Find the cloud resources you are paying for and not using

Every Monday, WebRun opens the DigitalOcean control panel, lists droplets that are powered off but still billing, volumes attached to nothing, snapshots older than your retention window, and load balancers with no backends, posts the full cleanup list to Microsoft Teams, and sends you a WhatsApp message with the monthly cost sitting idle.

In short

How do I find cloud resources I am paying for but not using?

WebRun sweeps your DigitalOcean account every Monday for powered-off droplets, unattached volumes, stale snapshots, and empty load balancers. It posts a costed cleanup list to Microsoft Teams and sends you a WhatsApp message with the total monthly spend currently sitting idle.

  • Forgotten droplets stop billing quietly month after month
  • Every cleanup candidate arrives with its monthly cost attached
  • One weekly number shows whether cloud waste is growing

Questions, answered

Will it destroy droplets or delete snapshots?

No. WebRun only reads your DigitalOcean account. It never destroys a droplet, detaches a volume, or deletes a snapshot. Every item on the list stays exactly where it is until a person decides.

How does it know a resource is idle?

It reads the live state in the control panel: droplets powered off, volumes with no droplet attached, snapshots older than the retention window you set, and load balancers with no backend droplets.

Can it skip resources we keep on purpose?

Yes. Tag the droplets, volumes, or snapshots you want kept, tell WebRun which tag means keep, and those resources are left out of both the Teams list and the WhatsApp total.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
