MSP Plan — $299/mo for up to 10 client tenants
$25/mo per additional tenant. Replace 10 cloud portal logins with one dashboard.
Measured results
CloudRift runs across an independent consulting practice's client base. These are real Azure tenants, same workloads before and after.
43% cut
Mid-size Azure tenant: $15,000/mo down to $8,500/mo. No workload removed.
50% cut
Smaller Azure tenant: $6,000/mo down to $3,000/mo. No re-architecture, no new hires.
$114k/yr
Annualized run-rate savings across just these two tenants — roughly $9,500 every month.
Figures from CloudRift's own deployment records, September 2026. Savings depend on how much waste your estate actually has — the free scan tells you before you pay anything.
What CloudRift does
One read-only connection across Azure and AWS (GCP in beta), plus on-prem SQL Server. Every finding arrives with its evidence and the invoice line it touches.
"CPU avg 6.2% for 30 days on a $372/mo VM." Every finding carries its proof — real utilization data from Azure Monitor and CloudWatch, not guesses.
Unattached disks. Unused IPs. VMs nobody has touched in months. The infrastructure version of the subscription you forgot to cancel.
What CloudRift found that your cloud's own advisor didn't. Side by side, on your real data. Bring it to the renewal call.
Your estate isn't only cloud. A read-only collector inventories your on-prem SQL Servers, so the picture is complete.
What each workload costs where it runs — and what it would cost anywhere else, your own servers included. The report follows the math.
Findings are checked against the invoice you actually pay, not a public rate card. Discounts, credits, and commitments included.
Waste isn't a one-time find. CloudRift watches for drift, keeps your commitments honest, and keeps the board number current — month after month.
When spend drifts from plan, you hear it before the month closes — not after. Budget breach alerts fire while there's still time to act.
Reservations and savings plans tracked against your real invoices. Coverage gaps and quiet lapses surface before they cost you.
One number, always current: what you spend, what you waste, what changed. Built for the meeting, not the console.
CIS, Zero Trust, and CAF checks re-run automatically — 35+ controls. Plus inactive users holding licenses, MFA gaps, and conditional access blind spots.
GHG Protocol Scope 3 Category 1 estimates per resource, methodology attached. Ready before the customer questionnaire lands.
Describe what you need. CloudRift generates a reviewed, right-sized Bicep starting point for Azure — you approve it before anything deploys. Waste prevented, not just found.
No stake in the answer
No cloud vendor, and no tool owned by one, will put that in writing.
Autopilot runs weekly and finds low-risk savings. It sends an approval digest — maker-checker, built in — and executes on your OK, or after a timeout you set. Then comes the receipt: dollars saved, CO₂ avoided.
Weekly scan
Analyzes your resources, finds low-risk savings
Approval digest
Every action listed with savings + CO₂ impact, awaiting your OK
Execute & receipt
Runs approved actions, sends you the savings receipt
California SB 253 makes $1B+ companies report Scope 3 emissions starting with 2027 data — and your cloud usage is their Scope 3 Category 1. So the supplier questionnaire flows down to you, regulated or not. CloudRift turns your AWS, Azure, and GCP usage into an audit-ready Scope 3 Category 1 report with the methodology attached — and because emissions track waste, every fix is a dual win: dollars saved + CO₂ eliminated.
GHG Protocol Scope 3 Cat 1
Operational + embodied, location- and market-based. One-click export with a methodology note.
Multi-cloud, real grid data
AWS, Azure & GCP regions — Sweden (0.008 kg/kWh) to South Africa (0.900). No self-graded vendor numbers.
Linked to every action
"Delete this VM: saves $140/mo + 0.8 metric tons CO₂/yr (≈ 4,300 miles driven)"
Why I built CloudRift
I ran cloud for clients for years, and the same thing happened every month: money quietly leaking on idle VMs and orphaned disks, governance gaps nobody had time to chase, and a board asking about carbon. I built CloudRift to surface all of it in one read-only scan — the tool I wished I'd had.

Questions, answered
Cloud cost optimization is the practice of finding and removing wasted spend in Azure, AWS, and other clouds — idle VMs, orphaned disks, oversized resources, and unused licenses — while keeping performance intact. CloudRift automates this with a read-only scan that surfaces every wasted dollar in under 10 minutes.
CloudRift connects read-only to your Azure or AWS account, analyzes real utilization from Azure Monitor and CloudWatch, and recommends specific actions: delete orphaned resources, rightsize underused VMs, buy reserved instances, and schedule non-production workloads. Most teams find 30–40% of their cloud spend is recoverable waste.
Yes. CloudRift gives managed service providers a single multi-tenant dashboard across every client's Azure and AWS environment, with branded client reports and a CSP markup engine so MSPs can bill at their own rate and protect margin.
Yes. CloudRift's AI Governor tracks per-model LLM spend and lets you set daily circuit breakers that cap runaway AI costs — the control that stops a single agent loop from burning tens of thousands of dollars over a weekend.
CloudRift scans with read-only credentials by default — no agents, nothing installed, nothing changed. When you choose to act on a finding, Autopilot executes only actions you explicitly approve, and that execution path requires a separately granted role. Analysis never needs write access.
Yes. CloudRift reports your cloud usage as GHG Protocol Scope 3 Category 1 emissions — the category purchased cloud services belong to in your company's GHG inventory — computed from real resource utilization with location-based regional grid intensity data. It produces an audit-ready, board-ready report and links every cost optimization to the CO₂ it eliminates.
Mission-driven organizations run real cloud bills with no budget to spare. If you're a registered nonprofit or NGO, we'll give you CloudRift free — find the waste, cut the cost, and put more of every donated dollar toward your cause. Cutting that waste cuts carbon, too.
Connect Azure, AWS, or GCP read-only and run your first scan. First findings in minutes, each with its evidence. And if staying put is the cheaper answer, the report will say so.
