What an AWS cost optimization consultant costs
AWS cost consultants usually charge a day rate, a fixed project fee, or a share of the savings. Ask how savings are measured before agreeing to a share.
Before hiring
- Run a free scan to see the size of the opportunity.
- Ask for a written scope and how savings will be verified.
- Check who makes changes in your account and how they are approved.
We do not quote consultant rates because they vary and we have no dated public source.
Try it on your own bill
CloudCostAI reads a billing export file (AWS Cost and Usage Report, GCP billing export or Azure usage CSV) and returns findings with fix steps. It needs no access to your cloud account. Free: one report a month. Pro $29/month, Team $99/month, or a one-time audit for $179 (current plans, checked 2026-10-27).
Findings are estimates from billing lines, not utilisation metrics. Check each one against usage and service needs before changing anything.
