FinOpsly Launches Costix, The First Estimator Built for Multi-Cloud, AI, and Data Cost Planning

via Business Wire

FinOpsly, the AI-native control system for enterprise cloud, AI, and data costs, today announced the launch of Costix, an AI-powered estimation tool that turns cloud, data and AI initiatives into ready-to-build solution plans with clear cost estimates before anything gets deployed. Costix helps enterprise product, engineering, and pre-sales teams align early by generating a solution blueprint, detailed workload specifications, and a bill of materials with estimated costs to support accurate planning and stronger business cases from the start.

A 2021 Flexera report found that over 30 percent of cloud spend is wasted due to poor planning and limited cost visibility. Despite this loss, most enterprises still rely on spreadsheets and assumptions to estimate costs for new features. These methods often require detailed workload inputs that aren't available early on. Native cloud calculators, though commonly used, are rigid and require granular configurations. They also lack support for multi-environment planning, making it hard to compare options, align teams, or prevent overruns before deployment.

Moving cost planning upstream in the product lifecycle

Costix helps teams move from rough planning and assumptions to concrete, architecture-aligned estimates before a single resource is provisioned.

More accurate solution design

Costix enables product teams to describe what they’re building and receive a solution blueprint aligned to internal architecture standards. Costix also provides agentic AI assistance, giving users real-time guidance on things like configuration trade-offs as they scope projects.

Validated specs, faster planning

Costix comes pre-loaded with workload configurations and assumptions—covering compute, storage, and network—so engineers and architects can simply review and validate them across development, testing, and production environments. These inputs reflect actual architecture patterns and live cloud SKU data, enabling faster, more accurate planning while maintaining alignment with performance and compliance goals.

A tailored bill of materials for internal alignment

Costix produces a detailed, contract-aware bill of materials that includes pricing, tagging, and business mappings tailored to the user’s organization. Product owners can use these estimates to justify investments, align with procurement and finance, and accelerate internal approvals.

“Cost control is no longer just a cloud problem. It is a systems problem across cloud, data, and AI,” said Kiran Jain, CEO and Co-Founder of FinOpsly. “We built Costix to give teams a fast, reliable way to plan infrastructure costs upfront, using data they can trust - all in less than five minutes. Every estimate should lead to a decision. Every dollar spent should be traceable, defensible, and actionable. With Costix, we are making that standard possible.”

A growing need for pre-deployment cost visibility

As companies build AI applications, migrate data platforms, and scale cloud workloads, planning becomes harder and more critical. Costix helps teams align earlier, reducing risk and improving collaboration between product, sales, engineering, and finance.

“What sets Costix apart is its ability to turn business inputs into compliant solution designs — not just cost projections — giving teams a launch-ready blueprint from day one,” said Mueen Delvi, CTO and Co-Founder of FinOpsly.
