# Morfless

> Morfless is a multi-cloud cost optimisation platform. It gives finance and engineering teams visibility, recommendations and automation across AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Snowflake, Databricks and the major AI providers.

## About

Morfless operates in the billing layer of the vendors it supports, not the engineering layer. It analyses cost and usage data, recommends savings, and automates commitment management (Savings Plans, Reserved Instances, Committed Use Discounts, Azure reservations) so teams reach the lowest effective rate without changing workloads. There is nothing to install inside a customer environment, no access to databases, storage contents, logs or source code, and no downtime risk.

Morfless is a registered AWS Partner backed by Antler. It is headquartered in Sydney, Australia with an office in Melbourne.

## Key Facts

- Customers typically see up to 40% reduction in total cloud spend
- Connection takes minutes and starts read-only
- Rate optimisation first: better prices for the usage you already have, plus usage recommendations where waste exists
- Performance-based pricing: customers pay when Morfless saves them money, with no upfront or platform fees
- Supports AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Snowflake, Databricks, OpenAI, Anthropic and other AI, data, observability and developer tool vendors
- As an AWS Partner, Morfless can also offer an 8% spend-based discount on total AWS consumption through AWS Billing Transfer
- Gross Savings Rate (GSR) is the headline measure: total savings divided by on-demand equivalent spend

## Customer Results

- oOh!media: $201K+ annualised savings
- Stuff: $145K+ annualised savings, 73% improvement and 92% reduction in average commitment term
- Hapana: $120K+ annualised savings

## How It Works

1. Connect a cloud, data or AI vendor account with read-only access
2. Morfless analyses usage, commitment coverage and waste, then returns a savings estimate
3. Review recommendations, or enable automation for continuous commitment management
4. Track savings, allocate spend to teams, and schedule reporting
