Add WasteLine to your FinOps practice.
Earn 30% on the first year of every license your clients buy. No exclusivity, no quotas, no long-form contract.
Why partner with WasteLine
Aligned economics.
A client buys a Pro license at $2,500. You receive $750. Enterprise contracts ($12,500 to $25,000 per year) earn $3,750 to $7,500 of first-year revenue share.
Your client owns the relationship.
WasteLine runs in your client's AWS environment, read-only. We do not compete with your advisory work.
No exclusivity, no quotas.
A signed engagement letter, not a long-form contract. Refer one client a year or twenty - both are fine.
How it works
Identify.
A FinOps engagement, an AWS spend audit, or a cloud cost review at one of your existing clients.

WasteLine runs read-only against the client's AWS account. You drive the demo using the CLI and dashboard. White-label branding is available on the Enterprise tier.
Client buys.
Your client purchases a Pro one-time license or an Enterprise annual contract directly from OptimNow. You stay focused on advisory work.
Get paid.
Quarterly payouts. Transparent ledger shared with each partner.

Frequently asked
How is deal attribution tracked?
When your client books their first scan via the link we provide, the engagement is tagged to your partner ID. The first license purchase within 90 days of attribution counts toward your commission.
What happens after the first year?
You retain access to the program and can refer additional clients. The 30% commission applies to first-year revenue per client. Renewals are not commissionable - this keeps the program simple and aligned with WasteLine's one-time Pro license model.
Can I white-label the dashboard?
White-label branding is part of the Enterprise tier. If your client purchases Enterprise, you can configure white-label on their dashboard.
Which regions are supported?
United States, United Kingdom, and the EU (France, Germany, Netherlands, broader EU). Other regions are not currently supported. We expect to expand.
