Questions, answered
Will it delete a server or cancel an add-on to save money?
No. WebRun only reads billing and usage. Removing a cloned server, dropping an add-on, or downgrading a plan is left entirely to you after you read the breakdown.
How does it spot a forgotten server?
It shows cost per server alongside bandwidth and storage usage, so a server that is being billed while serving almost no traffic stands out in the weekly breakdown.
Does it report actual prices or estimates?
It reports the figures Cloudways itself shows for the month to date, including add-ons and any credits on the account. WebRun does no pricing maths of its own.
