Coverage that adapts

As your usage changes

GCP discounts should not require a leap of faith.

Committed Use Discounts can deliver significant savings, but they become risky when GCP usage changes. Teams are forced to choose between lower costs and the flexibility to move fast.

Commitments stay in your account

Usage.ai purchases commitments directly in your Google Cloud billing account. You stay in control.

Adapt as usage changes

We continuously adjust your commitment strategy as your Google Cloud usage changes.

Cashback protects the downside

If usage drops, Cashback covers the eligible unused commitment value.

Every service.
One optimizer.

Usage.ai continuously optimizes commitments across the Google Cloud services that power your business Compute Engine, BigQuery, Cloud SQL, and dozens more.

Traditional commitments force a bet on future usage. Usage.ai removes that bet so you get the savings without the downside.

GCP commitment optimization, explained.

Get clear answers about Committed Use Discounts, account access, and how Usage.ai helps protect eligible unused commitment value.

01 What is GCP commitment optimization?

It's the practice of continuously matching your Google Cloud Committed Use Discount purchases to your actual usage, instead of committing once and hoping usage stays flat. Usage.ai automates this by analyzing your usage, buying and rebalancing commitments in your account, and protecting eligible unused value if your usage changes.

02 How does Usage.ai optimize Google Cloud Committed Use Discounts?

Usage.ai continuously analyzes your GCP usage patterns, models the right mix of resource-based and spend-based CUDs for your workloads, and purchases and manages those commitments directly in your billing account, rebalancing them automatically as your usage shifts.

03 Does Usage.ai make changes to our GCP resources?

No. Usage.ai operates at the billing and purchasing layer, buying and managing commitments, without making changes to your GCP resources, architecture, or deployments.

04 What access does Usage.ai need to our GCP account?

Usage.ai requests read-only access to your usage and billing data to analyze spend, plus purchasing permissions scoped to commitment purchases, not broader resource-management access.

05 What happens if our GCP usage drops?

If your usage drops below what you've committed to, Usage.ai calculates the unused portion of that commitment and returns it to you as Cashback, paid out as money or credits, depending on your plan.

06 Which GCP services can Usage.ai optimize?

Usage.ai optimizes commitments across Compute Engine, GKE, Cloud SQL, BigQuery, Bigtable, Cloud Spanner, and more, with additional services added over time.
