Why did my bill spike last week?

Your bill increased $847 (+34%) last week. Here's what happened:

  • EC2 costs up 52% — A new c5.4xlarge instance was launched Tuesday and is still running
  • RDS storage doubled — Your analytics database auto-scaled from 100GB to 200GB

💡 Quick fix: The EC2 instance shows <5% CPU usage. Consider stopping it to save ~$400/week.

Frequently Asked Questions

How secure is CloudWise?
CloudWise connects to your AWS account using a read-only IAM role with minimal permissions. We never store your AWS credentials and all data is encrypted. For Agentic tier users, remediation actions use a completely separate, isolated IAM role with time-limited sessions and a curated allow-list of permitted actions.
Is CloudWise really free?
Yes! Our Free tier lets you monitor 1 AWS account forever with basic cost analytics. No credit card required.
What can I ask the AI Copilot?
Ask anything in plain English: "Why did my bill increase?", "What's my most expensive service?", "How can I reduce EC2 costs?" The AI analyzes your cost data to provide personalized insights. Learn more →
How does the AI-Powered Waste Detection work?
Our AI automatically scans your AWS resources to identify unused instances, idle databases, orphaned volumes, and other cost optimization opportunities across 40+ services. It detects patterns like low-utilization resources, unattached storage, and more. Learn more →
What is CloudWise Shield?
CloudWise Shield ($99/year) is our annual protection plan. It automatically monitors your AWS costs and alerts you via email/Slack when it detects unusual spending patterns. Never get surprised by an AWS bill again. Includes anomaly detection, email/Slack alerts, up to 5 AWS accounts, and 180-day cost history. Learn more →
What is CloudWise Agentic?
CloudWise Agentic ($199/year) goes beyond detection — it automatically generates remediation plans for waste and executes them with your approval. Think of it as an autonomous FinOps engineer: it finds idle EC2 instances, orphaned EBS volumes, and oversized databases, then fixes them with one-click approval and full rollback support. Nothing ever executes without your explicit consent.
Is automated remediation safe?
Yes. Every remediation uses isolated, time-limited IAM credentials (15-minute sessions, never cached). Actions are restricted to a curated allow-list — CloudWise can only perform pre-approved operations. Every action requires human approval, is fully auditable, and can be rolled back with one click. Read our Security Architecture →
How much can I save?
Customers typically save 15-30% on their AWS bills after implementing CloudWise insights. With Agentic remediation, savings are realized immediately — no more putting off fixes because "we'll get to it next sprint."
