Usage AI is an automated cloud cost optimization and commitment management platform built for modern FinOps and engineering teams. We help companies maximize their cloud investment across AWS, Azure, and GCP by eliminating commitment waste and unlocking 30–50% savings with real cashback, $0 upfront, and no long-term lock-in. Onboarding takes just five minutes. \*\*The Problem\*\* Cloud commitments are powerful but mismanaged commitments quietly drain budgets. Engineering teams typically waste 25–35% of cloud spend on underutilized Reserved Instances, oversized Savings Plans, and delayed optimization decisions. Most cloud cost management tools stop at visibility. They show dashboards and generate recommendations, but action still requires manual execution. By the time recommendations are reviewed, often based on 72-hour-old data, usage patterns have shifted. The result is that commitment waste compounds daily while optimization remains stuck in a backlog. \*\*What Usage AI Does\*\* Usage AI goes beyond reporting. We automate cloud commitment optimization so savings happen without consuming engineering time. Our proprietary Flex Commitment products unlock deeper discounts across AWS, Azure, and GCP, including usage that standard Reserved Instances and Savings Plans cannot efficiently cover. We offer three core products: Flex Usage Savings Plan (EC2): 40–60% savings Flex Usage Reserved Instances (RDS, ElastiCache): 20–35% savings Flex Reserved Instances (RDS, ElastiCache, Redshift, OpenSearch, DynamoDB): 30–40% savings All products require $0 upfront. Setup is simple. Simply connect your cloud account with secure read-only IAM access in 5–10 minutes. Usage AI continuously analyzes your environment, refreshes recommendations every 24 hours (compared to 72+ hours in native cloud tools), and automatically executes optimal commitment purchases with your approval. If usage changes, you receive cashback. If you don’t save, we don’t earn. There’s no lock-in and no financial risk. * * * Seller [Usage AI](https://www.g2.com/sellers/usage-ai) Discussions [Usage AI Community](https://www.g2.com/products/usage-ai/discuss) Languages Supported English Overview by Bardia Rezaei (Underwriting RIs at Usage AI) Show More ## Pricing Pricing provided by Usage AI. ### Subscription Pay As You Go Per Month [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/usage-ai/pricing) ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![Ubuntu](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Ubuntu") Ubuntu 4.5/5(2,399) ](https://www.g2.com/products/ubuntu/reviews) [ ![Google Compute Engine](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Google Compute Engine") Google Compute Engine 4.5/5(953) ](https://www.g2.com/products/google-compute-engine/reviews) [ ![Datadog](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Datadog") Datadog 4.4/5(726) ](https://www.g2.com/products/datadog/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/usage-ai/competitors/alternatives) ## User Insights Average based on 6 real user reviews.
