Stop paying for idle AWS resources scan, spot and fix cloud

May 13, 2026 I built a tool that catches AWS waste and lets you fix it in one click looking for beta testers

I kept forgetting about stopped EC2 instances that were still quietly billing me. So I built GuardianCloud — it connects to your AWS account, scans for idle and wasted resources, and shows you the monthly cost of each one.

From my own test account it found $15.18/month in waste immediately.

You can stop or restart instances straight from the dashboard. It also tracks your savings over time and lets you set budget alerts.

Completely free right now. Just looking for honest feedback — is it useful? Would you pay for it? What's missing?
