Cloud Waste Scanner is a local-first cloud audit tool designed to help small and medium-sized business (SMB) teams quickly identify and address unnecessary cloud resource spending. The platform conducts a read-only, agentless audit of cloud infrastructure, promising to surface waste such as idle compute, orphaned resources, and low-utilization assets within a 15-minute scan. Its primary goal is to enable teams to find and act on cloud leakage without the need for production changes or write permissions, ensuring that credentials remain on the user's side throughout the process.
The tool generates actionable outputs after a single local scan, including a prioritized list of waste with owner context, a shareable evidence pack in dashboard, PDF, and CSV formats, and a report-ready action plan. These outputs are structured to support operators, finance leads, and founders, facilitating immediate review and approval workflows. Cloud Waste Scanner replaces manual weekly review processes such as spreadsheet compilation and console hopping by consolidating findings into a single, comprehensive report pack. This makes it easier for teams to align on exposure, assign remediation tasks, and streamline budgeting and approval cycles.
Cloud Waste Scanner supports audits across 47 cloud and storage providers, offering enough coverage for SMBs to run a serious audit without a complex rollout. The platform is tailored to various team types, including SaaS, e-commerce, managed service providers (MSPs), regulated industries, fintech, and healthcare, each with specific use cases such as margin protection, peak-season resource review, and compliance-driven audits. Its operational workflow is designed so that evidence from one scan can be handed off cleanly between operators, finance, and management, making weekly governance repeatable and reducing approval loops.
The service offers a self-serve purchasing process with a 14-day refund path, allowing teams to evaluate its effectiveness risk-free. Public roadmap commitments and a direct feedback channel are provided, emphasizing transparency and ongoing product maintenance. Cloud Waste Scanner is built by operators who prioritize evidence, review artifacts, and clear boundaries over hosted control planes, aiming to deliver immediate savings and actionable insights for lean DevOps and IT teams.
In the Other analytics space, Cloud Waste Scanner takes a focused approach. It focuses on identifying and reporting unused or wasted cloud resources to reduce unnecessary costs. It is built as a B2B product for SMB DevOps and IT teams. Pricing is paid. It runs on the web and API.
