Why Onicost exists
A Kubernetes cluster shares machines between teams and products, while the cloud bill only knows the machines. Nobody can then tell which service justifies an increase, or which capacity is paid for without being used.
Onicost closes that gap: it computes the cost of each node, workload and namespace, compares it with requests and real usage, then proposes actions for your team to review.
What you can do with Onicost
The product covers three uses, from the finding to the action.
- See: the cost by cluster, namespace, workload and label, apart from unused capacity.
- Fix: rightsizing recommendations, for your teams to review and apply.
- Stop: a scheduler that stops environments according to the rules you enable.
Our commitments
You can work out the price before you sign: it is public and depends on the cores of your nodes, not on a percentage of your cloud bill. The Free plan stays available for one cluster up to 32 cores, with no credit card.
Your data stays in France, with Scaleway, in the Paris region. The agent has read-only access by default, the scheduler acts only with dedicated permissions and keeps a journal of its actions, and the Helm chart that installs them is public on GitHub.
Public cloud prices for everyone
Onicost publishes the machine prices of AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Scaleway and OVHcloud every day, in euros and dollars. These pages are open to all, without an account, and compare a machine from one provider to another.
