Finance
A flat fee. Never a cut of your savings.
The budget holder who signs off on the bill and the forecast underneath it. A three-year commitment is easy to approve and hard to reverse, and a vendor paid a share of the savings has no reason to keep that number small.
The budget holder who signs off on the bill and the forecast underneath it.
- You need the payback period before you approve a new line item
- A vendor paid a percentage of your savings profits most when your bill is worst
- You want to model the cost before anyone connects an AWS account
Where this role gets blindsided
Same role, same three blind spots.
The leak
A tool priced as a percentage of savings
A vendor paid a share of what it finds has no reason to keep that number small. The incentive runs the wrong way for whoever is footing the bill.
What Reserver does
One flat price, every tier. Watch, Autopilot, and Scale each charge a flat monthly fee. The bill doesn't move when the savings do.
The leak
A commitment you can't model in advance
A three-year reservation is easy to approve and hard to reverse. Without the payback math in front of you first, it's a guess dressed up as a decision.
What Reserver does
The math shown, not summarized. The Business Case builder lays out the situation, the cost, and the payback period from typed-in numbers, not a rounded claim.
The leak
A surprise on next month's bill
A renewal that lapses quietly reverts to the on-demand rate, and the first anyone hears of it is the invoice.
What Reserver does
Priced before it happens. The cost of a missed renewal is shown in dollars ahead of time, so it lands as a forecast line, not a surprise.
A lapsed renewal reverts to the on-demand rate with no warning label on the bill it lands on.
On a mid-size fleet, a renewal missed by 14 days runs about $951. A single prevented miss pays for about 6 months of Reserver.
Objections
Straight answers for finance
Does Reserver take a percentage of what it saves us?
No. Every plan is a flat monthly fee, whether Reserver finds a small saving or a large one.
Can I see the numbers before we connect an account?
Yes. The Business Case builder and the savings calculator both run on a typed-in fleet size, not a live connection, so the math is visible before any commitment.
What does a missed renewal actually cost us?
It reverts the covered usage to the on-demand rate for as long as the lapse lasts. The Business Case builder prices that gap from your own numbers instead of a generic estimate.
