Democratizing FinOps for Everyone

Cloud Cost Optimization Made Simple

Free tools, scripts, and resources for SMBs, cloud enthusiasts, and FinOps beginners. No enterprise complexity, no hidden costs.

The FinOps Problem

Enterprise solutions have created barriers that exclude 99% of businesses from effective cloud cost optimization. It's time to change that.

99% of businesses excluded

Enterprise Gatekeeping

Most FinOps tools require $25,000+ setup costs and dedicated teams of 3+ people

2-3 years to ROI

Complex Implementation

75% of companies do not expect positive FinOps outcomes for 2-3 years due to complexity

39% SMB overspend

Hidden Cloud Waste

SMBs spend up to $600,000 annually on cloud services but see minimal cost reductions

$5,200 annual labor cost

Lack of Expertise

Small teams lack specialized FinOps knowledge and time to implement cost optimization

The Reality Check

While enterprises spend millions on FinOps platforms, small teams are left with manual spreadsheets and surprise cloud bills. This isn't just unfair—it's unsustainable.
