Parsivex โ AWS cost control for startups
Parsivex helps small AWS teams find cloud waste and keep it from coming back. Connect with a read-only IAM role, run a free scan, and see how much you're spending on idle EC2, unattached EBS, oversized RDS, stale snapshots, NAT gateway overuse, and dozens of other waste patterns โ with a total dollar figure and a category breakdown.
Monitoring is the product. The free scan is a one-time snapshot. Paid plans add:
Who it's for: startups and small engineering teams running primarily on AWS who don't have someone dedicated to cloud cost. It's not a replacement for enterprise FinOps platforms or multi-cloud observability โ Parsivex is opinionated about doing one job well for a small AWS footprint.
Setup takes about 10 minutes: create an account, follow the guided IAM role setup (CloudFormation or Terraform), and run your first scan. No credit card for the free scan.
Pricing: Freemium โ free one-time scan, plus paid Monitoring and Team plans.

Parsivex's answer:
Most AWS cost tools stop at a one-time report. Parsivex is built around continuous monitoring: after the free scan it keeps watching - scheduled re-scans compare findings month over month and daily anomaly checks catch spend spikes against a rolling baseline, so waste that creeps back gets caught before the next invoice. It's opinionated about doing one job well for a small AWS footprint, with 24+ waste detectors and plain-English fixes that don't need a FinOps team.
Parsivex's answer:
Startups and small engineering teams that run primarily on AWS and don't have someone dedicated to cloud cost. Typically Seed to Series A companies with a growing AWS bill, where engineers own infrastructure spend directly and need cost control that's automatic rather than a full-time job.
Parsivex's answer:
Parsivex started from a simple observation: small teams find cloud waste once - usually in a panic after a surprising bill - fix a few things, and then watch the waste slowly come back because nobody's looking. The free scan answers "how much am I wasting right now?", but the real product is what happens after: continuous monitoring that keeps the answer honest over time.
Parsivex's answer:
Enterprise cloud cost platforms are heavy, multi-cloud, and priced for teams with a dedicated FinOps function. Parsivex is the opposite: AWS-only, up and running in about ten minutes with a read-only IAM role, and focused on startups and small engineering teams who pay their own bill. You get a free scan to see what's wasted today, and monitoring that keeps working so waste doesn't quietly return โ without the setup and cost of a full cost-management suite.
