Stop paying for idle AWS resources
CostGuard turns off your dev, staging, and test servers on nights and weekends—and restarts them when your team is back. Untagged production is never touched.

wasted on idle hours. CostGuard is $9.99/mo — you'd save ~$44/month, and one stopped server already pays for it.
Estimate based on approximate AWS on-demand pricing (us-east-1) and a ~60% off-hours schedule. Your actual savings depend on your resources, region, and schedule.
What is CostGuard?
Your AWS bill is higher than it needs to be—and a big chunk of it runs while your team sleeps. CostGuard shuts down the resources you tag during off-hours, then restarts them on schedule. One stopped server pays for the whole subscription.
Safe by Design
Untagged = untouched. Production is invisible unless you tag it. Everything is reversible and logged.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much can we actually save?
It depends on which resources you tag and your schedule. Savings vary, but the math is simple: one stopped resource pays for CostGuard. We'll show you detailed projections based on your current usage.
Will CostGuard manage my production resources?
No. You choose exactly which resources to manage through tagging. Untagged resources—including all production—are completely invisible to CostGuard. Full control is in your hands.
Is this safe to use in production AWS accounts?
Completely. CostGuard only manages resources you explicitly tag. Production resources without CostGuard tags are completely ignored—they run 24/7 untouched. Everything is reversible, all actions are logged, and you control exactly what gets managed. Perfect for teams that need safety and compliance.
What if I need a stopped server for debugging?
One click and it's back. CostGuard never locks you out—temporary overrides spin any resource up instantly, anytime, then it returns to your normal schedule. You're always in control.
