How accurate are these estimates?

Our estimates are based on published pricing and suitable for planning. Actual costs may vary due to volume discounts, negotiated rates, and additional services.

How often is pricing data updated?

We update pricing data regularly. For the most current pricing, check the provider's official pricing pages.

What about reserved instances and savings plans?

We show both on-demand and reserved pricing. Reserved instances can save 30-60% but require upfront commitment.

Can I compare specific instance types?

Yes, you can specify exact instance types or let us recommend comparable instances based on your requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our estimates are based on published pricing and are suitable for planning purposes. Actual costs may vary due to volume discounts, negotiated rates, support plans, and services not included in our calculator. We recommend using official pricing calculators for final budgeting.

We update our pricing data regularly to reflect current rates. However, cloud providers can change prices at any time. For the most current pricing, always check the provider's official pricing pages or calculators.

Yes, you can specify expected data transfer (egress) and we'll include those costs in the estimate. Data transfer pricing, especially egress, can be significant and varies by provider and region. Be sure to account for all your data movement patterns.

We show both on-demand and reserved/committed use pricing where applicable. Reserved instances can save 30-60% but require upfront commitment. Consider your workload stability before committing to reserved capacity.

Yes, you can either specify exact instance types (like AWS m5.large or Azure D2s_v3) or let us recommend comparable instances based on your CPU and memory requirements. The tool matches equivalent configurations across providers.

All calculations happen in your browser. Your configuration is not sent to any server. You can optionally save configurations to your browser's local storage for future reference, but nothing leaves your device.

Known limitations

— All estimates use on-demand pricing. Reserved instances, savings plans, and committed use discounts can reduce costs by 30–70% — this tool doesn't model those. Use it for rough comparisons, not final budget planning.
— Egress costs vary significantly by region and destination and aren't fully reflected. Data transfer pricing is one of the most complex parts of cloud billing and this tool simplifies it.
— Doesn't cover managed services like serverless functions, managed databases, or AI/ML services. Compute and storage only for now.
