What's your optimal commitment posture?
Every cost dashboard shows your current Savings-Plan or Reserved-Instance coverage. Almost none answer the question that actually matters: "What coverage % should I target?"
Fill three numbers below → see the optimal band, the annual $ delta, and exactly how much incremental SP/RI to buy. The math is shown — nothing hidden.

Optimal band is set by your spend volatility (CV %). Stable workloads can safely commit a high share; volatile workloads need flexibility:
- CV < 5% → 60–70% (rock-steady, commit aggressively)
- CV 5–15% → 45–55% (stable + mild seasonality)
- CV 15–30% → 30–40% (mixed / growing fast)
- CV > 30% → 15–25% (volatile / spiky / batch)
Annual savings = monthly spend × 12 × coverage × discount. Discounts are public industry numbers (Jan 2026 snapshot): AWS 1y SP ≈ 28%, AWS 3y ≈ 47%, Azure RI 1y ≈ 30%, Azure 3y ≈ 55%, GCP CUD 1y ≈ 25%, GCP 3y ≈ 55%.
Why we built this: the question "what % SP/RI coverage should I target?" is the most under-served question in FinOps. Apptio and Cloudability answer it for $50K/year. We make the math free.
