Savings you can point to in the bill.
Arian reads the invoice, allocates every rupee and dollar to the team that spent it, finds the waste down to the meter, and carries each fix through a gate, an approver and the next bill. The saving is the delta the invoice confirms, nothing else.
One bill, reconciled daily.
Arian ingests the provider's own cost export (FOCUS on Azure, the Cost and Usage Report on AWS, the billing export on Google Cloud) and reconciles it against the invoice, so the number on the dashboard is the number finance will see.
- Export-first, with a live tip. Yesterday's export is the record; the query API fills in today and is replaced when the export lands.
- A trust score, not a caveat. Reconciliation variance, freshness and allocation coverage shown beside every total.
- Allocation that names its gaps. Spend-weighted tag coverage, inferred owners you confirm, and a chargeback ledger per team.
Recommendations that carry their evidence.
Rightsizing a VM is table stakes. The waste that matters sits in PaaS, serverless, storage, data pipelines and AI, where each service bills on meters an instance scanner never sees. Arian reads the meter and attaches the proof.
- Meter intelligence. Idle Container Apps, dormant storage, Databricks all-purpose clusters, provisioned RU/s, token spend, NAT processing.
- A dossier per recommendation. Utilisation provenance, blast radius, the policy that applies, your measured realization rate.
- The clouds' advisors folded in. Azure Advisor, Trusted Advisor and the Google recommender arrive as sensors, deduplicated into one list.
Fixes that go through the gate.
Arian's Guardrails tab runs the cost domain of the AIFog catalog: mandatory allocation tags, GPU justification, storage tiering and the rest. Autopilot drafts the fix, the gate scores it, a named approver confirms, and the saving is measured, not assumed.
- Cost guardrails. Monitor on Free and Team, enforce on Business, with a waiver path on every block.
- Approvals with typed confirmation. From the app or from Slack, by a role that is allowed to, never the requester.
- Real, reversible execution. Snapshot before delete, rollback hint recorded, change pushed to your ITSM first.
What is in Arian.
Inform
Spend, allocation, chargeback, budgets, anomalies, reconciliation and the data trust score. Kubernetes and Databricks cost included.
Optimize
Meter-level recommendations, commitments and rate planning, schedules for shutdown and start, and the bill analyzer.
Operate and Guardrails
Approvals, reports, tag governance with gated backfill, and the cost domain of the guardrail catalog in monitor or enforce.
Autopilot for cost
Draft, gate, approve, execute, verify. Change control over every action with a hash-chained ledger and ITSM push.
Intelligence
Copilot grounded in your data, investigations and briefings, with headline figures from a reviewed metric layer rather than improvised SQL.
Control
Connections, roles, API keys, notification channels for Slack, Teams, Jira and ServiceNow, and the organisation's billing in INR or USD.
Four states. Never blended.
A recommendation records a 30-day baseline for the resource. After the fix, the next invoice is reconciled against it and the difference is recorded as measured. Until then it is pending. A saving that cannot be measured says unmeasured. Simulated figures from what-if analysis are kept apart and never added to realized.
- Measured. Confirmed in the invoice, with the baseline and the after window shown.
- Pending. Executed, waiting for the invoice that will confirm it.
- Unmeasured and simulated. Labelled, counted separately, never in the headline.
Your clouds, your data platforms, your tools.
One outcome: a saving measured in your bill.
Business access for 90 days with execution withheld. Autopilot drafts, gates and records your approvals; your team applies the fixes with Arian's plan, and Arian measures them.
Connect and reconcile
A reader role and the billing export. By the end of the week you have one reconciled number, allocated, with a trust score and the coverage gaps named.
Recommend and approve
Recommendations arrive with their dossier. Your approver confirms the first fix with a typed confirmation and the change record lands in your ITSM.
Measure
The next invoice confirms the delta and Arian records it as measured. Or you walk away with nothing owed; the workspace moves to Free and keeps what it found.
Free to see. Paid to act.
Free covers Inform, budgets and anomalies for three seats, for good. The paid plans add Optimize, Guardrails, Autopilot and Copilot, at a price we agree with you after a free 90-day evaluation.

Start the proof of value
Connect one cloud read-only. The clock starts when it connects, and the goal is a saving you can point to in the bill.
Add Ayra for the gate
Block risky changes before they exist, with waivers and a ledger. Both products on one organisation unlock the cost and risk graph, the unified gate and shared Autopilot, and we price them together.
