Bottom line
ProsperOps is a FinOps automation platform that manages commitment-based discounts and resource schedules across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. Autonomous Discount Management continuously buys and adjusts savings plans and reserved instances, while Autonomous Resource Management schedules workloads. Pricing is a share of realized savings, so the service is designed to pay for itself. Founded in 2018 in Austin, Texas, and acquired by Flexera in January 2026. Deployment takes hours via least-privilege IAM roles with no agents.
Frequently asked questions
How does ProsperOps charge for its service?
Pricing is tied to cloud savings generated rather than cloud spend. Autonomous Discount Management takes a small percentage of realized savings, calculated by the provider's own billing system, and Autonomous Resource Management charges a flat fee per managed resource per month. The free Savings Analysis carries no commitment, and customers report the fee is offset by the savings returned to the cloud budget.
How long does it take to deploy and see value?
The vendor states customers configure and deploy within a few hours and begin generating savings immediately. A free Savings Analysis requires minimal IAM permissions and can return results in as little as 24 hours. No agent is installed; access is granted through an IAM role on AWS or a Service Principal on Azure.
Does ProsperOps act automatically, or does it only make recommendations?
It executes automatically in the background, running a high-frequency series of adjustments to your discount portfolio. Customers govern it with platform controls, including setting coverage and risk parameters and approving a quarterly prepayment budget before any prepayment beyond monthly spend is deployed.
What cloud permissions does ProsperOps need?
The company uses least-privilege access. For discount management, the role cannot manipulate your engineering resources, so ProsperOps cannot start, stop or terminate workloads or access your resources. ProsperOps Scheduler, which automates resource start/stop, requires additional permissions that are granted explicitly.
Which clouds and services are supported?
Autonomous Discount Management covers AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, including services such as RDS, OpenSearch, Redshift, ElastiCache, MemoryDB, Azure SQL Database, AKS and Google Kubernetes Engine. ProsperOps Scheduler is currently available for AWS Compute ADM customers, with Azure and Google Cloud support under discussion.
What happens if we cancel our subscription?
You can cancel at any time. On cancellation you are billed the savings-share charge for the current month to date, plus a final savings-share charge for future-to-be-realized savings on commitments ProsperOps manages. Unrealized savings-share fees may apply for the remaining term of a terminated discount instrument, up to a maximum of 12 months.
