Azure App Service Plan Right-sizing
The plan bills for the compute it reserves, not for what the apps on it consume, so a tier above the workload is paid in full every hour.
Free to start. No card. The playground just needs your work email.

Found, explained, fixed.
Findings with a dollar figure attached, idle, oversized, orphaned, unscheduled and undiscounted spend.

ZopNight checks this automatically across Azure, with read-only access to the account.
Explain
Every finding says exactly what to change: Resize the app service plan. Where the saving can be proven it is priced; where it cannot, the finding says so.
Fix
In one click, ZopNight resizes it to the recommended tier, then checks the change took. When someone other than an admin starts a pause or a delete, an admin approves it first.
