Pricing

A single percentage of verified savings, paid out of the cloud bill first.

Three tiers — Starter, Growth and Enterprise. Three numbers — 8 %, 12 % and 18 %. The share is the only thing that varies. Same audit gate, same artifact, same audit trail. The service is paid only out of savings that survived the post-deploy measurement window.

Percentage of verified savings
No verified savings = no charge
Month-to-month
The short version
Verified savings = the bill actually drops.
The week after a rightsizing PR ships, Tallywyrm re-reads the same workload, the same account and the same time window. The delta that survives the re-read enters the verified pool. The invoice is tier % × the verified pool, and no verified pool = no charge.
Methodology · trust anchor

How we calculate savings

The 8 % / 12 % / 18 % tier reads from the verified pool only — one PR, one deploy timestamp, one measurement window per saving. Full methodology.

The verified-pool gate
Four lines lifted from the methodology pillar
Same wording as /methodology#savings-measurement, so /pricing and /methodology cannot drift.
  • One PR per saving · one deploy timestamp · one measurement window.
  • Forecast and realized are surfaced separately — a forecast cannot pass for a saving.
  • The audit row is sha256-sealed; the weekly CSV is the byte-for-byte projection.
  • What does NOT count as verified, and why — read the boundary in one glance.

01 · The pricing model

tier % × verified savings. Nothing else.

Three sentences that name the model, the gate and the guardrail. The verified pool is the first column; the tier is the second. /methodology names the gate.

The percentage-of-verified-savings model
Three sentences. The model, the gate, the guardrail.
Same wording as the /methodology#savings-measurement pillar bullets.

The invoice is a single percentage of one number: the verified pool. The verified pool is the sum of cents that survived the post-deploy measurement window on the audit row — the same row finance signs off on and the same row the Scope 3 category 1 carbon report reads from.

Pick the tier that matches the size of your verified-savings programme. Share is the only variable that lands on the invoice — same audit gate, same artifact, same audit trail across Starter, Growth and Enterprise. The dollar, the carbon and the PR travel as one.

No verified savings = no charge. Month-to-month, no auto-renewal, no claw-back on a previously sent invoice. If a workload stops producing savings, the share on your next invoice drops to zero the same week.

  1. diff → IaC PR opens

    A rightsizing recommendation becomes a scoped pull request against your Terraform, Pulumi or Crossplane repo. The PR description carries the diff, the rollback command and the forecasted saving.

  2. PR merges and deploy ships

    Your existing review, policy and merge gates own the change — Tallywyrm never holds a merge token and never merges on your behalf. A deploy timestamp attaches to the audit row.

  3. Tallywyrm re-reads the same workload, same account, same time window

    The week after deploy, the agent reads the same workload in the same account over the same time window and compares the post-change bill against the baseline.

  4. The audit tuple is the invoice

    verified_cents = re_read_bill_baseline − re_read_bill_post_change. Only the delta that survived the re-read enters the verified pool for that period; that pool is what the invoice is computed against.

02 · The tier comparison

8 % / 12 % / 18 % — share is the only thing that varies.

Same audit gate, same artifact, same audit trail. Pick the tier that matches the size of your verified-savings programme; the share is the only variable that lands on your invoice.

What's included

The six things every Tallywyrm workspace ships.

The percentage of savings buys you the same playbook across AWS, GCP and Azure — every tier ships these six mission capabilities, with the depth of each scaling to the tier your workspace lives in.

04 · Free / non-included

What does NOT make the invoice.

The boundary a procurement reviewer or auditor will test against the contract. Four exclusions, lifted from the methodology FAQ so the page and the canonical documentation cannot drift.

The exclusions
Nothing below this list enters the verified pool.
Same wording as /methodology#what-counts-as-verified.
  • An unrealised forecast — anything the audit regresses is not certified and is not added to the verified pool for that period.
  • A saving that regresses below the baseline — the credit is removed from the next invoice; there is no claw-back on a previously sent invoice.
  • Savings that fail the re-read entirely — the invoice line for that period drops to zero for those savings.
  • Forecast-only savings surfaced by a native tool — those recommendations have no PR, no deploy and no post-deploy measurement, so they cannot enter the verified pool.

Percentage-of-savings FAQ

How the share, the credit, and tier changes work.

Four short answers — what “verified savings” actually means, why the percentage beats a flat fee, what happens when a recommendation under-delivers, and how to move between tiers mid-cycle.
