Why size Savings Plans after the cleanup?
Commit on today's bill and you lock in the waste. Sherpa sizes Savings Plans on the spend that's left. Your team makes the purchase.

On a $100,000-a-month AWS bill, a 20–30% cut is $20,000–$30,000 a month back to gross margin, without a $155K FinOps hire (estimate). (McKinsey, 2023)

Questions finance leaders ask us.
How do we track realised AWS savings?
Sherpa reports recommended and realised savings for each completed month. Realised savings appear about 30 days after your team acts on a finding.
How much should we commit to Savings Plans?
Sherpa sizes Compute and Database Savings Plans from your hourly spend, and can size them on what you'll spend after the savings you plan to make. Your team makes the purchase.
Can we buy Sherpa through AWS Marketplace?
Yes. You can buy and pay for it through your existing AWS account.
What does the FinOps Assessment cost?
One fixed fee, set by your monthly AWS spend and quoted after a short call. It covers the report and the readout.
Do we need a FinOps team?
No. Sherpa gives the team you already have the findings, a fix plan for each, and a monthly dollar value wherever the saving can be priced, so they know where to start.
