Ideal Customer
- ProsperOps targets mid-market to enterprise organizations with substantial and ongoing cloud infrastructure spend, recommending a minimum of $10,000 per month in cloud spend for the platform to consistently add value.
- The sweet spot is companies spending $500K–$5M or more annually on AWS, Azure, and/or Google Cloud who want to automate commitment management without adding FinOps headcount.
Key Differentiators
- ProsperOps positions itself as a fully autonomous execution engine rather than a recommendations-based tool—the platform continuously takes action on commitment purchases, sales, and exchanges without requiring human approval of individual transactions, which is a key differentiator from competitors that only surface recommendations.
- Its proprietary Adaptive Laddering strategy purchases commitments in small, frequent increments to minimize lock-in risk while maximizing savings, and its Effective Savings Rate (ESR) metric provides a standardized measure of optimization outcomes.
Industries Served
- ProsperOps primarily serves technology-intensive industries with significant cloud infrastructure spend, including financial technology (e.g., Coinbase, Nubank), SaaS providers (e.g., Webflow, CleverTap), business process services (e.g., Capita), and government agencies.
- The platform is also used by companies in computer and network security, IT services, telecommunications, and research sectors.
Service Coverage
- ProsperOps operates globally, serving DevOps and FinOps teams from startups to enterprises and cloud resellers across multiple geographies.
- According to Bloomberg, the company serves customers in the United States, Europe, and North America broadly.
Partnerships
- ProsperOps holds significant cloud hyperscaler partner designations, including AWS Cloud Management Tools Competency and AWS ISV Accelerate (co-sell) Partner status, Google Cloud Advantage Partner status, and Microsoft ISV Success Partner status with IP Co-sell status on the Azure Marketplace.
- The platform is listed and purchasable on all three major hyperscaler marketplaces—AWS Marketplace, Azure Marketplace, and Google Cloud Marketplace—enabling MACC credit burn-down for Azure customers and enterprise agreement spend counting for Google Cloud customers.
Company Size & Ownership
- ProsperOps was founded in 2018 by CEO Chris Cochran and co-founders Erik Carlin and Chris Kuehl, who previously built Rackspace's AWS Managed Services business.
- The company has approximately 109 employees as of 2026, growing from roughly 26 employees in 2022—roughly a fourfold increase in headcount.
Compliance & Certifications
- ProsperOps has achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance, verified by an independent third-party auditor, providing customers assurance that controls are effective over time—not just at a point in time.
- The company's security profile also reflects alignment with GDPR requirements and supports SSO via Okta, Google, and Microsoft, as well as multi-factor authentication (SMS, email, hardware, TOTP, and U2F).

The platform continuously monitors workload usage patterns, calculates optimal coverage points on a weekly basis, and progressively ladders CUD purchases in small increments to minimize commitment lock-in risk while maximizing savings. All management requires only least-privilege IAM permissions and operates without engineering team intervention.
Autonomous Discount Management (ADM) for Microsoft Azure
ADM for Azure automatically optimizes Azure Reservations and Savings Plans for Compute across services including Virtual Machines, App Service, AKS, Dedicated Host, Container Apps, Container Instances, Virtual Desktop, Spring Apps, Azure Databricks, Functions, and database services such as Azure SQL Database, MySQL, and PostgreSQL.

It is available through the Azure Marketplace and supports MACC credit burn-down.
Autonomous Rate Optimization (Multi-Cloud Platform)
ProsperOps provides a unified multi-cloud rate optimization platform that delivers a common Autonomous Discount Management experience across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud within a single console. Customers configure controls such as term length, budget, payment preference, and risk tolerance once and the platform continuously optimizes commitment portfolios across all three clouds simultaneously. The platform includes unified reporting dashboards, Effective Savings Rate and Commitment Lock-In Risk metrics, and is available on AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure marketplaces.
Free Cloud Savings Analysis
ProsperOps offers a free cloud savings analysis that gives organizations a deeper understanding of their current cloud spend and savings potential, benchmarked against industry peers. Setup takes approximately 10 minutes and requires no commitment, providing visualization of savings potential and peer benchmarking. According to the company, 3 out of 4 customers who complete the analysis see at least a 50% increase in savings after adopting ProsperOps.
Intelligent Showback
Intelligent Showback is a cost allocation and reporting capability for AWS and Azure that automatically and accurately reallocates cloud commitment costs and savings across accounts, subscriptions, resource types, and regions. It eliminates manual spreadsheet-based allocation by providing a single source of truth that shows costs proportional to usage and distributes savings benefits relative to each resource's discount rates. Reports can be customized with business-defined tags and groupings, scheduled for automated delivery, and exported via CSV or Data Export integration.
ProsperOps Scheduler
ProsperOps Scheduler is a cloud resource scheduler (currently in Early Access) that integrates directly with Autonomous Discount Management to synchronize engineer-defined resource schedules with commitment portfolio actions, minimizing unutilized commitments and on-demand costs. Engineers control resource schedules using tags and existing tools such as the AWS console, custom scripts, or Infrastructure-as-Code tools without needing access to the ProsperOps console. Currently supports scheduling for Amazon EC2 and Amazon RDS, with planned expansion to additional AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure services.
