​
Your AWS billing remains unchanged

You continue to pay AWS directly for all your cloud usage, as you normally would. Our service operates alongside your existing AWS billing relationship.

​
Performance-based billing

  • Our fee is 20% of the savings you realize by using MilkStraw AI.
  • These savings are determined monthly based on the performance of the we send to your AWS organization.
  • We fetch the savings from the Cost Explorer API to get the total savings and from it we calculate our fee.
  • There are no charges for onboarding, initial system analysis, or ongoing support.

​
Example calculation

Let’s say your current AWS bill is $10,000/month. After using MilkStraw AI:
  1. New AWS bill: $7,000/month
  2. Total savings: $3,000/month
  3. MilkStraw AI fee (20%): $600/month
  4. Your net savings: $2,400/month
You keep 80% of all savings while we handle the optimization work.

​
Billing cycle

  • A monthly bill for the MilkStraw AI service fee is issued separately for each account.
  • Billing occurs after your AWS bill is issued, typically in the first week of every month.
  • You can review your MilkStraw AI billing history and invoices directly within the MilkStraw AI billing page in the dashboard.
We prorate your savings for the first partial month and calculate full monthly savings thereafter.
