# Introduction Pump is a cloud cost optimization platform that helps companies reduce their AWS, GCP, and Azure spend! We combine AI-driven commitment management, infrastructure recommendations, real-time cost visibility, and cloud security scanning into a single tool that takes less than 10 minutes to set up. Pump is free to use. How are we free, you may ask? We earn revenue through our cloud providers, not from your savings. Unlike our competitors, we don't take a cut of what you save, so every dollar we help you reclaim goes straight back to your bottom line. Whether you're a startup spending $5K a month on cloud or an enterprise managing $500K+ across multiple providers, Pump gives your engineering and finance teams the visibility, automation, and savings they need to keep cloud costs under control. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
