By CloudFix · 4.4/5 Value-Position score (estimate)
Positioning guardrails
Best for
- AWS-heavy organisations spending $250K+ a year that want waste fixed, not just flagged
- FinOps and cloud platform teams that need a repeatable, auditable cost-optimisation process
- Companies that prefer buying through AWS Marketplace so spend counts toward their EDP commitment
- Engineering teams that want every change approved, logged and reversible inside their own account
Ideal size: 50–1,000+ employees people · Scale-up or enterprise with a live AWS footprint and an owner for cloud cost
Not for
- Multi-cloud or Azure/GCP-first estates — CloudFix states it is built only for AWS
- Companies with very small AWS bills, where $149+/month and onboarding time cannot pay for themselves
- Teams unwilling to deploy IAM roles and a CloudFormation stack into their own AWS accounts
- Buyers expecting AI forecasting or anomaly detection rather than rule-based AWS best-practice fixes

Bottom line
CloudFix is an AWS-only cost-optimisation service that finds the savings AWS recommends and applies the ones you approve inside your own account. Its 110+ finders and 53 automated fixers span 30+ AWS services and typically cut 20–35% off the total AWS bill. Setup takes about five minutes with read-only IAM roles; fixes run as Systems Manager Automation runbooks, with snapshots and full logging. Plans start at $149/month, billed through AWS Marketplace.
Frequently asked questions
How quickly would we see savings?
CloudFix connects in about five minutes using read-only IAM roles deployed by CloudFormation, and recommendations typically appear within 24 hours. The free scan shows potential savings by category before you pay anything, and realised savings accrue as you approve fixes and they run in your own account.
What does CloudFix cost and how is it billed?
Every account starts free. Paid plans are priced by annual AWS spend: Starter $149/month ($1,490/year) up to $250K spend, Growth $499/month, Scale $1,499/month, and Enterprise from $2,999/month for $5M+. All subscriptions are processed through AWS Marketplace, appear on your AWS bill, and count toward your EDP or PPA commitment.
Does CloudFix change anything in our account without our approval?
No. Every fixer appears as a recommendation you approve, schedule or decline. Approved fixes run as AWS Systems Manager Automation runbooks under a dedicated CloudFix role in your own account, taking a snapshot where the fix supports it and logging each execution with its own ID.
What access to our AWS environment does CloudFix need?
Read-only IAM roles created by a CloudFormation stack in your account. CloudFix reads Cost and Usage Reports, resource configurations and CloudWatch metrics, and states it never reads customer data in any data store. No long-term credentials, passwords or access keys are handed over.
How is this different from AWS Trusted Advisor or Cost Explorer?
Trusted Advisor and Cost Explorer surface recommendations; CloudFix implements them. CloudFix describes itself as "fixers, not finders" — each fixer implements a documented AWS best practice or advisory and runs through Systems Manager only after your approval.
Does CloudFix support multi-cloud, Azure or Google Cloud?
No. CloudFix states it is built only for AWS, and its finders and fixers cover 30+ AWS services. The optional companion product RightSpend then lowers the rate on EC2 you keep, with commitment-free discounts of 20–55% off on-demand and no one- or three-year lock-in.
