CloudFix

CloudFix identifies potential AWS cost savings and can implement changes after customers approve them. It lists 110+ finders and 53 automated fixers across 30+ AWS services. Finders analyze Cost and Usage Reports, CloudWatch metrics, and resource metadata; the company says they do not access data in customer data stores. CloudFix connects through least-privilege IAM roles created with CloudFormation, without agents or stored credentials. Approved fixes run as AWS Systems Manager Automation runbooks in the customer's account. Activity is recorded in the customer's CloudTrail, and each fix execution is logged. The Trust Center states that CloudFix is SOC 2 Type 2 audited, uses TLS 1.2+ in transit and AES-256 at rest, and has a 99.5% per-quarter uptime SLA for its dashboard and API. Plans include a free tier and paid tiers, processed through AWS Marketplace with monthly or annual billing. Paid plans vary by AWS spend level and add support, reporting, optimization reviews, and integrations. CloudFix supports cost allocation, rightsizing guidance, and commitment management, but not budget alerts.

CloudFix pairs AWS savings recommendations with customer approval and logged implementation in the customer's account. Its free tier offers a starting scan, while paid plans are structured around AWS spend and added services.

The listed plans position CloudFix for startups, growing companies with cloud or FinOps functions, mid-market companies, and large organizations with complex multi-account setups. It suits AWS customers seeking approved cost-saving changes and tracking of fix activity.

CloudFix is AWS cost-optimization software that finds savings opportunities and can carry out approved changes in your AWS account. It suits organizations that want cost recommendations tied to controlled implementation, especially teams with a cloud or FinOps function. Its strongest advantage is the approval and audit trail; its AWS-only scope and lack of budget alerts narrow its appeal.

Overview

CloudFix analyzes Cost and Usage Reports, CloudWatch metrics, and resource metadata to surface potential savings. Its 110+ finders and 53 automated fixers cover more than 30 AWS services, alongside cost allocation, rightsizing guidance, and commitment management. That breadth gives AWS-focused teams a substantial pool of opportunities to review, but it does not extend to other cloud providers, and there are no budget alerts for teams that need spending thresholds to trigger notifications.

Fixes require customer approval, then run as AWS Systems Manager Automation runbooks in the customer’s account. Executions are logged, with activity recorded in CloudTrail. This makes CloudFix a considered fit for teams that need a review step and traceable infrastructure changes; it does mean recommendations are not a substitute for someone evaluating and approving them.

CloudFix connects through least-privilege IAM roles created with CloudFormation, without agents or stored credentials. Finders work with billing reports, metrics, and resource metadata rather than accessing data in customer data stores. The Trust Center states SOC 2 Type 2 auditing, TLS 1.2+ in transit, AES-256 at rest, and a 99.5% per-quarter uptime SLA for the dashboard and API.

Key features

• Savings discovery: More than 110 finders examine AWS billing, metrics, and resource metadata. This gives teams multiple avenues for finding waste without granting access to data stored in their services.
• Approved implementation: The 53 automated fixers can implement changes after customer approval. Running them in the customer’s account preserves a clear boundary around who authorizes changes.
• Audit trail: CloudTrail records activity and each fix execution is logged, useful for teams that need to trace cost-optimization changes.
• Plan-based integrations and service: Jira and ServiceNow integrations start at Scale; Enterprise adds custom integrations. Support rises from email at Starter to priority support at Growth, a dedicated success manager at Scale, and a dedicated Slack channel at Enterprise.

Pricing

CloudFix uses flat-rate subscriptions, processed through AWS Marketplace, with monthly or annual billing. The free tier costs nothing and requires no credit card. It includes a scan, savings grouped by category, and full resource details for 30 days. That is a practical starting point for evaluating opportunities, but the 30-day resource-detail window and absence of the paid plans’ specified implementation and support benefits make it a limited ongoing service.

• Starter: $149 a month or $1,490/year (save $298). For startups with up to $250K/year AWS spend, it includes 53 automated fixers, one-click implementation, basic reporting and exports, and email support. It is the lowest paid tier with the stated fixer set, though reporting and support remain basic.
• Growth: $499 a month or $4,990/year (save $998). For $250K–$1M/year AWS spend, it adds priority support, advanced reporting, and a quarterly optimization review. Growing teams with cloud or FinOps functions get more recurring guidance than Starter provides.
• Scale: $1,499 a month or $14,990/year (save $2,998). For $1M–$5M/year AWS spend, it includes a dedicated success manager, Jira/ServiceNow integration, SSO/SAML, and monthly optimization reviews. Those additions target mid-market organizations coordinating cost work across teams.
• Enterprise: $2,999 a month or $29,990/year (saving $5,998). For $5M+/year AWS spend, it includes custom SLAs and integrations, a dedicated Slack channel, executive business reviews, and early access to new fixers. Its services address large organizations with complex multi-account setups; smaller teams may have little reason to pay for that service level.

The product also advertises a 30-day trial. The stated spend bands are useful for matching a plan to company scale, while the sharp increase in price means the review and support additions matter most to teams that will use them regularly.

Platforms

CloudFix is available through an API and the web. Its supported cloud is AWS, so organizations standardizing on other cloud providers need a different tool.

Who it's for

CloudFix is best for AWS teams that want savings discovery connected to customer-approved remediation and an audit trail. Starter fits startups within its spend cap; Growth suits organizations building cloud or FinOps operations; Scale adds identity controls, integrations, and regular reviews for mid-market teams; Enterprise is aimed at large organizations with complex multi-account needs. It is a poor fit for teams that require budget alerts or one service spanning multiple clouds.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Approved fixes execute in the customer’s account and leave CloudTrail activity and execution logs, supporting oversight and traceability.
• Pro: Coverage spans 110+ finders and 53 automated fixers across 30+ AWS services, giving AWS teams breadth across discovery and implementation.
• Pro: The free tier offers a no-card scan and resource details for 30 days, allowing an initial look before choosing a paid plan.
• Con: AWS is the only supported cloud, ruling out teams that need cross-cloud cost work in one product.
• Con: Budget alerts are absent, so CloudFix does not cover that part of ongoing spend monitoring.
• Con: Paid pricing climbs from $149 to $2,999 a month, making the higher tiers a substantial commitment for organizations that do not need their added reviews, integrations, or support.

Verdict

Choose CloudFix if your organization runs on AWS and wants cost savings to move from discovery to customer-approved, logged implementation. Look elsewhere if you need budget alerts, multi-cloud coverage, or a lower-cost paid service without those organizational controls.
