AWS cost savings · evidence-first
Most cost tools tell you how much you spent. IdleLens tells you which resource to clean up next, and cites the CloudWatch datapoint or structural fact behind every finding. Read-only IAM, 16 resource types, a ranked cleanup queue with confidence labels. Your first scan is free; recurring plans start at $9/mo when you want continuous monitoring.

01 / What drives the bill
Idle resources keep billing whether or not anything uses them. These are the line items IdleLens surfaces with evidence, not a guess.
Provisioned, billed, attached to nothing.
Hourly charge with zero bytes processed.
ALB/NLB with no requests over the window.
No connections, or stopped instances still billing storage.
Real-time endpoints with zero invocations.
Unattached public IPv4 — now billed per address.
Snapshots of deleted volumes, no AMI reference.
Pre-warmed capacity nothing invokes.
02 / Three steps
Setup uses infrastructure you can inspect. Every cleanup decision stays in your console.

Scan
The scanner walks your account in 5 to 10 minutes across 16 resource types and the regions you select. Each finding carries cost, confidence, evidence, and a suggested next action.

03 / FAQ
How IdleLens reduces the bill, how it differs from AWS-native tools, and what it costs.
Your move
Read-only IAM. No card upfront. You see findings before you pay.
It finds resources you are billed for but no longer use: unattached EBS volumes, idle NAT gateways, zero-traffic load balancers, idle RDS and SageMaker endpoints. It hands you a ranked, evidence-backed cleanup queue. You execute the cleanup in your own console.
Cost Explorer shows aggregate spend. Trusted Advisor and Compute Optimizer flag some idle resources. None of them cites evidence per finding, carries your tag policy, or gives engineers a triage workflow. IdleLens sits between cost visibility and the engineer who owns the resource.
The IAM role you deploy is read-only. The scanner source contains zero Delete*, Stop*, Terminate*, Update*, or Put* API calls. CI fails the build if any land.
Your first scan is free. Recurring plans start at $9/mo (Standard $9 / Premium $39 / Enterprise $99), with Premium and Enterprise tiers for multi-account and team workflow. No credit card upfront, cancel anytime.
