savings Stop paying for resources you don't use

Find the AWS spend you don't need. In one question.

plainfra scans your entire AWS environment and identifies idle instances, unattached volumes, oversized databases, and forgotten resources. Ask one question, get dollar amounts. Customers typically find $500–3,000/mo in waste on the first scan.

api Scanned EC2, EBS, RDS, and Elastic IPs

I found 20 resources with potential waste. Here's the breakdown:

4 idle EC2 instances $1,840/mo
12 unattached EBS volumes $480/mo
3 unused Elastic IPs $11/mo
1 oversized RDS instance $760/mo

Total potential savings: $3,091/mo ($37,092/yr)

Sound familiar?

The AWS bill keeps growing and nobody questions it

The bill grows every month and nobody questions it

Your AWS spend creeps up 5–10% month over month. Everyone assumes it's growth-related. But a chunk of it is resources nobody remembers launching — test instances still running, volumes from decommissioned servers, databases nobody queries.

Cost Explorer is confusing and time-consuming

You open Cost Explorer with good intentions. Twenty minutes later you're lost in a maze of filters, groupings, and amortised vs. unblended costs. You close the tab and move on to something more productive.

search_off

You know there's waste but don't know where to look

Every AWS account accumulates abandoned resources over time. Idle instances, unattached volumes, forgotten snapshots. You know they're there, but finding them means auditing dozens of services across multiple regions.

Monitoring tools cost more than they save

You looked at Datadog, CloudHealth, or similar platforms. The pricing starts at hundreds per month, requires agent installation, and takes weeks to configure. You end up paying for a tool to tell you that you're overpaying.

Find waste, track savings, prove ROI

plainfra connects to your AWS account with read-only access and identifies every dollar you're spending on resources you don't need. No agents, no dashboards, no configuration.
