CloudFix

CloudFix is built for AWS teams that want a controlled path from finding possible savings to making infrastructure changes. Its customer approval step and in-account execution make it a strong fit for teams that need an audit trail; its AWS-only scope and lack of budget alerts narrow the case.

Overview

CloudFix analyzes Cost and Usage Reports, CloudWatch metrics, and resource metadata across more than 30 AWS services. Its 110+ finders and 53 automated fixers give teams a broad set of savings opportunities to review, alongside cost allocation, rightsizing guidance, and commitment management. It does not access customer data in data stores, but it does not cover other clouds or provide budget alerts.

Fixes require customer approval, then run as AWS Systems Manager Automation runbooks in the customer’s account. Activity is recorded in that account’s CloudTrail, and each fix execution is logged. This is a meaningful control for teams wary of unreviewed infrastructure changes, though it still requires someone to assess recommendations and approve them.

Connection uses least-privilege IAM roles created through CloudFormation, with no agents or stored credentials. CloudFix states that it is SOC 2 Type 2 audited, encrypts data with TLS 1.2+ in transit and AES-256 at rest, and has a 99.5% per-quarter uptime SLA for its dashboard and API.

Key features

Savings discovery: Finders use billing reports, CloudWatch metrics, and resource metadata to surface opportunities. The breadth across AWS services is useful for teams seeking more than basic spend visibility.

Customer-approved fixes: Approved changes run in the customer’s account as Systems Manager Automation runbooks. This keeps implementation under customer control rather than making recommendations silently actionable.

Auditable execution: CloudTrail records activity in the customer’s account, and CloudFix logs each fix execution. This is a practical advantage for teams that need to trace changes.

Cost controls: Cost allocation, rightsizing guidance, and commitment management support several common optimization tasks. The absence of budget alerts means CloudFix is not a substitute for spend-change alerting.

Pricing

CloudFix uses flat-rate subscriptions processed through AWS Marketplace, with monthly or annual billing. Plans are organized around annual AWS spend, so the relevant price is only part of the decision: each tier is aimed at a different scale of operation.

Starter is the entry point for smaller AWS estates that want one-click implementation and all 53 fixers. Growth makes more sense for teams with cloud or FinOps functions that need stronger reporting and priority support. Scale adds integrations, SSO/SAML, and recurring optimization reviews for mid-market operations; Enterprise targets large, complex multi-account setups that need custom integrations and SLAs. A free tier and 30-day trial lower the barrier to evaluation, while annual billing gives the stated savings over monthly billing.

Platforms

CloudFix is available through web and API platforms and supports AWS. That focused coverage suits AWS estates, but teams managing other cloud providers will need a broader tool.

Who it's for

CloudFix is strongest for AWS-focused organizations that want savings recommendations to lead to controlled, auditable changes. Startups can begin with Starter; growing teams gain priority support and advanced reporting with Growth; mid-market and large organizations get increasingly tailored integrations and service through Scale and Enterprise. It is a weaker fit for teams that need multi-cloud coverage, budget alerts, or a monitoring-only service.

Pros and cons

Pros: Customer approval precedes every fix, and execution stays in the customer’s AWS account, giving teams control over change.

Pros: CloudTrail activity and per-execution logs support traceability, while least-privilege IAM roles avoid agents and stored credentials.

Pros: The finder and fixer coverage spans 30+ AWS services, with cost allocation, rightsizing guidance, and commitment management alongside savings discovery.

Cons: AWS-only support rules it out for teams that need one cost-management view across clouds.

Cons: No budget alerts means teams must use another way to catch spending changes.

Cons: The Free tier’s full resource details last 30 days, so sustained automation and support require a paid plan.

Alternatives

Cloud cost management software is a useful category to compare if CloudFix’s AWS focus or missing budget alerts do not fit.

Teevity is worth considering for high-level cost monitoring across all clouds, with a free dashboard and daily email.

Infracost is a better candidate when the priority is cost checks in CI/CD, with a free tier of 1,000 runs per month.

Azure Application Insights is an option for teams already centered on Azure Monitor Logs and usage-based ingestion.

CloudBolt offers a free core CMP for up to 100 resources, making it an alternative for teams evaluating cloud management rather than AWS savings fixes specifically.

AWS Billing and Cost Management is the native option to consider for AWS billing and cost management; some features, including Cost Explorer API requests and hourly granularity, carry separate usage-based charges.

Google Cloud Cost Management is the natural alternative for Google Cloud customers, with no additional charge for its cost-management tools.

OpenCost suits teams seeking a free, open-source Kubernetes cost tool that can run self-hosted with Prometheus.

CAST AI is another alternative to consider.

Verdict

Choose CloudFix if your organization runs AWS and wants customer-approved savings fixes executed and recorded in its own account. Its approval controls and audit trail are the central reasons to choose it. Look elsewhere if you need multi-cloud coverage or budget alerts, and weigh the spend-based paid tiers against the value of their added support and integrations.
