Both Savings Plans and Reserved Instances cut AWS compute costs in exchange for commitment. The difference is flexibility versus specificity.
The distinction
- Savings Plans — commit to hourly spend, flexible across instance types
- Reserved Instances — commit to specific instances, sometimes deeper discount
- Most teams favour Compute Savings Plans for their flexibility
We analyse your usage and recommend the commitment mix that maximises savings without locking you into the wrong shapes.
