CloudZero tells you what each customer, feature, or team costs. Cloud Cost Analyzer tells you what to delete to spend less, with a specific fix per finding and no billing-data pipeline to build.
An enterprise platform for cost per unit (per customer, feature, or team), built on ingesting your Cost and Usage Report. Strong at allocation, showback/chargeback, and anomaly detection for FinOps organizations. Onboarding is sales-led and pricing is custom.
A read-only CLI scan that runs 90 rules across compute, storage, networking, and more, then returns a report of idle and orphaned resources, over-provisioning, and old snapshots, each with the exact fix and estimated savings. It answers what do I do about it?

You are a larger organization that needs true unit economics: what each customer, feature, or team costs, plus showback and chargeback across your bill.
You want to find and delete waste this week: a read-only scan, a prioritized fix list, CI/CD enforcement, and transparent pricing, with no onboarding project and no billing data leaving your account.
CloudZero to understand and allocate the spend, CCA to remediate the waste inside it. Allocation tells you where the money goes; CCA tells you which of it to stop spending.
