Frequently Asked Questions

Cirrondly is an AI-powered AWS cost optimization agent that detects waste and executes approved fixes from a chat interface. It connects to your AWS account, scans 8 services, and turns findings into concrete actions you can approve one by one.

Cirrondly reduces AWS costs by finding idle and overprovisioned resources, calculating exact monthly savings, and generating one-click action plans. After your approval, it executes optimizations directly in your AWS account across EC2, RDS, EBS, S3, ALB, DynamoDB, CloudWatch Logs, and ElastiCache.

Cirrondly optimizes 8 AWS services with service-specific detections and actions. It covers unused Elastic IPs, idle ALBs, CloudWatch Logs retention gaps, old RDS snapshots, overprovisioned DynamoDB tables, unattached EBS volumes, S3 lifecycle opportunities, and idle ElastiCache clusters.

No, Cirrondly never executes any optimization without your explicit approval. Every action is presented with impact and savings details in an approval modal, and destructive changes always require manual confirmation before anything is executed.

A full Cirrondly diagnosis usually completes in under 60 seconds for a single AWS account. You run it from chat, and Cirrondly returns findings, projected savings, and recommendations in one consolidated response.

Yes, Cirrondly supports rollback for reversible actions and keeps rollback metadata for each execution. Actions like EC2 stop and RDS stop include a 7-day rollback window, while irreversible actions require stronger confirmation before execution.

If no meaningful waste is detected, Cirrondly reports that your account is already well optimized and no paid execution is needed. Diagnosis is always free, so you only pay when you decide to execute valuable optimizations.

Cirrondly starts at $40 per month with flat pricing and no savings-based commissions. Starter is $40 for 1 account, Growth is $90 for 2 accounts, and Scale is $190 for 5 accounts, while diagnosis remains free.

No, Cirrondly does not take any percentage of your AWS savings. You keep 100% of savings because pricing is a flat monthly subscription instead of a performance fee model.

Yes, in practice the diagnosis is always free so you can validate savings before paying. You only need a paid plan when you want Cirrondly to execute optimization actions in your AWS account.

Yes, all Cirrondly plans are month-to-month with no long-term commitment. You can cancel at any time directly from your billing settings.

Yes, Cirrondly is designed for production safety with cross-account IAM, least-privilege defaults, explicit approvals, and action tagging. It uses STS temporary credentials and keeps read-only access by default until you approve a write action.

No, Cirrondly never stores AWS access keys or secret keys. Access is performed through AWS STS AssumeRole temporary credentials that expire automatically.

Cirrondly uses a CloudFormation template to provision a role with read-only permissions by default. Write permissions are scoped by service and only used when you approve specific actions after a pre-flight permission check.

No, your AWS cost and resource data are not shared with third parties. Cirrondly uses your data only to generate optimization recommendations and execute actions you approve.

Cirrondly differs from Cost Explorer by adding action and execution, not just reporting. Cost Explorer shows spending trends, while Cirrondly detects concrete waste, proposes actions, and executes fixes after your approval.

Cirrondly focuses on fast setup, flat pricing, and a chat-first UX for SMB teams, while nOps and CloudZero focus on larger FinOps workflows. Cirrondly starts at $40/month with no percentage fee and connects in under 2 minutes through CloudFormation.

Cirrondly differentiates with a conversational interface, faster onboarding, and proactive spike detection alerts. Both tools detect waste with flat pricing, but Cirrondly is designed to operate through plain-English chat interactions.
