Because Cloud Spend is Your Biggest Cost of Goods Sold

In SaaS, cloud usage isn't just an IT expense, it is a direct hit to your COGS and gross margin. If you can't link infrastructure spend to specific customers or features, you are pricing your product in the dark.

  • Hidden Profits: You know your total bill is high, but you don't know which customers are profitable and which ones are costing you money to host.
  • No Transparency: You use shared databases or Kubernetes clusters for multiple tenants, making it impossible to tell who is using what.
  • Wasted Servers: Your engineering team spins up test environments for a sprint, moves on to the next feature, and leaves the old servers running forever.
  • Cost Spikes: You have hundreds of small services running. A tiny misconfiguration in one can quietly drain thousands of dollars before anyone notices.
  • Price Leak: You are afraid to buy Reserved Instances or Savings Plans because your architecture changes so fast you don't want to get locked in.

How Can Saas Products Benefit with Costimizer

Pinpoint Unit Economics
Finally answer the question How much does it cost to service Customer A vs Customer B? so you can adjust pricing or tier limits.
Protect Gross Margins

R&D Without Waste
Let developers spin up what they need to innovate but automate the cleanup so experimentation doesn't break the bank.
Kubernetes Clarity
We break down the black box of Kubernetes costs. See exactly how much each namespace, pod, or service is costing you.
100% Accurate Cloud Spend Forecast
Predict your cloud spend based on user growth or feature usage, not just historical averages.

Built for Modern SaaS Architectures

Cost Accountability

  • Isolate costs for shared resources like databases and load balancers across different customers.
  • Generate profitability reports for your largest enterprise clients.

Automated Lifecycle Management

  • Automatically shut down non-production environments (Dev/QA/Staging) on nights and weekends.
  • Delete unattached storage volumes and old snapshots after a set number of days.

Engineering Budget Alerts

  • Send alerts directly to Slack channels when a specific microservice or team exceeds their budget.
  • Catch infinite loops or memory leaks in production code before the bill explodes.

Rightsizing Recommendations

  • Analyze CPU and memory usage to tell you exactly which instance types will save money without hurting performance.
  • Identify where you can safely switch to Spot Instances for background jobs.

Commitment Manager

  • Analyze your steady-state usage to recommend the safest mix of Reserved Instances and Savings Plans.
  • Maximize coverage without risking lock-in on obsolete tech.

Tagging Governance

  • Enforce tagging rules so every resource is assigned to a Product, Team, or Environment.
  • Automatically flag or quarantine untagged resources.

Security & Compliance

  • Ensure your data storage complies with SOC2 and GDPR requirements.
  • Monitor for public access on storage buckets that should be private.

The Old SaaS Struggle vs. The Costimizer Way

The Old Way

The Costimizer Way

Treating cloud bills as a generic R&D expense

Treating cloud bills as COGS with clear attribution

Manually calculating margins in a spreadsheet

Real-time dashboards showing margin per customer

Leaving dev servers running 24/7

Auto-scheduling shutdowns for nights and weekends

Guessing how to price new features

Pricing based on actual infrastructure consumption data

Finance asking Engineering why is the bill up?

Engineering proactively optimizing spend before Finance asks

Buying 3-year commitments and hoping tech doesn't change

Buying flexible savings plans backed by data

Best Practices for SaaS Cloud Ops

Dos

Don'ts

Do measure cost per daily active user (DAU) or per API call to track efficiency.

Don't optimize too early. Focus on visibility first so you know where the big leaks are.

Do use Spot Instances for stateless workloads like batch processing or CI/CD pipelines.

Don't give every developer admin access to spin up the largest instance types.

Do force developers to tag resources with Owner and Environment at creation time.

Don't ignore the cost of data transfer. Moving data between regions or zones adds up fast.

Do review your Reserved Instance coverage monthly to ensure you aren't paying on demand rates for steady traffic.

Don't hide the bill from engineers. Show them the cost of what they build.

Frequently Asked Questions

We use a multi-tenant architecture with shared databases. Can you really tell us the cost per customer?

Yes. We combine billing data with your internal usage metrics (like number of requests or storage used per tenant) to mathematically apportion the cost of shared resources to specific customers.

How does this help with our valuation?

SaaS valuation is often a multiple of revenue and growth, adjusted for margin. By reducing your cloud spend, you directly increase your gross margin, which can significantly boost your company valuation.

We run everything on Kubernetes. Is this tool compatible?

We specialize in Kubernetes. We don't just show you the cost of the cluster; we look inside to show you the cost of every pod, namespace, and deployment so you know exactly which microservice is expensive.

Will this distract my engineering team from shipping features?

It actually helps them focus. By automating the cleanup of dev environments and providing clear guardrails, your engineers spend less time firefighting billing issues and more time coding.

Can we use this to figure out pricing for our new Freemium tier?

Absolutely. We can show you exactly what a free user costs you in infrastructure. This allows you to set limits that prevent free users from draining your budget.
