Common questions

Questions, answered.

Everything teams ask before turning on Usage.ai. If your question isn't here, our team is one click away.

01How does Usage.ai save us money on top of native AWS, Azure, or GCP?+
We continuously buy and rebalance Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, and Committed Use Discounts on your behalf based on your actual usage patterns, not forecasts. Most teams see 30–50% savings on covered workloads. The commitments live in your account; Usage.ai handles the timing, laddering, and rebalancing automatically — across every cloud you use.
02What happens if our usage drops? Are we stuck with commitments we don't need?+
This is the core of our Usage Flex Insured Commitments model. If your usage drops below the commitment, we first net the unused portion against any fees you owe us that month — and refund the balance as cash. So if you used less than expected, your invoice from us shrinks or disappears and any remainder lands back in your budget.
03How are you different from Archera or ProsperOps?+
We share a category, but the model is different in two ways. 1. Cashback guarantee on every dollar of underuse. Most platforms charge premiums or fixed fees and pass commitment risk back to you. We absorb it. 2. We only charge a percentage of realized savings. If we don't save you money, you don't pay us.
04Do we have to give up our existing AWS, Azure, or GCP commitments?+
No. Usage.ai works alongside any commitments you already hold. We layer additional optimization on top of your existing RIs, Savings Plans, or CUDs to capture savings on the rest of your spend.
05We have an EDP, MACC, or PPA negotiated with our cloud provider. How does Usage.ai interact with that?+
Our optimization stacks on top of your private pricing — it doesn't replace it. Native commitment discounts apply against your already-negotiated rates. Reported savings are calculated net of your private pricing, so you see the genuine incremental impact.
06What's the security model? Do you have access to our cloud workloads?+
Read-only access to your billing and usage data, plus a scoped role to purchase commitments on your behalf. We never have access to your workloads, secrets, or production infrastructure. Usage.ai is SOC 2 Type II certified.
07How is the ~20% fee calculated, when do you bill, and where does it appear?+
It's calculated against realized savings — the difference between what you would have paid at on-demand rates and what you actually paid under the commitments we managed. The fee is billed through your existing AWS, Azure, or GCP marketplace contract.
08No platform fee, no contract, full cashback — how do you make this work?+
Two things make the model sustainable. First, we only earn when you save. Second, we operate at scale across AWS, Azure, and GCP. The trade is: you don't pay a platform fee or carry commitment risk; we don't earn on customers we fail to save money for.
