The cost of delay
At $25,000/month, every month you delay this free assessment you are likely handing Amazon $6,250 in unrecoverable waste — about $75,000 a year.
Last month's waste can't be refunded. Only the next cycle is still yours to fix.
“The estimate was actually conservative. HiveTek found 31% waste we didn't know we had.”
This model is built on millions of dollars of analyzed AWS spend. Your assessment returns the exact numbers — itemized, line by line, for your own account.
Where the savings usually come from
Monthly range at $25,000/mo spend
- Idle infrastructure — gateways, load balancers and volumes you pay for and don't use$1,020 – $2,125
- Unused commitments & on-demand pricing$1,050 – $2,188
- Orphaned storage & snapshots$540 – $1,125
- Data transfer & cross-AZ traffic$390 – $813
These categories describe recoverable waste, and the split is typical rather than guaranteed. Your assessment returns the actual split for your account.
Estimate only, for illustration. The range derives from third-party cloud waste research (Flexera 2026 State of the Cloud) and from the AWS accounts we have analysed; category mix is typical, not guaranteed. Not a guarantee of savings.
AWS pricing has hundreds of moving parts — instance families, storage tiers, commitment structures, data transfer rules. If no one on your team owns cloud costs full-time, no one is catching these. That's exactly what the assessment is for.

A note from the founders
We built the infrastructure at AWS. Now we help you stop overpaying for it.
We spent years inside Amazon — as engineers and solutions architects, designing the same services now sitting on your bill. We saw how pricing actually works from the inside: which levers move the number, which "optimizations" are theatre, and how much money quietly leaks out of an account nobody owns full-time.
That's why this assessment is free. We don't need your infrastructure keys to tell you where the waste is — the billing data says it plainly. You get the findings, itemized, with the fixes. What you do with them is up to you.
No aggressive sales reps. You'll only ever speak with a certified AWS architect.
Fit check
Is this assessment right for you?
Here's who gets the most out of it. Either way, you'll get a straight answer and the report is yours to keep.
Do you qualify? 3 quick questions.
0/3
1Are you spending $5K or more per month on AWS?
2Do you have a dedicated, full-time FinOps or cloud-cost team?
3Is your AWS bill growing faster than your usage or revenue?
Answer all three and we'll tell you where you stand — no email required.
A strong fit if…
- Spending roughly $5K–$50K/month on AWS
- No dedicated cloud or FinOps owner in-house
- Bill climbing faster than usage or revenue
- Engineers shipping features, not tuning instance families
Probably not a fit if…
- You're spending under $5,000 a month on AWS
- You already have a dedicated FinOps or cloud operations team with capacity to do this work
- You can't give us access to your billing data in any form
Not sure where you land? — we'll review your estimate and tell you honestly before you grant any access.
