CircleCI Cost Optimization
OhChimp reads CircleCI Insights to rank top credit-consuming workflows, credits wasted on failed runs, and slow pipelines. Savings confirmed on your bill.
How does OhChimp connect to CircleCI?
With a personal API token sent in the Circle-Token header. OhChimp verifies the token against GET /api/v2/me, lists your followed projects, and reads per-workflow Insights metrics. It reads pipeline metadata and aggregated metrics, and never touches your application data, secrets, or workload contents.
Does OhChimp need write access or see my source code?
No. OhChimp only issues read calls and reads aggregated Insights metrics: total runs, failed runs, credits used, and mean duration per workflow. It never reads your source code, build artifacts, secrets, or environment variables.
What CircleCI costs does OhChimp actually reduce?
Credit spend. OhChimp ranks your top credit-consuming workflows, estimates credits burned on failed runs above a meaningful threshold, and flags long-running, frequently-run workflows for parallelism, test splitting, and caching. CircleCI bills in credits, so it converts spend to dollars at the public list rate and labels every figure an estimate.
Who applies the changes, and can they be rolled back?
You do. Each fix is a reviewable plan with a confidence score, a risk level, and rollback steps. Nothing changes until you click apply, and OhChimp applies the matching code and config changes together.
How are the savings verified, and how is OhChimp priced?
Against your real bill. A saving is marked VERIFIED only after 7 or more days, a drop of at least 10%, and 3 consecutive positive checks. Until then it stays flagged "not implemented." Pricing is flat monthly and OhChimp never takes a cut of your savings, with a year-one ROI guarantee: a full refund of subscription fees if it does not pay for itself in your first 12 months on a paid plan.
