Pricing
Flat price. Never a cut of your savings.
Percentage-of-savings pricing means your vendor does best when your bill is worst. We just charge for the software. The savings are yours.
Built for your size
Every fleet leaks money differently.
Pick the situation closest to yours. The leak, the fix, and what it's worth are the same conservative math the calculator below runs against your own account.
What it costs you at this size
One renewal missed over a long weekend snaps your busiest database back to list price. Nobody owns the calendar.
What Reserver does
Watch tells you before it lapses. You click buy.
A renewal missed by 14 days ≈ $92. A single prevented miss pays for about 3 weeks of Reserver.
Free, forever, and it already surfaces real, spendable savings on a small, steady fleet.
What it costs you at this size
Coverage quietly drifts between monthly reviews; expiries slip by days and bill at on-demand in the gap.
What Reserver does
Autopilot re-buys renewals on your terms and reserves anything that's clearly staying, one flat price.
A renewal missed by 14 days ≈ $951. A single prevented miss pays for about 6 months of Reserver.
A single slipped renewal can outweigh months of what Autopilot costs.
What it costs you at this size
Reservations fall through the seams between accounts and teams. No one has one coverage view.
What Reserver does
One org-wide view, SSO/SAML, and custom approval chains. Same flat software price, never a cut of savings.
A renewal missed by 14 days ≈ $6,904. A single prevented miss pays for a year or more of Reserver.
Coverage at any scale, priced the same whether you track dozens of reservations or thousands.
Unlimited reservations on every plan. Priced by accounts and automation, never by what you save.
A Growth-size fleet tracked by hand costs about 39 hours a year, worth about $3,705 at a fully loaded rate. That's about 2× what Autopilot costs a year.

The percentage tax
A cut of your savings is still a bill that grows.
Percentage-of-savings tools charge more the better your fleet does. Reserver's own fee is a sliver of what it finds: free on Watch, a few percent on Autopilot, and well under 1% of savings once a fleet reaches Scale. A percentage-of-savings vendor at the same size typically takes 25%.
Startup
1–10 reservations · a single account
Flat pricing keeps $2,633/yr in your pocket instead.
Growth
dozens of reservations · a few accounts
Flat pricing keeps $24,537/yr in your pocket instead.
Enterprise
hundreds to thousands · many AWS accounts & orgs
Flat pricing keeps $257,262/yr in your pocket instead.
These figures are illustrative. Savings use the same conservative model as the calculator, and the %-of-savings figure assumes a typical 25% rate. Reserver is a flat price and never takes a cut.

What's it worth
Spend a little. Miss nothing.
Pick your size, or drag the slider to your own AWS compute spend. It's the same conservative math Reserver runs against your account, not a best case.
A renewal missed by 14 days on one reservation ≈ $951. A single prevented miss pays for about 6 months of Reserver.
Carry these numbers to the waitlist →Carries only the totals shown above — never reservation IDs, ARNs, or account details. Nothing leaves your browser until you submit.
Estimates. Actual savings depend on instance class, term, payment option, and how much of your fleet is steady. Reserver shows the exact math for your account.
Questions
Fair questions, straight answers.
Do you take a percentage of my savings?
No, never. Reserver is a flat price, billed monthly or annually. Percentage-of-savings pricing means your vendor profits most when your bill was worst. We'd rather just charge for the software.
Does Reserver need write access to my AWS account?
Not to watch. The Watch plan uses a read-only IAM role limited to Describe/List calls for RDS, ElastiCache, and EC2. Purchasing on Autopilot uses a separate, tightly-scoped role that can buy reservations and nothing else. It cannot touch your workloads, data, or networking. More in our security model.
Can Reserver buy reservations for me today?
Not yet. Reserver already finds the recommendation and shows the math. It does not execute the purchase today. Reserver is still building one-click purchasing, renewal autopilot, scheduled purchases, and age-based rules. We ship the read-only product well first, on purpose. See what is live and what is next on the roadmap.
Which AWS services are covered?
Reserved Instances for Amazon RDS, ElastiCache, and EC2 at launch. Savings Plans, OpenSearch, Redshift, and other reservable services are on the roadmap.
What happens when a reservation I own expires?
Reserver tracks every reservation's end date. On Watch you get notified ahead of time with a renewal recommendation. On Autopilot, renewal purchases can happen automatically under the policy you set.
We already use Cost Explorer's recommendations. Why Reserver?
Cost Explorer tells you a number and leaves you to reconcile it across three consoles. Reserver matches every reservation to a running instance, shows its work, flags the gaps and expiries, and then makes the purchase a button, or a rule.
I only have a handful of reservations, is Reserver worth it?
Usually, yes. Even a single reservation renewed a couple of weeks late typically costs more than a year of Reserver. Watch is free, forever. Autopilot is a flat $149 a month, or $1,490 billed once a year, whether you're tracking ten reservations or ten thousand. Small fleets get the same coverage map and expiry radar as anyone else.
We run many AWS accounts. Does Reserver scale to that?
Yes, that's what Scale is for. Connect every account you run and see them all in one coverage map, for one flat $499 a month, or $4,990 billed once a year, covering every account. You connect each account individually today. We are still building one-stack AWS Organizations enumeration, SSO/SAML, and custom approval chains. Check the roadmap before you plan around them. Need an MSA, security review, or SLA on top of that? Enterprise handles the paperwork. Support for other clouds and AWS Savings Plans is on the roadmap, not shipping today.
Is Watch really free forever, or is that an early-access price?
Forever. Watch covers one AWS account, unlimited reservations, and the full coverage map and expiry radar. It's not a trial and not a promotion that expires. You only pay if you outgrow it and want automated purchasing across more accounts.
Do you charge per reservation, or per instance?
No. Every Reserver plan covers unlimited reservations, from one to tens of thousands. Pricing scales with connected AWS accounts and automation depth, never with how many reservations you have or how much you save.
What happens to our price when we connect more AWS accounts?
Nothing changes until you cross a plan's account limit. Watch covers 1 account, Autopilot up to 5, and Scale covers an unlimited number for one flat $499 a month, or $4,990 billed once a year. You add each account yourself today, and one-stack AWS Organizations enumeration is on the roadmap. No per-account surcharge, no renegotiation.
Why is Enterprise still a custom quote instead of a published price?
Because it isn't a bigger version of Scale. It's Scale plus the paperwork some procurement teams require before anyone connects an account: a master service agreement, a security review, an SLA with a named contact, and private commercial terms. Those vary enough by customer that a single number would either overcharge most of them or undercharge the rest.
Does Reserver work with Azure or Google Cloud?
Not today. Reserver covers Reserved Instances for Amazon RDS, ElastiCache, and EC2, with Azure and Google Cloud on the roadmap, not shipping. It matters more than it might seem: Azure reservations auto-renew by default and Google Cloud's resource-based CUDs are opt-in, while AWS has no auto-renewal at all. A habit learned on either of the other two clouds is exactly backwards on AWS. See our multi-cloud renewal comparison for the vendor-sourced breakdown.
How much time does this actually save?
A Growth-size fleet spends about 39 hours a year tracking reservations by hand. That's $3,705 at a fully loaded rate, split across quarterly reviews, cross-account reconciliation, and purchase decisions. That's about 2× what Autopilot costs a year. Reserver reclaims most of that time. Somebody still approves the purchases.
Should I buy a 1-year or a 3-year reservation?
A 3-year term usually discounts more than a 1-year term. It also locks you in three times as long. AWS never cancels a Reserved Instance early: buy a 3-year term and stop the instance after 14 months, and you still pay for all 36. Run the numbers for your own instance type and horizon with the free Term Check tool.
Should I pay All Upfront, Partial Upfront, or No Upfront?
All Upfront pays the whole term at purchase and reaches the deepest discount. No Upfront pays nothing at purchase and reaches the shallowest discount. Partial Upfront splits the two. Every option locks in the same non-cancellable term, so the choice is about cash flow, not risk.
Stop overpaying for a steady fleet.
