Plans and Pricing: Free, Team and Business

LeftSize has three plans: Free, Team and Business. Every plan runs all 217 rules on every scan; the plan decides which findings become GitHub Issues and how many repositories can send scan results. Prices are in US dollars, per GitHub organization or personal account.

Plan comparison

Yearly billing costs about 17% less than paying monthly. Team and Business are at an early-access price.

The rules catalog lists which plan each rule belongs to.

What the Free plan includes

The Free plan opens GitHub Issues for all 81 cost optimization rules on AWS, Azure and Cloudflare, such as idle VMs, unattached disks, unused load balancers, missing shutdown schedules and paid Cloudflare zones that serve no traffic, in up to 3 repositories. It has no time limit.

The other rules (deprecations and retirements, security and governance) still run on the Free plan. Their findings appear in the scan’s job summary on GitHub Actions, but LeftSize doesn’t open issues for them.

How repositories are counted

Plans apply per GitHub organization or personal account. The repository limit counts the repositories in that account for which LeftSize has stored findings. A repository whose scans have found nothing yet doesn’t count.

Many teams scan all their cloud accounts or subscriptions from one infrastructure repository with a matrix, which counts as one repository. Scanning several clouds from one workflow, one job per cloud, also counts as one repository. See the Workflow Reference and Scanning several clouds from one workflow.

What happens at the repository limit

A new repository over the limit is refused: its job summary says “Repository Limit Reached”, the step stays green, and its findings aren’t stored. Repositories that were already scanned keep working. The limit-exceeded output is true for such a run.

Upgrading

You buy Team or Business on the LeftSize setup page and pay with Stripe:

1. Open the setup page. After a scan, the upgrade link in the job summary opens it for your installation. You can also install LeftSize from leftsize.com and continue to the setup page.
2. Sign in with GitHub. Anyone with access to the installation can upgrade it.
3. Under Plan, choose monthly or yearly and click Team or Business.
4. Pay on the Stripe checkout page. Enter your VAT number there if you have one; any VAT is shown before you pay.

The plan is active within a few seconds of payment, for the whole GitHub organization or personal account. The next scan opens issues for all rules. Stripe emails the receipt.

Managing your subscription

Click Manage billing on the setup page to open the Stripe billing portal. There you can:

• switch between Team and Business, or between monthly and yearly billing;
• update your card, billing address, email address or VAT number;
• download invoices;
• cancel.

An upgrade takes effect immediately and the difference is charged pro rata. A downgrade, or a switch from yearly to monthly, takes effect at the next renewal. After you cancel, the plan stays active until the end of the paid period and then moves to Free. If a payment fails, Stripe retries it and the plan stays active in the meantime; update your card under Manage billing.

Changing plans

A plan change applies to the whole GitHub organization or personal account from the next scan. Issues that already exist stay as they are. After a move to Free, LeftSize stops updating issues for rules outside the Free plan; it doesn’t close them. The current plans and prices are on leftsize.com/#pricing.
