ProsperOps
AI powered FinOps automation platform that autonomously optimizes cloud commitments and resources across AWS, Azure, and GCP to maximize Effective Savings Rate while minimizing lock in risk.
About ProsperOps
ProsperOps is an autonomous cloud cost optimization platform founded in 2018 by former Rackspace executives who built one of the world's largest AWS Premier Consulting Partners. The company was acquired by Flexera in January 2026 to become part of a dominant FinOps platform. ProsperOps automates the most complex aspects of cloud financial management, enabling organizations to maximize savings while minimizing the operational burden on FinOps and engineering teams.
The platform operates through two core products: Autonomous Discount Management (ADM) for rate optimization and Autonomous Resource Management (ARM) for workload optimization. ADM continuously manages AWS Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, Azure reservations, and Google Cloud CUDs using AI to adapt commitment portfolios to real time usage changes. Unlike manual approaches or recommendation based tools, ProsperOps executes actual optimization actions including buying, selling, and exchanging commitments 24/7 without human intervention.
ProsperOps introduces sophisticated FinOps metrics including Effective Savings Rate (ESR) and Commitment Lock in Risk (CLR) to quantify optimization outcomes. ESR measures the aggregate discount off on demand rates, providing an objective ROI metric for cost optimization activities. The platform's algorithms analyze workload patterns, volatility, and customer risk tolerance to calculate optimal coverage points, then execute high frequency portfolio adjustments to maintain alignment. This automation handles elastic cloud usage with inelastic commitments, a traditionally challenging FinOps problem.
Key Features
- Autonomous Discount Management: Continuously optimizes cloud commitment portfolios including AWS RIs and Savings Plans, Azure reservations, and Google Cloud CUDs with AI driven automation that executes buy, sell, and exchange actions.
- Effective Savings Rate Optimization: Maximizes ESR, the aggregate discount off on demand rates, through dynamic commitment portfolio management that adapts to usage changes in real time.
- Commitment Lock in Risk Management: Quantifies and minimizes CLR, the financial risk associated with long term cloud commitments, through flexible instruments and automated portfolio rebalancing.
- Autonomous Resource Management: Automates resource scheduling to stop unused resources during off hours, synchronizing workload optimization with rate optimization for holistic savings.
- Intelligent Showback: Provides granular cost allocation and chargeback capabilities with detailed savings attribution across teams, projects, and environments.
- Multi Cloud Support: Unified optimization across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform from a single interface with provider specific optimization strategies.
- Adaptive Laddering: Automatically manages commitment expiration dates and renewal strategies to align with Enterprise Discount Program terms and maximize negotiation leverage.
- FinOps Foundation Certified: Platform designed by FinOps certified practitioners adhering to industry best practices and standards.
Pricing
ProsperOps offers outcome based pricing that aligns vendor compensation with customer savings:
-
Autonomous Discount Management (ADM): Share of savings model Pricing is a percentage of realized savings as determined by the cloud provider billing system, not a percentage of total cloud spend. This ensures the platform pays for itself from generated savings.
-
Autonomous Resource Management (ARM): Flat fee per resource Charged per managed resource per month with native integration into ADM for synchronized optimization. Currently available for AWS Compute ADM customers with Azure and GCP support available upon request.
-
Free Savings Analysis: $0 Quantifies current and historical rate optimization performance with detailed ESR benchmarking against industry peers. Available with minimal IAM permissions and results delivered within 24 hours.
All plans include intelligent showback, commitment dashboards, and detailed savings reporting.

FAQ
How does ProsperOps pricing work?
ProsperOps uses an outcome based pricing model for Autonomous Discount Management (ADM), charging a percentage of realized savings as determined by the cloud provider billing system. This means fees are calculated based on actual savings generated, not total cloud spend. For Autonomous Resource Management (ARM), pricing is a flat fee per managed resource per month.
What is Effective Savings Rate (ESR) and why is it important?
Effective Savings Rate (ESR) is the aggregate discount off the on demand rate for cloud services, calculated as Cloud Savings Generated divided by On Demand Equivalent (ODE) Spend. It is the north star KPI for FinOps adopted by both the FinOps Foundation and AWS. Unlike coverage or utilization metrics alone, ESR provides an objective measure of true savings performance and ROI on cost optimization activities.
How does ProsperOps differ from recommendation based cost optimization tools?
Unlike tools that only provide recommendations requiring manual implementation, ProsperOps is an autonomous platform that executes optimization actions automatically. The platform manages the entire commitment lifecycle including buying, selling, and exchanging Reserved Instances and Savings Plans 24/7 without human intervention, generating actual savings rather than just identifying opportunities.
Can ProsperOps handle volatile or unpredictable cloud usage patterns?
Yes, ProsperOps is specifically designed for dynamic cloud environments. The platform calculates optimal coverage points based on real time workload patterns, volatility, cyclicality, and customer risk tolerance. Using Convertible Reserved Instances and flexible commitment strategies, ProsperOps adapts portfolios to usage changes automatically, maintaining high ESR even in volatile environments where manual management would be impossible.
What cloud providers does ProsperOps support?
ProsperOps supports Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The platform provides unified optimization across all three providers from a single interface, with provider specific optimization strategies for each cloud's unique discount instruments including AWS RIs and Savings Plans, Azure Reservations, and Google Cloud CUDs.
How quickly can I see results with ProsperOps?
Most customers see immediate results upon activation. The free Savings Analysis provides baseline ESR metrics and savings potential within 24 hours of granting read only access. Once Autonomous Discount Management is activated, the platform begins executing optimization actions immediately, with savings typically realized within the first billing cycle. The platform continuously improves ESR over time as the AI learns usage patterns.
