How to Reduce Your AWS Bill Through AWS Marketplace

If your company runs workloads on AWS, there are two levers that can immediately reduce your bill: Reserved Instances and Savings Plans. AWS offers discounts of up to 30% on compute costs through these commitment-based pricing models — but most companies avoid them because they require locking in for 1 or 3 years.

That's where Frust comes in. And the easiest way to get started is directly through AWS Marketplace.

Why AWS Marketplace?

AWS Marketplace is a digital catalog of software and services that run on AWS. Buying through Marketplace has several advantages over a direct vendor relationship:

• Consolidated billing — charges appear on your existing AWS bill, no new payment method or vendor invoice
• No new contracts — your procurement team has already approved AWS as a vendor; Marketplace purchases inherit that approval
• Private offers — Frust sends you a custom offer with your negotiated rate directly to your AWS account ID
• Counts toward AWS commit — Marketplace spend counts toward your AWS Enterprise Discount Program (EDP) or Private Pricing Agreement (PPA) commitment

How Frust Works Through Marketplace

1. You visit the Frust listing on AWS Marketplace or receive a private offer link
2. Accept the offer — takes under 2 minutes, no credit card needed
3. You deploy a read-only CloudFormation stack in your AWS account (10 minutes)
4. Frust analyzes your usage via AWS Cost Explorer
5. Within 48 hours you receive a concrete savings estimate
6. Frust purchases Reserved Instances and Savings Plans on its own accounts — your bill drops in the next cycle
7. You pay Frust a 20% success fee on savings generated, billed monthly through Marketplace

What Does It Cost?

Frust uses a success-based model: you pay 20% of the savings Frust generates on your AWS bill. If Frust does not save you money in a given month, there is no charge. There is no upfront fee, no minimum commitment, and you can cancel anytime.

Example: if your AWS bill is $10,000/month and Frust reduces it by 25% ($2,500 saved), you pay Frust $500 — your net saving is $2,000/month.

What Access Does Frust Need?

Frust only requires read-only IAM permissions scoped to AWS Cost Explorer and billing metadata. It never accesses your workloads, source code, databases, or application data. The CloudFormation stack can be deleted from your AWS console at any time.

Is It Available in My Country?

Yes. Frust operates across Latin America and the United States — including Chile, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, and Argentina. All billing is handled through AWS Marketplace in USD.
