The Short Version: Flexera acquired ProsperOps in 2026. RightSpend is now the only independent, commitment-free EC2 discount provider. Same RI-level pricing. Zero lock-in. No vendor bundling. And we also optimize the rest of your AWS bill (EBS, S3, RDS, Lambda, DynamoDB, and 20 more services).

If you were a ProsperOps customer, you’re now a Flexera customer. If you were evaluating ProsperOps, you’re now evaluating a product owned by a company that sells 15 other things. Here’s why that matters, and how RightSpend compares.

What Happened to ProsperOps

Flexera acquired ProsperOps in 2024. For existing customers, this means:

  • Your EC2 discount management is now bundled into Flexera’s broader IT management platform
  • Product direction is tied to Flexera’s roadmap, not standalone EC2 optimization
  • Pricing and terms may change as Flexera integrates ProsperOps into its suite
  • You’re now dealing with an enterprise software vendor, not a focused AWS cost specialist

If you liked ProsperOps because it was focused, independent, and simple, RightSpend is the closest alternative.

Why Independence Matters

When your EC2 discount provider is owned by a company that sells IT asset management, software license optimization, and cloud cost management as separate products, there are three risks:

  • Cross-selling pressure. You came for EC2 discounts. Now you’re getting pitched on Flexera’s other 15 products. That’s the enterprise software playbook.
  • Pricing opacity. Standalone products have clear pricing. Bundled products hide the real cost across multi-year enterprise agreements.
  • Roadmap conflicts. ProsperOps’s roadmap is now Flexera’s roadmap. Features that don’t fit the broader platform strategy get deprioritized.

RightSpend has one job: get you the best EC2 price with zero commitment. That’s it. No upsell. No bundle. No enterprise agreement.

Beyond EC2: The Full CloudFix Platform

RightSpend is part of CloudFix, which gives you something ProsperOps/Flexera doesn’t: full AWS bill optimization. EC2 is typically 40-60% of your AWS bill. The rest is EBS, S3, RDS, Lambda, DynamoDB, CloudWatch, OpenSearch, ElastiCache, SageMaker, and 20+ other services. ProsperOps only optimized EC2. CloudFix optimizes all of them.

AWS Service What CloudFix Optimizes Typical Savings
EC2 Right-sizing, Graviton migration, idle instances 20-50%
EBS GP2→GP3, unattached volumes, snapshot cleanup 15-25%
RDS Storage optimization, instance right-sizing 15-35%
S3 Intelligent Tiering, lifecycle policies 20-40%
Lambda Memory profiling, Graviton, log optimization 10-40%
DynamoDB Infrequent access, idle table deletion 40-60%
ElastiCache Valkey migration, data tiering, idle clusters 20-40%
OpenSearch Instance resizing, Graviton, idle clusters 20-50%
EMR Right-sizing, spot migration, managed scaling 20-40%
SageMaker Idle endpoint deletion, instance rightsizing 30-60%
