Read-only AWS waste scanner
Your AWS bill has blind spots. We find the ones worth fixing.
IdleLens turns AWS usage signals into evidence-backed cost actions. No vague score. No automatic changes. Just the resource, the proof, the risk, and the next move.
- Read-only IAM
- No card upfront
- First scan in 10-15 min
01 / Connect
From AWS account to reviewable findings in three controlled steps.
Setup uses infrastructure you can inspect. The scanner reads signals, produces a report, and leaves every change decision with your team.
Connect AWS
Deploy one read-only CloudFormation stack.
The role uses an External ID and grants analysis access, not resource mutation.
AWS::IAM::RoleIdleLensScannerReadOnlyAccess + External ID
Review report
Scan, verify evidence, and choose what to act on.
Most first scans complete in 10-15 minutes. No resource is changed automatically.
02 / Evidence model
A recommendation is only useful when the proof travels with it.
Select a sample finding to inspect the evidence chain. Values below are illustrative; your report is built from your account's actual AWS signals across 16 resource types.

03 / Security
You grant access you can inspect, and revoke in one step.
The scanner analyzes; it never mutates. Everything below is enforced in the code, not just promised in copy.
- Read-only IAM role
The scanner source contains zero
Delete*,Stop*,Terminate*,Update*, orPut*calls. It reads utilization signals, tags, and pricing inputs, nothing else. - Your CloudFormation, your External ID
You deploy and inspect the exact stack before it runs, scoped by an External ID. Delete the stack and access ends immediately.
- No long-lived credentials stored
IdleLens assumes your role over STS at scan time. There are no access keys of yours sitting in our database.
- Findings stay in your workspace
Scan results are isolated to your organization. Export or delete them whenever you want.
04 / Pricing
Prove the savings first. Talk about payment second.
Connect a read-only role and review the evidence report before you pay anything. Recurring monitoring is a subscription; the first scan is not.

Read-only role. No card upfront. No automatic changes.
Does IdleLens make changes in my AWS account?
No. IdleLens analyzes through a read-only IAM role. It recommends actions; your team decides and executes them. The scanner source contains zero Delete*, Stop*, Terminate*, Update*, or Put* calls.
What makes a finding "high confidence"?
A strong combination of state, utilization history, cost data, and low observed dependency risk. The supporting signals are shown with the finding.
Why not just use AWS Cost Explorer?
Cost Explorer is useful for spend analysis. IdleLens focuses on turning resource-level waste signals into a prioritised, reviewable action list with evidence.
What does the free first scan include?
One read-only scan across 16 AWS resource types, with top findings, confidence labels, and the evidence behind each one. No credit card upfront. Recurring monitoring is paid, from $9/mo.
