RightSpend vs ProsperOps (Flexera): The Independent EC2 Discount Alternative

If you were a ProsperOps customer, you’re now a customer of “a Flexera company”. If you were evaluating ProsperOps, you’re now evaluating a product owned by a broad IT management vendor. Here’s why that matters, and how RightSpend compares.

What Happened to ProsperOps#

Flexera announced the acquisition on January 6, 2026. ProsperOps still sells under its own brand, now as “a Flexera company”, and Flexera also owns Spot. For existing customers, the questions worth putting to your account team are:

• Will your commitment management stay a standalone product, or move into Flexera One?
• Whose roadmap does the product now follow?
• Will pricing or contract terms change as the product is integrated?
• Who will you be dealing with for support and renewals?

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, three things are worth weighing:

• Cross-selling. You came for EC2 discounts; a suite vendor has other products to sell you.
• Pricing visibility. ProsperOps does not publish its savings-share percentage. RightSpend publishes its fee: 25% of net new savings.
• Roadmap. ProsperOps’s roadmap now sits inside Flexera’s.

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