An nOps alternative without account access
nOps connects to your AWS account to automate savings. If you cannot grant account access, a file-based bill review is an alternative starting point.
Trade-offs
- Connected tools can act automatically; a file-based review cannot.
- A file-based review needs no IAM role and no write permissions.
- Either way, a person should approve changes to production.

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.
