Pay for the cloud you use. Not the cloud you waste.
In 30 minutes, you know how much you’re wasting, where, and how to get it back. Read-only — every finding verified twice before you ever see it.
Coverage across every major provider
Govern every technology cost: cloud, AI, carbon.
Technology spend no longer stops at the cloud bill. Cloudios governs the three lines growing fastest — with the same standard of proof on each.
Cloud FinOps
Find and fix the waste across your clouds: 585 checks on 9 providers, every finding AI-verified and priced in euros, remediation one click away — always behind your approval.
- 585 checks · 9 clouds
- AI-verified findings, ranked in €
- Gated one-click remediation
AI Cost Control
Your teams use ChatGPT, Claude and other AIs — the bill grows with no breakdown and no control. Cloudios measures every call, spots where the same answers cost less — a leaner model, the cache, flat-rate capacity — and blocks any budget overrun before the money leaves.
- Every euro filed to its team, checked against the real invoice
- Same answers, cheaper — typically 30–60% off the AI bill
- Blocking budgets — overspend refused before it leaves
GreenOps
€ and CO₂e coupled on every recommendation. Scope 2 and 3 accounting on open methodologies, with CSRD/ESRS E1 reporting generated from the same data as your costs.
- € + CO₂e on every action
- Open, auditable methodologies (ISO standard)

The waste is real. The visibility isn’t.
Flexera’s State of the Cloud survey puts cloud waste at 28–32% of spend: idle instances, orphaned volumes, oversized databases, forgotten commitments. On a €50,000 monthly bill, that is roughly €180,000 a year buying nothing.
It hides where nobody looks
Spend scatters across accounts, regions and clouds. Without one source of truth, the waste compounds quietly, month after month.
Your team stopped believing alerts
Legacy tools fire thousands of “recommendations”, half of them wrong. After the third false alarm, engineers mute the channel — rationally.
Findings don’t lower bills. Actions do.
A dashboard full of stale recommendations saves exactly €0. Without verification and a one-click path to fix, nothing ships.
Enter an amount to break the potential down by lever.
Documented ranges (FinOps Foundation, DoiT, ProsperOps); assumes compute ≈ 60% of the bill, commitments on the post-rightsizing baseline. The high end assumes documented ceilings — only a scan gives the real number. Computed locally in your browser — nothing is sent or stored.
Every finding is AI-verified before you see it.
You should not have to triage your tool’s output. Before a finding reaches you, a hybrid AI layer re-checks it against live metrics and your business context — what is left is a short list of validated actions, ranked in euros.
of findings re-checked against live metrics before they reach your team
Noise filtered → real actions
Find it. Verify it. Fix it. Prove it.
The full FinOps lifecycle in one place — simple enough for finance, deep enough to convince your most sceptical engineer.
AI Verifier engine
Act on every alert without second-guessing it. A hybrid AI re-checks each recommendation against live metrics — only validated savings reach you.
Cross-cloud cost comparison
Know before you migrate. Price the same workload on AWS, GCP and Azure side by side, with real catalog pricing.
Contextual AI per module
Fewer “that one is intentional” tickets. Each scanner adapts to your context — spot usage, dev/test windows, compliance constraints.
Real-time anomaly detection
Catch the spike the day it starts, not on the invoice. ML watches your spend continuously and alerts in minutes.
Pod-level Kubernetes attribution
Put a price on every pod. Cost by namespace, workload and team — with Karpenter and rightsizing recommendations included.
RI & SP tracker + ESR
Stop paying for commitments you don’t use. Expiring reservations, coverage gaps, and your Effective Savings Rate (ESR — the share of your bill you actually save), the KPI that beats vanity coverage %.
Spot autopilot
Savings while you sleep. Auto-purchase Spot capacity when prices drop below your threshold — hands-free, with a kill-switch.
Migration ROI simulator
Decide migrations with numbers, not gut feel. Payback period, TCO and projected savings — before you commit anything.
Policy governance
Make the rules enforce themselves. Codify tagging, budget and resource policies; violations are caught automatically, fixes go through approval.
Unit economics
Know what a customer actually costs you. Cost per customer, transaction or feature — computed on real amortized spend, reconciled to your invoice.
Compliance & FinOps reports
Reports your auditors accept. FOCUS-aligned cost measures (list, contracted, billed, effective), plus internal cost allocation (showback/chargeback) on amortized spend.
Carbon & ESG
CSRD reporting without hiring a consultant. Your cloud carbon footprint, scope 2 and 3, generated from the same data as your costs.
Measure. Reduce. Control.
98% of organisations now manage AI spend (State of FinOps 2026) — most discover it at month-end. Cloudios files every euro to the team that spent it, spots where the same answers cost less, and blocks any budget overrun before the money leaves. Teams that apply these levers typically cut their AI bill by 30–60%.
Measure — who spends what, at last
Every call metered at its real cost — per team, project, agent and model, LLM and GPU alike — and reconciled to the provider’s real invoice, not gateway estimates. Chargeback follows automatically.
Reduce — the same answers, cheaper
Cloudios spots when a leaner model is enough (quality verified on your calls, never assumed), when the cache saves you from paying twice for the same answer, when flat-rate capacity beats pay-as-you-go — priced in € on your real traffic.
Control — budgets that actually block
A budget per team, project or agent: alerts first, hard refusal after. Overspend is blocked before the money leaves — including for an autonomous AI agent, which can’t talk its way around it.
Visibility tools watch the AI bill. Cloudios reduces it — then locks it.
Every euro saved shows the CO₂e it avoids.
One number convinces finance, the other satisfies your ESG auditors — Cloudios puts both on every recommendation. Scope 2 and scope 3 accounting on open, auditable methodologies — including a standardised carbon score (ISO norm) — built to survive an audit.
Scope 2 — location & market based
Electricity emissions per resource with both methodologies, grid-intensity aware for every region.
Scope 3 embodied carbon
Hardware manufacturing emissions amortized per resource, based on the open Boavizta methodology — not a vendor black box.
Water footprint
Datacenter water usage estimated alongside carbon — the next disclosure regulators will ask for, already in your reports.
CSRD / ESRS E1 reporting
Report generation mapped to ESRS E1 disclosures, plus SCI software carbon intensity (ISO/IEC 21031).
€ + CO₂e on every action
Each optimization shows money saved and carbon avoided — win on both axes and prove it to finance and ESG with the same report.
Region & model carbon deltas
Low-carbon region alternatives and carbon-per-inference per AI model — actionable, not just reported.
GreenOps that changes decisions — not a PDF.
9 clouds. One platform. Zero blind spots.
Hyperscalers, Kubernetes and the long tail — plus Databricks and Snowflake — every provider scanned with the same depth, into one dashboard.
585 checks unified across every cloud you run — the cards above plus Snowflake (4), Databricks (1) and one cross-cloud check.
From connection to savings report in about 30 minutes.
No agents. No code changes. Nothing your security team needs to install.
Connect read-only — 5 minutes
You create a read-only access from your own cloud account, in one click (template provided — no keys to share on AWS, a viewer key for GCP or Azure). Access expires after one hour, and deleting it revokes everything — on your side, in one click.
The scan runs — 585 checks
Every resource across your clouds is analysed. The AI Verifier re-checks each finding against live metrics before ranking it by annual € impact.
Approve what convinces you
A short, prioritised list — not a thousand alerts. Apply one-click remediations or export Terraform, always behind your approval and an immutable audit log.
Watch the bill drop
Realised savings accumulate in real time, with cost breakdowns per team and anomaly alerts so the waste never creeps back.
The answers your security team will ask for.
Read-only by construction. Sessions expire after one hour. Revocable in one click, on your side.
Read-only by construction
Scoped IAM roles with minimum permissions. Cloudios reads metadata and billing — never the contents of your data, and it never modifies resources on its own.
No credentials in clear
Secrets are encrypted AES-256-GCM and never re-displayed. AWS access uses an ExternalId against confused-deputy attacks, with sessions that expire after one hour.
Immutable audit log
Every sensitive action is appended to a SHA-256 hash chain — tamper-evident and exportable for your auditors.
Approval workflow
Remediations require owner/admin approval before they run. You roll out automation at the pace you choose — including not at all.
GDPR & SOC2-ready
Enterprise security headers, multi-tenant isolation at the database layer (RLS), EU data handling, and data export/erasure on demand.
Kill-switch & dry-run
Test any policy in dry-run, and stop all automation instantly with a single global kill-switch.

Proof before payment.
What the first scan gives you — before you spend a cent.
See your number first. Then pay a flat price.
Legacy platforms take 0.5–1% of your cloud spend, forever. Cloudios is a flat, predictable plan — typically under 1% of the spend it manages — and the free scan shows your savings before you pay anything.

The questions you should be asking.
Is it safe to give you access to my cloud?
That is the right first question. Access is read-only by construction: a scoped IAM role with ExternalId on AWS (no keys to share), viewer-level credentials on GCP and Azure. Sessions expire after one hour, secrets are encrypted AES-256-GCM and never re-displayed, and deleting the role revokes everything — in one click, on your side.
We already have Cost Explorer and Trusted Advisor. Why another tool?
Native tools are a good start — and they stop at their own cloud. They don’t verify findings against your context, don’t compare across providers, don’t measure carbon, and your provider has little incentive to shrink your bill. Cloudios runs 585 checks across 9 clouds and returns one euro-ranked list.
Is this yet another dashboard nobody will open?
Fair worry — most FinOps tools die as wallpaper. Cloudios is built to act, not display: every finding is AI-verified, priced in euros, and one click away from remediation (behind your approval). If the report doesn’t show savings worth more than the subscription, cancel. There is no contract.
How much does it cost?
The scan that shows your savings number is free, with no card. Paid plans are flat and predictable — typically under 1% of the spend Cloudios manages, where legacy platforms charge 0.5–1% of spend and grow with your bill. You see the value first, then decide.
What if we want to leave?
Leaving takes one click: delete the IAM role and our access dies instantly. Your reports, findings and audit trail export to CSV and Terraform, and GDPR-grade data erasure is built in. No lock-in is a feature, not an oversight.
Where is our data, and what do you actually read?
Metadata and billing only — never the contents of your databases, buckets or workloads. Handling is GDPR-compliant: EU data handling, tenant isolation at the database layer (RLS), and export or erasure of your data on demand.
What exactly does the verifying AI see?
Resource metadata and aggregated metrics only: instance types, utilisation curves, configuration and billing lines. Never the contents of your databases, buckets or workloads — the read-only role doesn’t even have permission to read them. The AI judges signals, not your data.
Are you SOC 2 certified?
Not yet — honest answer. The controls are aligned with SOC 2 (tamper-evident audit log, database-layer tenant isolation via RLS, AES-256-GCM encryption), and the certification is in preparation. A DPA is available today; ask and we’ll walk you through the current security posture.
How fast do I see results?
First findings appear within minutes of connecting. Your first euro-ranked savings report lands in about 30 minutes, and a full multicloud scan with AI verification typically completes within the hour.
