One thing that I liked with GCP is their recommendation for cost saving. I spun up a compute engine for a hobby project and within minutes they gave recommendations to reduce the instance size and how much i can save. I don't think AWS offers something like that. Correct me if I am wrong.
Even better are Google managed services (PubSub / Dataflow / Datastore), which scale up and down based on usage (cloud native products) and thus save money automatically compared to their equivalents in AWS (Kinesis / Kinesis Analytics / DynamoDB) which does not autoscale.
Most of the Trusted Advisor checks are only available if you're on a Business or higher tier support plan. And those are now priced as a percentage of your monthly spend – not cheap.

DDB recently added autoscaling -- https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-auto-scaling-for-amazon...
It does not work well, it gives late responses
Really? Feel free to email me about that randhunt@amazon
AWS has the trusted advisor, and it will offer to assist you in cost savings in terms of:
* Idle Load Balancers
* Underutilization of EBS volumes
* Unassociated Elastic IP addresses
* Idle RDS intsances
* R53 latency resource record sets
* etc...

If you're running your business on any provider, wouldn't you want to make sure you had support?
Not when the support is useless and not required.
