CloudZero enables engineers to build cost-effective software. The world's leading cloud-driven companies rely on CloudZero for accurate, granular visibility into total cloud spend.
4.5
Overview
CloudZero is a powerful cloud cost intelligence platform - built to provide visibility, insights, and savings to help drive profitable innovation.
By aligning engineering and finance teams around metrics like cost per product feature, customer, and development team, CloudZero enables teams to manage spend, drive a culture of cost-efficient engineering, and improve cloud unit economics.
Even without perfect tagging, customers can use CloudZero to ingest and allocate billing data, split up shared resources, track Kubernetes costs, track PaaS and SaaS costs (e.g., Snowflake, MongoDB, Databricks, Datadog, New Relic), and get a holistic view of total cloud spend.
CloudZero applies unit cost telemetry for accurate cost-per-tenant measurements. Engineers can self-serve to explore cost data and receive alerts about trends and anomalies. Based on accurate unit cost metrics, organizations can drive go-to-market decisions, such as pricing and discounting.
CloudZero can help answer questions like:
-
How are engineering changes affecting my systems' efficiency and my company's profitability?
-
Where are there immediate and continuous cost savings?
-
How do new product and feature releases impact cloud costs?
-
What's the cost per tenant of shared cloud resources?
-
How much do specific Kubernetes workloads cost?
For complex orders or to discuss other product and service delivery options, please get in touch with sales@cloudzero.com .

Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor, and additional usage. You pay upfront or in installments according to your contract terms with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. Usage-based pricing is in effect for overages or additional usage not covered in the contract. These charges are applied on top of the contract price. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before the contract end date, access to your entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.

Dimensions summary
CloudZero offers two primary pricing dimensions on AWS Marketplace: an On-Demand option that charges based on every $1,000 of monthly AWS spend, and a Custom option for enterprise-level implementations. Additional usage charges apply when monthly AWS spend exceeds the contracted amount, maintaining a consumption-based pricing model. This structure allows organizations to choose between a standardized pay-as-you-go model or a custom solution tailored to their specific needs, with pricing that scales alongside their AWS usage.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers like you
How is CloudZero's pricing calculated based on AWS spend?
CloudZero's pricing is tied to your monthly AWS spending, with units sold per $1,000 of AWS spend. The platform offers both an On-Demand option for standard implementations and a Custom option for more complex needs, with pricing scaling according to your cloud spend volume.
What happens if my AWS spending exceeds my contracted amount?
When your AWS spending exceeds your contracted amount, additional usage charges apply for each $1,000 increment over the contract limit. These overages are calculated and billed monthly through your AWS Marketplace subscription.
What's the difference between CloudZero On Demand and Custom options?
CloudZero On Demand provides standard cost intelligence features with straightforward per-AWS-spend pricing. The Custom option offers a more tailored solution with additional features and flexibility, typically suited for enterprises with complex cloud cost management needs or specific requirements.

Game-Changer for Cost Visibility and FinOps
Reviewed on Feb 06, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like the awesome UI for navigating costs, which makes it easier for me to manage. The support from the FAM team is amazing; they're not just support but like part of our team, always helping us solve complex problems and making our lives easier. It's not just a tool, but a complete solution with a dedicated person helping us solve our FinOps problems. I also appreciate how pretty easy the initial setup was, thanks to the sales team doing a great proof of value in a short period of time.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Kubernetes optimization insights could be better. It should have a dedicated area for Kubernetes to view usage and recommendations over time, and make it easier to navigate savings opportunities. The information in the Optimizer is a lot, and it's hard to see and prioritize with teams. It would also be useful to send savings opportunities to teams, with reports by team, namespace, category, recommendation, etc. Sometimes it takes CloudZero a while to update data using CUR and anomalies, so we also use native tools from GCP and AWS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use CloudZero for improved visibility across multiple cloud providers, enhancing our FinOps culture. It solves our cloud spend allocation issues and provides full cost visibility for finance, product, and engineering. It also identifies anomalies, helping us avoid costs and optimize our environment.

Great Insights, but Complex Setup
Reviewed on Feb 06, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like that the CloudZero team has been extremely hands-on in helping us get it implemented. It's been really helpful, especially when our attention might be on other business items. I also appreciate how CloudZero provides insights into spend patterns and usage patterns. The insights into high spend categories and suggesting savings plans are super useful for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up CloudZero has been a bit challenging for us. It's a comprehensive process with a lot of moving parts, which makes it tough to get everything implemented and set up correctly. Communicating directly what we need from the platform has been difficult as well. Additionally, our AE was transferred midway through, adding complexity as the new AE got up to speed. I wish there was more of an out-of-the-box solution, even though I understand it's very customizable. The setup process is still ongoing, and it's not the easiest as it requires a lot of user input.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CloudZero solves the problem of visibility by centralizing data, providing direct insights into product delivery costs, forecasting, spend patterns, and usage without manual data pulling.

Straightforward UI That Quickly Became the Cornerstone of Our FinOps Practice
Reviewed on Feb 06, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Straightforward UI — a huge hit with everyone from Engineering to Finance. Flexible enough to ingest all our cloud and technical costs with minimal effort; it was adopted across teams in just a few days and is now a cornerstone of our FinOps practice. Customer support and success team are both amazing!
What do you dislike about the product?
Fine-tuning allocation rules or iterating on custom dimensions can feel slightly less intuitive than the rest of the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CloudZero makes cost visibility actionable, accelerates alignment between engineering and finance, and helps turn cloud spend into something teams can actually own and optimize.

CloudZero: Easy Cost Intelligence with Minor Alerts Improvement Needed
Reviewed on Feb 05, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like CloudZero for its ease of use and how it makes cost intelligence straightforward by helping identify unnecessary spending on cloud platforms. I also appreciate the knowledgeable staff who provide recommendations for saving costs beyond just the scope of the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the monitoring and alerting features lacking. It would be great to have a projected spend alert, like 'Your projected spend at the current rate will hit X amount,' and then send the alert to Slack or email. Also, I think it would be helpful to have active monitoring rather than just passive reporting, like cutting the noise and alarming on specific cost anomalies.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use CloudZero for cost intelligence, helping to identify extraneous spending in cloud platforms.
