Live now · Real-time AWS protection

AWS has no spending limit.
BillStop gives you one.

Forgotten servers. Runaway GPU jobs. Leaked keys mining crypto at 2am. BillStop catches them in seconds, tells you exactly what they'd cost, and stops them before your limit blows. Set a limit and BillStop actually enforces it — the runaway and the slow leak — no cloud expertise required.

The full protection loop

Caught in seconds, priced instantly, stopped before your limit — and if money burned anyway, we help get it back.

01

Burn Detected

Something expensive starts — a launch (caught in seconds via AWS events) or silent AI token burn on Bedrock (caught in minutes via live usage counters). No waiting on billing data.

🧮
02

Priced Instantly

BillStop estimates what it burns — ≈$/hr and ≈$/mo — and checks it against YOUR limit: “at this rate, your $100 limit is gone in ~33 hours.”

🔔
03

You Know Immediately

Email, dashboard, and Slack — the alert names what launched, where, what it costs, and when your limit dies. Actionable, not vague.

🛑
04

Circuit Breaker Trips

If a launch is forecast to blow your limit, BillStop stops it — reversibly, never deleting anything. Turn on the hard cap and it also stops whatever's already running the moment your actual spend hits the limit. Your call: alert only, dry run, or circuit breaker.

🧹
05

Waste & Stealth Fees Found

Between emergencies, BillStop hunts the quiet leaks: idle servers, unattached disks, zombie IPs — plus hidden fees like the RDS Extended Support surcharge. One click sweeps every region for an all-clear.

06

Worst Case? Refund Rescue

If a surprise bill lands anyway, one click writes the AWS support ticket that gets honest first-time charges waived — with BillStop's incident timeline attached as evidence.

AI Circuit Breaker

The moment something expensive launches — by you, a script, or leaked keys — BillStop prices it and, if it would blow your limit, stops it automatically. Reversible, never deletes.

🛑 g5.8xlarge auto-stopped 14s after launch

A real spending limit

AWS has no hard cap. Turn on the hard cap and BillStop stops everything already running the moment your actual month-to-date spend reaches your limit.

At 100% of your limit → everything stopped
🎯

Budget Rules

One overall monthly cap, or a separate budget for each AWS service. BillStop watches every dollar and warns you at 80% and 100% by email and Slack.

EC2 $50 · RDS $30 · overall $100
🔍

All-Clear Scan

“Is anything, anywhere still costing me money?” One button sweeps every AWS region — and flags stealth fees like the RDS Extended Support surcharge (it doubled in March) and billed public IPv4s.

✅ All clear — verified across 17 regions
🤖

AI Burn Watch

AI agents never “launch” anything — they burn tokens silently until the invoice lands. BillStop reads Bedrock's live usage counters and warns in minutes when the burn endangers your limit.

🤖 ≈$4.20/hr on claude-sonnet — limit at risk
🧹

Waste Finder

Hunts what you forgot: idle servers, unattached disks, zombie IPs — each priced per month. Stop them in one click; stopping is always reversible.

Found ≈$212/mo of waste → stopped
🔐

No keys. Ever.

Connect through a read-only role created in your own AWS console — about 2 minutes, every permission auditable. Revoke anytime by deleting one stack.

Read-only + reversible stop, by design

Why not just use AWS Budgets?

You can — and if you like writing IAM policies, you should look at it. The honest difference:

AWS Budgets
Reacts to billing data — 8–24h behind reality
Can stop EC2/RDS, but you write the IAM policies and actions yourself
Only catches what you predicted and budgeted for
No estimate of what a launch will cost you
Setup assumes you know AWS well
BillStop
Reacts to the launch event itself — seconds, not hours
Prices every launch instantly: “your limit is gone in ~33h”
Budget-aware auto-stop — reversible, never deletes (opt-in)
All-Clear Scan across every region, one button
Waste Finder for the resources you forgot
2-minute setup — no keys, no IAM to write

Frequently asked questions

How does the free trial work?

Every account starts with a 7-day free trial — full access to everything (Circuit Breaker, All-Clear Scan, Waste Finder, reports). You add a card to start, aren’t charged for 7 days, and can cancel anytime before then. After the trial it’s $19/mo.

Is my AWS data safe?

Yes. BillStop connects through a read-only cross-account IAM role you create in your own console — there are no access keys to paste or store. We can see your costs but can never create, modify, or delete a resource, and you revoke access anytime by deleting one stack.

How is this different from AWS Budgets?

AWS Budgets reacts to billing data that lags 8–24 hours, and only catches what you budgeted for. BillStop reacts to the launch event itself — in seconds — prices it, and can stop it before your limit blows. You can also do this with AWS Budgets Actions if you’re happy writing the IAM policies yourself; BillStop is the 2-minute, no-setup version.

What if I go over my limit?

On the Free plan you get an instant alert. On paid, the Circuit Breaker automatically stops the runaway before it gets worse — reversibly, never deleting anything.

Which cloud providers do you support?

AWS today. GCP and Azure coming soon.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. No contracts, no cancellation fees. Cancel in one click from your dashboard.
