Your AWS bill grew 40% last year. Revenue grew 25%. Nobody can explain exactly where the extra spend went.

That gap is common. Most B2B SaaS teams treat cloud cost as a finance problem until it becomes a board-level problem. By then, waste is baked into architecture decisions, autoscaling defaults, and “we’ll clean it up after the launch” shortcuts.

We are offering a free AWS Cost Optimization Assessment for qualifying B2B SaaS companies. If you choose to implement with us, you pay nothing upfront and nothing hourly. Our fee is a 40% share of the savings we deliver—aligned entirely with your results.

TL;DR

   
Assessment Free. One week. Read-only access to billing, Cost Explorer, and architecture.
What you get Prioritized savings opportunities, estimated annual impact, and an implementation plan.
Implementation fee 40% of savings we deliver. No retainer. No hourly rate.
Who it is for B2B SaaS on AWS, typically $15K+/month in AWS spend, with engineering capacity to approve changes.

Why most AWS cost reviews fail

Generic FinOps advice sounds reasonable and changes nothing:

  • “Right-size your instances” without knowing which workloads are latency-sensitive
  • “Buy Reserved Instances” without modeling utilization risk across a growing product
  • “Turn off idle resources” without understanding what is idle vs. standby for DR or batch jobs

Useful cost optimization is technical work. It requires reading your architecture, tracing spend to services and environments, and separating waste from intentional redundancy.

That is what this assessment is built for.

What the free assessment covers

Duration: One week
Access: Read-only. AWS billing and Cost Explorer, architecture diagrams, and a short stakeholder interview. No production credentials required.

1. Spend baseline and trend analysis

  • Monthly spend by service, account, environment, and tag (where tags exist)
  • 12-month trend: what grew, what spiked, what is structurally flat
  • Unit economics where possible: cost per customer, cost per environment, cost per core workload

2. Technical waste and architecture review

We look under the hood for the patterns that show up repeatedly in B2B SaaS AWS estates:

  • Compute — Over-provisioned EC2 and ECS/EKS tasks, idle instances, legacy instance families, autoscaling configs that never scale down
  • Storage — Unattached EBS volumes, stale snapshots, S3 lifecycle gaps, expensive storage classes on cold data
  • Databases — Oversized RDS/Aurora, unused read replicas, provisioned IOPS you are not using, dev/staging running at prod scale
  • Networking — NAT Gateway and data transfer surprises, cross-AZ traffic you did not plan for, public endpoints that should be private
  • Commitments — Savings Plans and Reserved Instance coverage gaps, expiring commitments, workloads that moved but discounts did not follow
  • Operational drift — Resources outside IaC, zombie environments, “temporary” infra that became permanent

3. Prioritized savings roadmap

You receive a written report with:

  • Ranked opportunities by estimated savings and implementation effort
  • Annual impact estimates for each item
  • Risk notes — what not to touch without a migration plan or performance validation
  • Implementation sequence — quick wins first, structural changes where they belong

No 80-slide deck. A report your engineering and finance leads can act on.

How pricing works

We do not charge for the assessment.

If you engage us to implement the roadmap, you pay a 40% share of the savings we deliver. No upfront fee. No hourly billing. If we do not save you money, you do not pay us.

We stay engaged long enough for optimizations to fully ramp and hold, so our incentive matches yours over time—not just on paper in week one.

Terms are spelled out in a short agreement before any implementation work begins.

What implementation looks like

Implementation scope depends on what the assessment finds. Typical work includes:

  • Rightsizing and instance family modernization with performance validation
  • Autoscaling and scheduling adjustments for non-production environments
  • S3 lifecycle policies, EBS cleanup, and snapshot retention fixes
  • Savings Plan and Reserved Instance recommendations with utilization modeling
  • IaC updates (Terraform or CloudFormation) so savings stick after the engagement
  • Tagging and allocation improvements so finance can see cost by product or team

We work in your AWS account. Changes go through your normal review process. We document everything so your team owns the outcome.

Who this is for

Good fit:

  • B2B SaaS companies on AWS with $15K+/month in spend (or clear growth toward that threshold)
  • Engineering leaders who can approve infrastructure changes within a few weeks
  • Teams that want technical execution, not another vendor benchmark PDF

Poor fit:

  • Spend under ~$5K/month (savings may not justify a structured engagement)
  • No ability to grant read-only billing access or architecture context
  • Organizations looking for a one-time RI purchase recommendation with no follow-through

If your primary challenge is AI workload cost (tokens, embeddings, inference at scale), our AI Readiness Assessment may be a better starting point. If the issue is general AWS infrastructure waste, this assessment is the right door.

Why TechSight

We are not a reseller and we do not sell AWS commitments for a commission. Our incentive is aligned with yours: reduce your bill, share in the savings we prove.

Our team brings hands-on FinOps and AWS infrastructure experience across B2B SaaS environments: rightsizing without breaking latency-sensitive workloads, commitment strategies that match actual utilization, and cost fixes that survive the next deploy because they live in IaC.

That is the difference between a cost report and cost reduction that shows up on next quarter’s P&L.

How to engage

  1. Short qualification call — Confirm AWS spend range, access, and timeline.
  2. Read-only access — Billing, Cost Explorer, and architecture context. We share a minimal access checklist when you get in touch.
  3. One-week assessment — Analysis, report, and readout with engineering and finance stakeholders.
  4. Your call on implementation — Review the roadmap. If you want us to execute, we agree terms and get to work.

The assessment is free whether or not you proceed to implementation.

Closing

Cloud cost should not be a mystery that only surfaces in board prep. If your AWS spend is growing faster than your business, the fix is usually technical, and often faster than teams expect.

Free one-week assessment. Savings-share implementation. You only pay when we save you money.
