AWS Bill Checkup: find what you pay for and don’t use.
A read-only review of your whole AWS account, in every region. Within three business days you get a written report ranking each saving by dollars a month, with the exact fix, plus a 30-minute call to walk through it. $299, flat.
At least $50 a month in savings found, or your money back.
Where AWS bills quietly grow
Servers nobody uses
Stopped or idle servers. A stopped server still pays for its disks every month.
Disks attached to nothing
Storage volumes left behind when a server was deleted. They bill until someone removes them.
Old snapshots and backups
Backups from projects that ended, kept in the most expensive storage.
Unused public IP addresses
AWS charges about $3.60 a month for every public IPv4 address, in use or not.
Quiet load balancers and NAT gateways
About $16 to $33 a month each before traffic, often for something that was switched off long ago.
Oversized servers and databases
Machines sized for a launch-day spike that now sit at a few percent of their capacity.
Storage and logs kept forever
Files that could move to cheaper storage classes, and logs with no expiry date.
Discounts you are missing
Savings Plans and reservations that cut the price of steady workloads by a third or more.

Before you book
Is it safe to give you access?
You create the access yourself, from a template you can read first. It can list what is running and read your bill, and nothing else: it cannot change, delete or start anything, and it cannot open your files or databases. I never see your passwords or access keys, and you can remove the role at any time.
What if you do not find much?
If the checkup finds less than $50 a month in savings, you get a full refund and keep the report. If your bill is under about $300 a month, book a free call first so we can tell whether it is worth it.
Will you change anything in my account?
No. The checkup is read-only. If you want the fixes made for you, the report quotes a fixed price for that, and it is your call.
Who does the work?
I do: Nico Roldos, founder of Nico Tek Solutions. I build and run production systems on AWS every day, including AWS Study Hub.
I have several AWS accounts.
$299 covers one AWS account. For an AWS Organization or several accounts, book a free call and I will quote it.
