Try it first
Connecting storage takes a few minutes and some trust. So here is a made-up company's storage to try it on instead: five kinds of source, about 55 million objects, nothing connected and no account needed.
Search it, read what the Savings Finder finds, and undo a bad overwrite. Click anything.
See BucketPilot on a sample estate
This is Fernbrook Media's storage: 6 sources across Amazon S3, Google Cloud, Cloudflare R2 and a Linux server, about 55 million objects and 23.2 TiB. The company is made up and nothing here is connected, and you do not need an account, so it is safe to click anything.
Find any file, in any bucket or server
Index once, then search every source at the same time. By file name, with wildcards.

See what you are overpaying for, in dollars
The Savings Finder reads the index and puts a monthly figure on every finding.
Estimated saving, this estate
$298.46 a month
AWS list prices, US East, as of 1 October 2026.
- $268.08/mo
Cold data · fernbrook-media-archive
14 TiB untouched for two years, about 1% read back a month
Move it to S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval with a lifecycle rule: $268.08 a month, still instant to read. The move costs $36.00 once.

Old versions · fernbrook-finance
1.1 TiB of noncurrent versions, 220,000 of them
Tier the old versions to S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval without touching a current file: $20.90 a month.
- $9.48/mo
Duplicate copies · across 3 buckets
412 GiB in 38,204 files that are byte-for-byte copies
Matched on content, not name. Every copy is listed with a link, and deleting is yours to do: $9.48 a month.
- No saving
Leave this one alone · fernbrook-site-images
2 TiB in 50 million small files, read about three times a month
Every colder class would cost more, at least $88.09 a month more, because the files are tiny and read all day. We tell you when the obvious move is wrong.
Same pricing model as the free storage class calculator. Nothing changes until you press a button on a finding.
Undo a mistake
Backups keep every version, so a bad overwrite or a delete is one click from undone.

What is real and what is not
The company, the files and the people are invented. The dollar figures are real: the Savings panel runs the same calculator as the free S3 storage class calculator, at AWS's own list prices, so you can reproduce every number.
It also shows the answer most tools leave out: when moving data to a colder class would cost more. The sample image library is flagged "leave this one alone" because small files read all day cost more on a cheaper class.
The search follows the product's rules: by file name, with and ? wildcards.
Then try it on yours
- 1.Create an account. Every account starts with a 14-day trial, and no card is needed.
- 2.Connect a bucket under Credentials. One click in AWS creates the access, and deleting that CloudFormation stack removes it again.
- 3.Index it, and the same three things run on your real storage. Nothing in your account changes until you press a button on a finding.

Questions
- Do I need an account to try it?
- No. The sample estate runs in your browser on invented data, with nothing to sign up for and nothing connected.
- Is any of this my data?
- No. The company, the files and the people are made up, and nothing here reads from or writes to any account of yours.
- How accurate are the savings figures?
- The company is invented, but the arithmetic is real: the same calculator as the free storage class calculator, at AWS list prices for US East (N. Virginia). On your own buckets the figures come from your real objects.
- Does connecting my storage change anything?
- Not by itself. BucketPilot reads your buckets to build its index, and nothing in your account changes until you press a button on a finding. Deleting the CloudFormation stack removes its access.
