Service Pricing — Cloud Cost Optimization & FinOps

Indicative ranges for our most-asked engagements. Final scope and pricing locked in a 30-minute discovery call.

Fixed-fee assessments Monthly retainers Savings-share (case-by-case) INR + USD invoicing

Why we publish ranges — not flat prices

Every cloud estate has different complexity. A single-cloud, single-account startup is a fundamentally different shape of work to a multi-cloud, multi-business-unit regulated enterprise. Regulated industries — BFSI, healthcare, insurance — carry additional compliance overlays that change the scope of read-only access, residency, and reporting. INR versus USD invoicing also moves the net price because the engagements get scoped from different cost bases. We do not believe in hidden quotes, so we publish the realistic range you should expect to pay and we commit to a fixed fee at SOW signature. These are indicative — actual scope is locked after a 30-minute discovery call.

These numbers are indicative ranges, not quotes.

Final pricing depends on cloud footprint, scope, regulatory overlay, and timeline. Engagements with India-headquartered clients are priced in INR; global engagements in USD.

Engagement models we offer

Pick the commercial shape that matches your maturity and risk appetite. Most clients land on the hybrid.

Model 1

Fixed-fee

For assessments and diagnostics. Predictable cost, scope locked at SOW, no surprises.

Best for: First-time engagements, board-funded mandates, procurement-locked budgets.
Model 2

Monthly retainer

Ongoing FinOps support, anomaly response, monthly reporting, and follow-through on roadmap items.

Best for: Teams that want sustained execution muscle without hiring in.
Model 3

Savings-share

A percentage of realized savings over a defined baseline. Available case-by-case — requires governance maturity to measure cleanly.

Best for: Mature FinOps teams with clean baselines and tag governance.
Model 4

Hybrid

Fixed-fee assessment up front, then retainer execution after the roadmap. The most common shape we see.

Best for: Most clients. Predictable start, sustained follow-through.

INR vs USD invoicing

India-headquartered clients are invoiced in INR by our Indian entity — which means no FX risk for you, no cross-border banking friction, and clean GST treatment under the standard SAC code for IT consulting services. International clients are invoiced in USD against our standard MSA. Conversion between the published USD and INR ranges is locked at engagement-start rate, not floating — so the price you sign for at SOW is the price you pay through the engagement, even if currency markets move.

Frequently asked questions

Why ranges and not flat prices?+

Because scope drives price. Cloud estate complexity, the number of accounts and subscriptions, regulatory overlays, and the level of governance maturity all materially change the work involved. We commit to a fixed fee at SOW signature after a 30-minute discovery call, which is when we have enough information to be accurate.

Do you do pay-from-savings?+

Yes, case-by-case. Savings-share requires a clean baseline plus governance maturity to measure realized savings cleanly. Most clients start with a fixed-fee assessment to establish the baseline, then choose savings-share for the execution phase.

How does this compare to other cloud cost optimization companies' pricing?+

Most large global firms quote $50K and above for similar assessment scopes. Boutique India-headquartered firms tend to be lower, with the trade-off being depth of multi-cloud experience. Our pricing sits at the lower end of multi-cloud specialists — we are deliberately positioned for clients who want platform-grade depth without enterprise-consulting overhead.

What's the minimum engagement?+

The Cloud Cost Diagnostic at $8K USD or ₹6L INR for 10 business days. It is quick, predictable, and carries no commitment beyond the diagnostic itself. Most clients use it to validate ROI before stepping into a larger assessment.

Is the assessment cost typically recovered in savings?+

Yes, in our experience identified savings within the first 90 days post-roadmap typically exceed the assessment fee. Realized savings — what actually lands on the bill — depend on execution discipline and governance follow-through, which is why we offer retainers.

Can we get a quote without a call?+

No. The 30-minute discovery call is required so we can give you a number that is actually accurate rather than a copy-paste estimate. We would rather invest 30 minutes upfront than send you a quote that needs to be re-priced once we see the estate.
