Cat 1 cloud emissions — audit-ready exportScope 3

No agents, credentials never sharedRead-only

No stake in the answer

When staying on your own servers is cheaper, the report says that too.

No cloud vendor, and no tool owned by one, will put that in writing.

CloudRift takes $0 from cloud vendors and never prices as a percentage of your spend — flat tiers, so the only way it grows is by being worth it. Most tools in this market earn more when you overspend.

For MSPs & IT consultants

Every client gets an advisor on their side of the bill.

Your clients' cloud vendors won't flag their waste. You will. CloudRift gives MSPs one command centre for every client's cost, governance, and carbon — with white-label reports that carry your brand.

Multi-Tenant Dashboard

Single pane of glass across all client environments. Spend, health score, governance status — every client at a glance.

White-Label Client Reports

One-click PDF reports carrying your brand, not ours. Cost savings, governance score, carbon footprint. Drop it in any board deck.

Send Reports to Clients

Email a full optimization report directly to any client from within CloudRift. Monthly accountability, zero effort.

CSP Markup Engine

Apply custom markup percentages per client. Bill at your rate, CloudRift handles the math.

Pilot Mode

Onboard pilot clients with free Enterprise access. Convert them when the value is obvious.

Azure DevOps Integration

Push governance findings directly to Azure DevOps work items. Keep clients' engineers on their existing workflow.

MSP Plan — $799/mo for up to 15 client tenants

$49/mo per additional tenant. Replace 15 cloud portal logins with one dashboard.

Cost and carbon, one scan

When a customer's emissions questionnaire lands, have the number ready.

California SB 253 makes $1B+ companies report Scope 3 emissions starting with 2027 data — and your cloud usage is their Scope 3 Category 1. So the supplier questionnaire flows down to you, regulated or not. CloudRift turns your AWS, Azure, and GCP usage into an audit-ready Scope 3 Category 1 report with the methodology attached — and because emissions track waste, every fix is a dual win: dollars saved + CO₂ eliminated.

GHG Protocol Scope 3 Cat 1

Operational + embodied, location- and market-based. One-click export with a methodology note.

Multi-cloud, real grid data

AWS, Azure & GCP regions — Sweden (0.008 kg/kWh) to South Africa (0.900). No self-graded vendor numbers.

Linked to every action

"Delete this VM: saves $140/mo + 0.8 metric tons CO₂/yr (≈ 4,300 miles driven)"

Measured results

Running in production today.

CloudRift runs across an independent consulting practice's client base. These are real Azure tenants, same workloads before and after.

43% cut

Mid-size Azure tenant: $15,000/mo down to $8,500/mo. No workload removed.

50% cut

Smaller Azure tenant: $6,000/mo down to $3,000/mo. No re-architecture, no new hires.

$114k/yr

Annualized run-rate savings across just these two tenants — roughly $9,500 every month.

Figures from CloudRift's own deployment records, September 2026. Savings depend on how much waste your estate actually has — the free scan tells you before you pay anything.

First, it finds everything.

One read-only connection across Azure and AWS (GCP in beta), plus on-prem SQL Server. Every finding arrives with its evidence and the invoice line it touches.

Waste findings, with evidence

"CPU avg 6.2% for 30 days on a $372/mo VM." Every finding carries its proof — real utilization data from Azure Monitor and CloudWatch, not guesses.

Orphans, idle, and forgotten

Unattached disks. Unused IPs. VMs nobody has touched in months. The infrastructure version of the subscription you forgot to cancel.

Advisor gap reports

What CloudRift found that your cloud's own advisor didn't. Side by side, on your real data. Bring it to the renewal call.

On-prem SQL Server collector

Your estate isn't only cloud. A read-only collector inventories your on-prem SQL Servers, so the picture is complete.

Stay-or-go placement math

What each workload costs where it runs — and what it would cost anywhere else, your own servers included. The report follows the math.

Invoice reconciliation

Findings are checked against the invoice you actually pay, not a public rate card. Discounts, credits, and commitments included.

Then, it keeps waste from coming back.

Waste isn't a one-time find. CloudRift watches for drift, keeps your commitments honest, and keeps the board number current — month after month.

Drift alerts & guardrails

When spend drifts from plan, you hear it before the month closes — not after. Budget breach alerts fire while there's still time to act.

Commitments, kept honest

Reservation and savings-plan sizing from your measured usage floor, priced with real rates — you approve every purchase. Coverage and your Effective Savings Rate, tracked against real invoices.

The monthly board report

One number, always current: what you spend, what you waste, what changed. Built for the meeting, not the console.

Governance & identity, kept fresh

CIS, Zero Trust, and CAF checks re-run automatically — 35+ controls. Plus inactive users holding licenses, MFA gaps, and conditional access blind spots.

Carbon posture, kept fresh

GHG Protocol Scope 3 Category 1 estimates per resource, methodology attached. Ready before the customer questionnaire lands.

IaC Studio — start clean — new

Describe what you need. CloudRift generates a reviewed, right-sized Bicep starting point for Azure — you approve it before anything deploys. Waste prevented, not just found.

It proposes. You approve.

You get the receipt. Autopilot runs weekly and finds low-risk savings. It sends an approval digest — maker-checker, built in — and executes on your OK, or after a timeout you set. Then comes the receipt: dollars saved, CO₂ avoided.

  1. Weekly scan

    Analyzes your resources, finds low-risk savings

  2. Approval digest

    Every action listed with savings + CO₂ impact, awaiting your OK

  3. Execute & receipt

    Runs approved actions, sends you the savings receipt

Built for the agent era

Your AI agents can read every number on this page.

Public read-only API

Scoped, revocable keys over /v1 — costs, resources, recommendations, savings receipts.

MCP server on PyPI

Open-source cloudrift-mcp lets Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP agent query your estate.

Azure DevOps push

Governance findings land as work items in the backlog your engineers already run.

FOCUS billing imports

Ingest FinOps-Foundation-format billing exports to verify savings against the real invoice.

Built for the agent era — the full story

Why I built CloudRift

I ran cloud for clients for years, and the same thing happened every month: money quietly leaking on idle VMs and orphaned disks, governance gaps nobody had time to chase, and a board asking about carbon. I built CloudRift to surface all of it in one read-only scan — the tool I wished I'd had.

Questions, answered

What is cloud cost optimization? Cloud cost optimization is the practice of finding and removing wasted spend in Azure, AWS, and other clouds — idle VMs, orphaned disks, oversized resources, and unused licenses — while keeping performance intact. CloudRift automates this with a read-only scan that surfaces every wasted dollar in under 10 minutes.

How does CloudRift reduce Azure and AWS costs? CloudRift connects read-only to your Azure or AWS account, analyzes real utilization from Azure Monitor and CloudWatch, and recommends specific actions: delete orphaned resources, rightsize underused VMs, buy reserved instances, and schedule non-production workloads. Most teams find 30–40% of their cloud spend is recoverable waste.

Does CloudRift work for MSPs managing multiple client tenants? Yes. CloudRift gives managed service providers a single multi-tenant dashboard across every client's Azure and AWS environment, with branded client reports and a CSP markup engine so MSPs can bill at their own rate and protect margin.

Can CloudRift control AI and LLM API costs? Yes. CloudRift's AI Governor tracks per-model LLM spend and lets you set daily circuit breakers that cap runaway AI costs — the control that stops a single agent loop from burning tens of thousands of dollars over a weekend.

Is CloudRift really read-only? What happens when I approve a fix? CloudRift scans with read-only credentials by default — no agents, nothing installed, nothing changed. When you choose to act on a finding, Autopilot executes only actions you explicitly approve, and that execution path requires a separately granted role. Analysis never needs write access.

Does CloudRift report cloud carbon emissions? Yes. CloudRift reports your cloud usage as GHG Protocol Scope 3 Category 1 emissions — the category purchased cloud services belong to in your company's GHG inventory — computed from real resource utilization with location-based regional grid intensity data. It produces an audit-ready, board-ready report and links every cost optimization to the CO₂ it eliminates.
