Spot instances are 60-90% cheaper. So why isn't everything on Spot?

Because doing it safely by hand is hard. Spot capacity can be reclaimed on a two-minute notice, so you have to diversify across instance types, drain load balancers, and fall back to on-demand when capacity runs out.

The usual answers each have a catch: the native AWS tooling makes you re-architect every AutoScaling group, commercial Spot managers put your infrastructure behind their SaaS and lock you in, and Reserved Instances or Savings Plans commit your spend for years. AutoSpotting handles all of it from inside your own account, by adding a tag.

Three ways to run Spot. One just adds a tag.

	Native ASG Spot	Commercial Spot manager like Spot.io	AutoSpotting
Setup	Convert each group to launch templates, pick instance types	Onboard to their SaaS, adopt their group constructs	Add a tag, no config changes
Instance-type selection	You maintain per-group lists	Automated	Automated, based on your existing type
Failover to on-demand	Limited; the group can run short	Yes	Automatic, and back to Spot when it recovers
Where it runs, your data	AWS-native	Their SaaS, with cross-account access	Your account, no SaaS backend
Lock-in	None, but you re-architected	Vendor constructs, hard to leave	None; remove the tag to revert
Rollout at scale	Group by group	Per their onboarding	Whole account or AWS Org, opt-out mode
Cost	Free	A share of savings, often up to ~20%	Free open source, or 10% of savings for the more robust, enhanced commercial version

Typical Scenarios

Where AutoSpotting delivers the most value

Daily capacity scaling

Workloads that scale up and down daily, which can't be effectively covered by Savings Plans or Reserved Instances.

No long-term commitments

When the multi-year commitments of Reserved Instances and Savings Plans aren't desirable for your business.

No upfront payments

Achieve the highest possible cost savings without capital-intensive 3-year all-upfront payments.

Easy adoption at scale

Convert to Spot (and back to on-demand) reliably without per-group configuration changes - ideal for large organizations and legacy environments.

Estimate your savings

Even a relatively small AWS footprint often nets over $1,000/month. Generate your own estimate with our free tools, which can also produce your AutoSpotting configuration with a single click.
