Terms · AWSCost
What you get, and what you owe.
Effective date: 17 August 2026
AWSCost (https://awscost.fyi) is run by Ivan Tsekov, an individual based in Bulgaria. Using the site means you agree to what follows.
What AWSCost does
You deploy a read-only role into your AWS account. AWSCost reads your bill and your resources through it and returns a list of places money is being wasted, each with a dollar amount and the trade-off of fixing it.
The scan is free. You see how many findings there are and what they add up to before you pay anything. Paying unlocks the detail: which resource, why, and what to do.
Your account
You sign in with Google. One person per account - keep it to yourself, and tell us if someone else gets into it.
An AWS account can be connected by one AWSCost user at a time. If a colleague connected it first, ask them to disconnect before you try.
What it costs
A report is a single payment, not a subscription. Nothing recurs and there is nothing to cancel.
The price comes from your own measured monthly AWS bill: $49 under $2,000, $99 up to $10,000, $149 above that. You are shown the price before you pay. The bands in full.
One report covers one AWS account. Prices are in US dollars. Payment goes through Stripe.
Refunds
Email analyze@awscost.fyi within 14 days of paying and you get your money back. No questions, no form.
The report locks again once the refund goes through.
What the report is, and is not
Every finding is an estimate. It is built from AWS list prices and from what a read-only role can observe, which is not everything: it cannot see your discounts, your Savings Plans coverage, your contracts, or what a resource is actually for.
So a finding is a place to look, not an instruction. Check each one against your own account before you change anything. An idle-looking instance may be a warm standby; an oversized database may be sized for a month you have not had yet.
You decide what to change, and you carry the consequences of changing it. AWSCost never touches your account, so nothing it reports can be applied by us.
Your AWS account
The role lives in your account and belongs to you. Delete the CloudFormation stack whenever you like and AWSCost immediately loses all access.
Running a scan makes API calls that AWS charges you for - roughly $0.10 per scan, mostly Cost Explorer. That is your bill, not ours.
Connect only an account you are allowed to connect. If it belongs to an employer or a client, get their permission first.
Fair use
Do not attempt to reach another customer’s data, break the site, or scrape it in bulk. Do not resell a report as your own.
You can use the findings however you like inside your own business, including in work you do for a client.
Liability
AWSCost is provided as it is. It is one person’s tool, not an audit and not professional advice.
If something goes wrong and it is our fault, what you can recover is limited to what you paid us. Nothing here removes rights you have as a consumer under Bulgarian or EU law.
Changes, and which law applies
These terms can change; the effective date at the top changes with them. A change never applies backwards to a report you already bought.
Bulgarian law applies. Questions go to analyze@awscost.fyi.
