🤯 😭 Ever found yourself staring at AWS Savings Plan options, wondering if you should go all-in upfront, or partial upfront, or play it safe with monthly payments? Our customers couldn't find a tool to make this decision easier, so we built one: https://spconsultant.ai/ CloudFix's Savings Plan Consultant calculator helps you navigate the murky waters of AWS Savings Plans by considering a crucial factor many overlook: the cost of capital. Here's the brief: - Paying more upfront typically saves you up to 10% more. - But locking in funds with AWS might not always be the smartest move. - It all depends on your company's Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC).

Excel?

If you are trying to value a savings plan and decide whether the discounted rate makes sense vs the opportunity cost of locking up the capital, then give this calculator a try!
