Comparison
Glassity vs CloudHealth (Broadcom)
CloudHealth shows you dashboards. Glassity drives savings to completion through your existing tools — and you only pay for results.
| Glassity | CloudHealth | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | 10% success fee — pay only for actual savings | Fixed subscription ($X,000/mo regardless of results) |
| Integration | Read-only, agentless IAM — live in hours | Requires billing data export and API configuration |
| Optimization approach | Automated execution via PRs, Jira, CI/CD | Dashboard with recommendations — manual execution |
| Discovery | Real-time via AWS APIs (minutes) | Billing data analysis (24-48h lag) |
| Workload optimization | Rightsizing, architecture, scheduling, idle cleanup | Rightsizing recommendations only |
| Rate optimization | Autopilot — up to 50% EC2, 69% RDS | RI/SP recommendations (manual purchase) |
| Cost allocation | Virtual tagging (Tag Magic) — works with missing tags | Requires consistent tagging |
| Workflow integration | GitHub, Jira, Terraform, Slack, CI/CD | ServiceNow, limited integrations |
| Accountability | Assignment Manager, leaderboards, ownership tracking | Basic reporting and alerts |
| Lock-in | Cancel anytime, 30-day notice | Annual contracts typical |
Why teams switch from CloudHealth to Glassity
CloudHealth pioneered cloud cost visibility, but it was built for a different era — one where dashboards and reports were enough. Today's engineering teams need savings that actually get implemented, not more charts to look at.
Glassity closes the execution gap. Recommendations don't sit in a dashboard — they become Jira tickets, GitHub PRs, and Terraform changes with clear owners. And with the 10% success-fee model, you only pay when savings are delivered.
Since Broadcom's acquisition, many CloudHealth customers have seen reduced investment in the product. Glassity is purpose-built, actively developed, and laser-focused on AWS optimization.
