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.
I found 20 resources with potential waste. Here's the breakdown:
Total potential savings: $3,091/mo ($37,092/yr)
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.
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.
Instant waste detection
Ask one question — "Where are we wasting money?" — and get a prioritised list with dollar amounts. Idle instances, unattached volumes, oversized databases, unused load balancers. All in seconds.
Weekly cost monitoring
Catch spend creep before it compounds. plainfra delivers a weekly report highlighting new waste, cost anomalies, and resources that have been idle since last week. No more surprise bills.
ROI in the first scan
Customers typically find $500–3,000/mo in waste on their first scan. That's $6,000–36,000/yr in savings from a single question. The tool pays for itself before the trial ends.

How it works
Connect your account
Sign up and deploy a read-only IAM role (one CloudFormation command). plainfra can inspect your resources but never modify, delete, or create anything.
Ask the question
"Where are we wasting money on AWS?" plainfra scans EC2, EBS, RDS, Elastic IPs, load balancers, and more. You get a prioritised list with dollar amounts in seconds.
Clean up and save
Terminate idle instances, delete unattached volumes, rightsize oversized databases. plainfra tells you exactly what to remove and how much you'll save.
Plain English questions, real savings
"Which EC2 instances are idle and costing us money?"
"Are there any unattached EBS volumes we're paying for?"
"Are any of our RDS instances oversized for their workload?"
"Where are we wasting money on AWS?"
"Why did our AWS bill go up this month?"
"Compare our spend this month vs last month by service"
Read-only. Always.
plainfra can inspect your infrastructure but cannot modify, delete, or create anything. We find the waste — your team decides what to remove.
