AI audit vs consultant: cost and scope
A $179 one-time CloudCostAI Audit is a defined software offer, not a guarantee of hands-on remediation. For a consultant, request a written scope covering access, analysis, implementation and follow-up. Compare like deliverables and use an actual quote; no consultant day rate or guaranteed saving is assumed.
Before you choose
- Use a representative billing export.
- Verify suggested savings against utilization and service requirements.
- Keep changes behind your normal infrastructure approval process.
