Service Pricing - Cloud Cost Optimization & FinOps
Indicative ranges for our most-asked engagements. Final scope and pricing locked in a 30-minute discovery call.
40% off for our first 5 engagements - in exchange for a case study.
We're building our public track record. The first five clients on any assessment below get 40% off the fixed fee in return for a named case study and a short testimonial once the savings land. Limited to five - once they're taken, full rates apply.
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.
Engagements & indicative pricing
Seven engagement shapes covering diagnostics, deep assessments, ongoing execution, and migration.
Every paid assessment runs a full Fintropy platform scan - all 497 cost rules across AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, and VMware, FOCUS-normalized. That's what separates a paid engagement from the free pilot: the pilot is a sample read to prove value, while a paid engagement is the complete, platform-grade scan plus a prioritized roadmap, named owners, and a findings review session.
Cloud Cost Diagnostic
A quick read on the highest-ROI cloud savings opportunities in your estate. Findings deck and short-list of execution candidates.
More than the free pilot: the pilot is a sample read; the Diagnostic is a full multi-cloud Fintropy scan with a prioritized findings deck and execution candidates you can act on right away.
Cloud Cost Optimization Assessment
3-week deep scan across AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, and VMware with a prioritized 90-day roadmap, owners, and estimated savings.
FinOps Maturity Assessment
FinOps Foundation framework alignment across Inform, Optimize, and Operate. Maturity scoring for governance, tagging, allocation, and reporting.
Ongoing FinOps Retainer
Monthly execution support - anomaly response, monthly reporting, rightsizing follow-through, commitment management, stakeholder reviews.
AI Cost Quick Scan
A focused read on your biggest AI infrastructure cost levers - GPU utilization, inference spend, and obvious training waste. The lighter on-ramp before a full AI Infrastructure Cost Assessment.
AI Infrastructure Cost Assessment
GPU rightsizing, inference cost levers, training spot strategy, vector DB choices, and RAG cost shape. For teams running serious AI workloads.
Cloud Migration
Per-wave, fixed-scope migration across AWS, Azure, GCP, and VMware. FinOps-aware sizing locked at SOW signature so you migrate optimized, not just lifted.
Indicative ranges. Scoped per engagement. Final fee fixed at SOW signature after a 30-minute discovery call.
What's included - and what isn't

Engagement models we offer
Pick the commercial shape that matches your maturity and risk appetite. Most clients land on the hybrid.
Fixed-fee
For assessments and diagnostics. Predictable cost, scope locked at SOW, no surprises.
Monthly retainer
Ongoing FinOps support, anomaly response, monthly reporting, and follow-through on roadmap items.
Savings-share
A percentage of realized savings over a defined baseline. Available case-by-case - requires governance maturity to measure cleanly.
Hybrid
Fixed-fee assessment up front, then retainer execution after the roadmap. The most common shape we see.
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, and every assessment runs a full Fintropy platform scan - 497 cost rules across AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, and VMware - so you get 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.
