How does Zesty billing work if we sign up via the AWS Marketplace?

Signing up for Zesty directly through the AWS Marketplace helps to keep all of your AWS-related expenses in one place, making it easier for finance teams to monitor and assess cloud spend and reducing the number of vendors they need to interact with directly each month.

The Zesty fee will appear as a simple line item under the name Advanced Reserved Instance Automation for easy reference.

If your business has an EDP set up with AWS, signing up through the Marketplace also ensures that your Zesty fee is counted towards your annual EDP commitment.

One of our Account Executives can walk you through the process of setting this up during the sales process.

A note on the billing cycle:

Zesty runs billing on the 3rd of the month in order to get the most accurate data possible for the previous month's bill. AWS sends invoices out to their customers on the 2nd or 3rd of every month.

As a consequence of this, the Zesty line item appearing on your AWS item will always reflect the fee from the previous month. For example, on April 3rd you will be sent your Zesty bill for the month of March but will only see the matching line item on the AWS invoice sent at the start of May.
