AWS on-demand pricing is expensive — and most ISVs never fix it

Cloud commitments (Reserved Instances and Savings Plans) offer discounts of up to 45% versus on-demand rates. But most teams avoid them because of the risk: commit to too much capacity and you pay for idle compute.

The result? Engineers focus on building product. Finance sees the AWS bill grow every quarter. Nobody touches the commitment problem until it is painful.

40%
of AWS compute spend is wasted on avoidable on-demand pricing by companies that have not optimised their commitments. That is money that could fund headcount, product, or runway.
  • 1–3 year lock-in feels too risky Standard cloud commitment terms are long. Workloads change. You avoid committing and pay full price indefinitely.
  • No one owns it internally Engineering says it is a finance problem. Finance says it is an engineering problem. The analysis never gets done.
  • Cost Explorer is confusing AWS provides the data but the tooling is complex. Turning raw spend data into a safe commitment plan takes expertise most teams do not have in-house.
  • The savings never materialise FinOps projects get deprioritised. Sprints fill up. Another quarter passes and the on-demand bill keeps climbing.

The same workload. A very different bill.

From first call to a reduced bill

We handle the full process. No internal engineering time required.

1

We audit your current spend

We pull your on-demand usage across all AWS accounts and identify every commitment opportunity — EC2, Fargate, RDS, Lambda, and more. Free, and no AWS access required.

2

You receive a savings plan

We model the optimal mix of Reserved Instances and Savings Plans for your workload patterns, with risk-adjusted recommendations and a precise savings estimate.

3

We activate the commitments

Purchases are made directly in your AWS organisation. Terms start from 30 days. Unused capacity is covered — you keep the savings, not the downside.

4

Ongoing optimisation

As your infrastructure evolves, we adjust commitments, capture new savings opportunities, and keep your coverage optimal each month.

Managed commitments: EC2 97% covered, RDS 95% covered, OpenSearch 94% covered. Three-year, one-year and 30-day commitment options.
Illustrative commitment coverage: EC2 97%, RDS 95%, OpenSearch 94%.

Why ISVs choose Automatum for cost optimisation

We already manage your marketplace operations. Cost optimisation is the next layer of AWS infrastructure we run for you.

Advanced AWS partner programme

As an Advanced AWS Partner, we have access to commitment structures and protections that are not available through self-service. Your savings come with built-in risk coverage.

Zero engineering overhead

No new tooling to deploy, no AWS IAM roles to configure for analysis, no internal sprints needed. We use read-only cost data — the same you already have in Cost Explorer.

Savings from day one

With 30-day commitment terms, your first reduced AWS invoice arrives within the same billing cycle. You do not wait a year to see results.

Full transparency, no lock-in

You see every commitment we make in your AWS console. No hidden contracts. No long-term dependency on our tooling. The savings infrastructure belongs to you.

Works alongside marketplace operations

Cost optimisation runs independently of your listing, private offers, and co-sell motions. One partner, two layers of AWS value — no conflicts, no duplication of work.

Covered if usage drops

Unused Reserved Instance capacity does not sit on your bill. Our partner programme covers the cost of commitments you no longer need, removing the main objection to committing at scale.

Common questions

Most ISVs see 30–45% reductions in their compute costs through a combination of Reserved Instances and Savings Plans. The exact amount depends on your workload patterns, current on-demand usage, and commitment term flexibility. Our free review gives you a precise estimate before you commit to anything.
Traditional cloud commitments carry real risk — if your usage drops you pay for idle capacity. Our Advanced Partner programme includes risk-protected commitments where unused capacity is covered, so you capture the savings without the downside.
No. Our partner programme allows commitment terms as short as 30 days, compared to the standard 1–3 year cloud commitments. You gain pricing benefits without locking in for years at a time.
Savings apply from the first billing cycle after your commitments are in place. Most customers see their first reduced bill within the same month they onboard.
No. Cost optimisation operates independently of your marketplace listing, private offers, and co-sell activity. Both workstreams run in parallel without interference.
The analysis covers all committable AWS services: EC2, RDS, ElastiCache, OpenSearch, Redshift, Lambda, Fargate, and SageMaker. We model each separately and recommend the optimal commitment type for each.
