How Are Costs Estimated

We try to make our pricing examples as comparable as possible.

Please keep in mind that our pricing examples are just that: examples. They are not meant to be a definitive cost estimate for your specific use case.

There may be additional costs that we have not accounted for, and your actual costs may differ simply due to utilization, reserved instances, discounts, and other factors.

Let's be on the same page

We use the following assumptions when estimating costs:

• A month has 30 days (720 hours) for our estimates.
• We don't account for discounts such as reserved or spot instances.
• We pick the region closest to either North Virginia (USA) or Frankfurt (Germany).
• For ease of comparison, we convert all prices to USD. We use the latest rates provided by the ECB (1.1081 USD = 1 EUR as of Sep 13, 2024).

Reference configuration

While not every provider offers every resource in the following configurations, we generally try to match them as closely as possible:

If a provider does not offer the exact configuration, we try to match to the closest available one. For example, if a provider does not offer a machine with 16 GB of RAM, but it does offer options with 14 or 24 GB of RAM, then we'll pick the 14 GB one.
