Frugal is an Application Cost Engineering platform designed to help companies cut cloud spend by optimizing inefficient application code. Unlike traditional FinOps tools that focus only on infrastructure, Frugal analyzes source code along with observability data and cloud bills to detect costly application behaviors. It automatically identifies patterns such as excessive metrics reporting, inefficient AI calls, or wasteful database queries, and generates quality-assured pull requests with fixes. Ideal for developers, DevOps teams, and cloud architects, Frugal reduces actual service consumption, improves visibility into cloud costs, automates cost hygiene, and helps companies achieve both financial savings and lower carbon footprints.

Ratings and Reviews

Reduced our cloud bills significantly

4.60

Frugal quickly identified inefficient code and automated the fixes. We saw a 15% drop in our cloud spend within the first month.

Excellent for DevOps teams

4.40

The pull request system is a lifesaver. Instead of manually hunting inefficiencies, we can now optimize code systematically and safely.

I always thought cloud cost reduction was only about rightsizing servers, but Frugal showed us how application inefficiencies were driving up expenses.
