FAQs
Find answers to commonly asked questions about our GCP integration.
What can North do for my GCP bill?
North manages the full Google Cloud Provider (GCP) FinOps lifecycle in one platform. You can reduce costs through commitment management and rightsizing, analyze spend with detailed breakdowns and forecasts, and allocate costs across projects and teams.
North also monitors for anomalies in real time. And with Noros, North’s AI agent, you can ask questions about your GCP spend and get answers quickly.
Instead of stitching together multiple tools, you get one source of truth for understanding, managing, and optimizing your GCP bill.
How much can I actually save on GCP?
North customers typically save up to 35% on their Google Cloud Provider (GCP) bill. Real savings come from three levers: commitment optimization (getting better rates without lock-in), rightsizing (running instances that actually fit your workloads), and workload optimization (like AI token costs).
Your exact savings depend on your current GCP setup, but North analyzes your account for free and shows you specific opportunities before you commit.
Is it safe to give North access to my GCP account?
Yes. North uses read-only permissions for cost analysis, visibility, and optimization recommendations—we never write to your account or access your data. Setup takes 5 minutes via service account configuration and other methods. North is SOC 2 Type II certified, encrypts all data in transit and at rest, and never uses your GCP data to train AI models. You're always in control—revoke any permissions instantly.
If you use Coverage features like Autobot, North requests additional permissions to automate commitment purchasing decisions on your behalf. These permissions are optional and fully in your control—you can grant or revoke them anytime, and we clearly show you exactly what access is needed before you approve.
Note: Flexbot (North-managed commitments) is currently available for Compute Engine and Cloud SQL.
How quickly can I get started with North on GCP?
Setup takes 5 minutes. Connect your GCP billing account and projects through service account configuration. North automatically analyzes your account and within 24 hours you'll see allocation, anomalies, and recommendations fully populated in your dashboard. You can start analyzing your spend for free before deciding to activate optimization features.
Will North force me into long-term contracts or commitments?
No. North offers flexible terms to match your needs. Startup and Premier plans work month-to-month with zero long-term lock-in, while Premier Plus offers a 1-year term with no penalties for changing course or canceling early. Either way, there are no multi-year contracts or hidden lock-in.
North also works alongside your existing GCP commitments—whether you have Committed Use Discounts (CUDs) or other spend agreements. We make your GCP relationship work harder, not replace it.
Can I use North with my existing GCP Committed Use Discounts?
Yes. North is fully compatible with your existing GCP commitments. If you already have CUDs, North respects those and layers additional optimization on top.
North also offers its own flexible commitment management through Flexbot (currently for Compute Engine and Cloud SQL) if you want more flexibility, but there's no requirement to change your current setup.
Is North compatible with GCP Private Pricing Agreements?
Yes. North works seamlessly alongside your existing Google Cloud Provider (GCP) enterprise agreements without replacing or modifying your contract. North optimizes within your negotiated terms and layers additional savings on top through commitment management and rightsizing. Your enterprise pricing relationship stays intact while North makes it work harder.
