Pricing

Simple Pricing. Guaranteed Net Savings.

Our fee is 10% of the savings we verify. No retainer, no long-term contract, and the 20% guarantee is measured after our fee: if your all-in bill isn't at least 20% lower, you pay nothing.

How pricing works

  1. Free teardown. 15 minutes. We size your avoidable spend from a usage export. You keep the findings either way.
  2. Go live in one day. You change one base URL; we switch on the optimizations.
  3. Measure. We compare your all-in cost per equivalent request with the agreed baseline, typically over 14 days. See the savings methodology.
  4. Our fee. 10% of the savings we verify, calculated on each month's verified savings for the term in your agreement. No retainer, no long-term contract.
  5. The guarantee. If your all-in bill, meaning provider charges plus our fee, isn't at least 20% lower, you pay us nothing. Charges you've already paid to model providers aren't refunded.

Net savings calculator

Your provider bill goes down, our 10% comes out of the saving, and what you keep must still be at least 20% of your original bill.
