just "EC2 is expensive" — the specific resource, usage pattern, and system behavior causing the spike.
Three concrete actions ordered by savings. Each one shows estimated monthly savings and implementation effort.
Architectural recommendations and budget alerts to stop the next spike before it hits.
Cost traps we catch
These are the patterns that hit small teams hardest — and that Cost Explorer won't flag for you.
Running 24/7 even with zero traffic. One per AZ adds up fast.
Deleted the instance, forgot the disk. Invisible on the EC2 console.
Production-grade redundancy on a staging database nobody reads.
No retention policy = infinite storage. DEBUG-level logs from a busy service can cost more than the service itself.
AWS charges for IPs you allocate but don't use. Easy to forget after teardown.
gp3 is cheaper and faster. Migration is one CLI command, zero downtime.

Pay securely via Paddle — credit & debit cards accepted. Submit your data after payment.
Built by an engineer with several years on AWS AI services (Lex and Bedrock). The patterns in these reports come from seeing the same NAT Gateway, CloudWatch Logs, and idle resource cost spikes hit small teams over and over — and from knowing AWS billing well enough to read between the lines of a Cost Explorer export.

FAQ
What formats do you accept?
Cost Explorer CSV export (the standard export from the AWS console). If you have CloudWatch dashboards or Trusted Advisor reports, include those too — more context means a better diagnosis.
Do you need access to my AWS account?
No. The first audit is based entirely on the Cost Explorer export you send. If the root cause requires deeper investigation, I'll ask for read-only CloudWatch access — but that's optional and only for complex cases.
What's the turnaround time?
48 hours from when you submit. Usually faster. You'll get a written report — not a call, not a slide deck.
What happens after I receive the report?
If you have follow-up questions about the analysis or remediation steps, reply to the email and I'll answer at no extra charge. The goal is for you to be confident in the fix, not just hand off a document.
What does the report include?
Root cause with evidence, dollar impact estimate, three ranked remediation actions (quick wins first), and long-term recommendations to prevent recurrence.
How much does it cost?
$99 flat fee per report. No subscription, no hidden fees. One payment, one report. If the report doesn't help, you're covered by our 7-day refund policy.
How and when do I pay?
You pay $99 upfront via Paddle's secure checkout (credit or debit card). After payment, you'll be immediately redirected to upload your Cost Explorer CSV and describe the issue. Your report is delivered within 48 hours of submission.
What payment methods do you accept?
Visa, Mastercard, and American Express via Paddle. Since Paddle handles all payment processing, your card information never touches our servers.
