Who we are
Cloud Cost Room was founded in 2019 by former hyperscaler cloud-economics leads and certified FinOps practitioners. We started the firm because we kept seeing the same thing from the inside: customers paying on-demand rates they never needed, running fleets twice the size of their workloads, and lacking anyone whose job was to challenge the bill. We left to be that someone, from the customer's side.
Today we are an independent, vendor-neutral advisory operating across the four major clouds: AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and Oracle Cloud. We have optimized more than $420M in cloud spend, cut the average client's monthly bill by 31 percent, and worked across 500+ cloud environments. We work from offices in Austin, London and Singapore.
Why independence matters
Most firms that touch your cloud bill have a conflict. Resellers earn margin on the spend they help you grow. Vendor-aligned partners are incentivized to keep you on one cloud. We take neither commissions nor resale margin, which means the only way we make money is by lowering your bill. That alignment is the whole point. When we recommend Graviton over x86, Spot over on-demand, or one cloud over another, it is because the math favors you, not because a vendor favors us.
Independent. Vendor neutral. Paid to lower your bill, never to grow it. On the performance model, if we save you nothing, you pay nothing.
How we work: See, Cut, Lock, Run
Our method is a loop, not a project. We See first, normalizing your spend so every dollar has an owner. We Cut waste by rightsizing and scheduling before buying any commitment, so we never lock in oversized fleets. We Lock the savings with budgets, anomaly alerts and guardrails. And we Run it continuously, because cloud pricing and your workloads both keep moving. The full method is on our method page, and the cross-cloud version of the playbook is the complete cloud cost optimization playbook for 2026.
Three ways to engage
We offer three pricing models so the risk sits where you want it: a fixed fee scoped to the engagement, a performance fee on a no savings, no fee basis where we carry the risk, or Managed FinOps as an ongoing monthly service. The differentiator is the performance model: we are confident enough in the savings to be paid only from what we realize. The full breakdown is on our pricing page.
Where to start
If you run on AWS, read the complete guide to AWS cost optimization or explore the AWS service. If you are a finance leader, the CFO's guide to cloud cost management and Managed FinOps are the right entry points. When you are ready, the fastest path to a number is a cost audit.
