Saved on AWS
We’re not a cost optimization service, but a cloud arbitrage provider. We underwrite the purchase of 3-year, no upfront Reserved Instances (RIs) with a Guaranteed Buyback Clause, allowing you to receive the 57% savings of a 3-year RI without the need to commit to AWS or Usage!
Saving Money on the Cloud
Shouldn't be Difficult
Simple
Usage is simply an IAM Policy + Role that takes fewer than 5 minutes to include into your AWS organization. No engineering work required!
Trusted
Usage manages Reserved Instances for 200+ customers. From SMBs to Enterprise level customers, companies trust Usage to save on AWS!
Secure
Operating at the billing layer only, Usage can't touch or modify your instances in any way. ZERO percent chance for server downtime or workflow interruptions of any sort!
Commitment Free
Usage is a monthly commitment, which paired with our Buyback Guarantee on all RI purchases, means you don't have to commit to AWS or Usage to see savings!
Our Customers
Elastic Compute Commitments for AWS
By using the AWS RI Marketplace to broker an exchange of Reserved Instance contracts across our customer base, Usage enables customers to immediately benefit from the savings of RIs + receive the added comfort of knowing they will never be stuck paying for them! Acting like RI insurance, the BuyBack Guarantee ensures Usage customers never pay for an underutilized resource!
Near ZERO Work
Usage’s Autopilot will automatically apply all the current savings recommendations on your Usage dashboard + all future recommendations as they become available! One click and your savings will be on Autopilot from then on out!
Manage All Your Instances
Usage allows you to quickly access all of the EC2 instance data you want - spending, savings, utilization rate, and more - in one powerful app!
Manage All Your Accounts
Usage AI allows you to manage multiple AWS accounts from a single, easy-to-use dashboard! Built with engineering teams in mind, you can invite your whole team to have eyes-on the same dashboard!
extreme security
We tread lightly.
Usage AI uses an extremely limited IAM Role to analyze your cloud and buy and sell reservations.
WE CANNOT modify, or in any way touch your instances.
WE CANNOT read code or network traffic.

This is the easiest "yes" you could possibly commit to - essentially get free money you wouldn't have otherwise. I can't think of a reason you shouldn't use this service. It takes all the headaches out of managing Reserved Instances and making sure you're getting the best rate for your infrastructure.
Daniel Broukhim
Co-Founder of FabFitFun
We frequently autoscale, so prior to Usage, it was nerve-wracking committing to Savings Plans and Reserved Instances. More commitments meant more savings, but they also increased our risk exposure. With Usage's Buyback Guarantee, we've maximized our annual savings at no risk to ourselves - that's hard to beat!
Justin Ullman
Founder and CEO of RhinoDox
One of the simpler decisions I've ever had to make. Between it only requiring minimal access, delivering great savings, and being a one-time onboarding, our AWS bill is a monthly reminder that we made a great choice!
Pricing
Our only fee is 20% of the savings we find you. Period.
No hidden fees. No conditions. No pricing tiers.
Billed in line with your monthly AWS bill.
20%
of total Savings
From one AWS bill to the next, Usage only bills for 20% of the actual savings we helped you realize.
