Free tier limits

What the Free plan includes, what is gated, and what you unlock when you upgrade.

Last updated July 5, 2026

Every Parsivex account starts on Free. You can connect one AWS account, run one scan per month, and see whether Parsivex finds meaningful savings — without entering a credit card.

What Free includes

CapabilityOn Free?
Connect 1 AWS account
Run 1 scan per month
See total potential monthly savings
View scan status and history
See how many findings were detected (count only)

After your first successful scan, the dashboard shows your Potential monthly savings total and a findings count. That is enough to decide whether upgrading is worth it.

What is gated on Free

These capabilities require a paid plan:

Gated capabilityWhy it matters
Full findings listSee which specific AWS resources are wasting money, with severity and savings per finding
Finding detailsResource IDs, descriptions, and evidence behind each recommendation
Dismiss / snooze / reopenManage finding lifecycle so intentional spend is not re-flagged
Remediation scriptsCopy ready-to-run AWS CLI commands to fix issues
Recurring scansAutomatic re-scans to catch new waste and track realized savings
Email & anomaly alertsNotifications when new waste or cost spikes appear
PDF exportDownload a shareable savings report
Public report sharingGenerate a link others can view without signing in
Realized savings trackingSee savings you have actually captured over time

On Free, the findings section of your report shows blurred or locked content with an upgrade prompt instead of actionable details.

Scan usage resets on the first day of each calendar month (UTC). If you used your free scan this month, wait until next month or upgrade to scan again.

What happens if my subscription lapses?

If a paid subscription is canceled or a payment fails, your account returns to the Free plan immediately. You keep your scan history, but paid features (full findings, alerts, scripts, etc.) are locked again. See Billing FAQ for details.
