Description

Cloud Waste Scanner is a security-first cloud auditing platform built to uncover and eliminate wasted cloud spend without exposing sensitive infrastructure data. Operating as a 100% local application, it connects directly from your machine to major providers including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, and dozens more. The system scans for unattached storage volumes, zombie load balancers, idle compute resources, retention drift in snapshots, and missing lifecycle policies that silently inflate cloud bills. By analyzing metrics such as CPU utilization, disk IOPS, and traffic activity, it minimizes false positives and highlights meaningful savings. Teams receive an actionable savings map within minutes, focused on cost impact rather than surface-level suggestions. Unlike SaaS competitors, Cloud Waste Scanner does not store IAM roles or credentials on external servers. Its lightweight, Rust-powered engine ensures fast scans without heavy runtime overhead. With trial and Pro plans available, organizations can start with summary insights and unlock detailed resource-level visibility and automation when ready.

Pricing Details

The CloudZero platform features a tiered, consumption based pricing model. We place each customer in a spend tier depending on their expected total annual cloud spend that allows us to manage their cloud spend up to a certain amount at a flat rate. We do not charge monthly overages in an effort to maintain consistent, predictable pricing for our customers as their environment changes.
