Pricing Methodology

How we calculate costs using real cloud pricing from AWS, GCP, and Azure.

Resource Pricing

Conservative averages across AWS, GCP, and Azure

Resource	Per Hour	Per Month	Notes
Memory	$0.01/GB	$7.20/GB	Based on on-demand pricing
CPU	$0.03/vCPU	$21.60/core	Based on on-demand pricing
Storage	-	$0.10/GB	EBS gp3 / PD-SSD average
Load Balancer	-	$20.00	ALB / NLB / Cloud LB base cost

Let's walk through a real example of how waste is calculated:

resources:

requests:

memory: 500Mi

cpu: 100m

limits:

memory: 2Gi # 4x over

cpu: 500m # 5x over

Limit: 2048 MB

Request: 500 MB

Safe buffer (1.5x): 750 MB

Waste: 1298 MB (1.27 GB)

Cost: 1.27 GB × $7.20 = $9.14/month

Limit: 500m (0.5 cores)

Request: 100m (0.1 cores)

Safe buffer (1.5x): 150m (0.15 cores)

Waste: 350m (0.35 cores)

Cost: 0.35 × $21.60 = $7.56/month

$9.14 + $7.56 = $16.70/month

× 12 months = $200.40/year

Why 1.5x buffer?

We assume you need some headroom above requests for traffic spikes. A 1.5x buffer is industry standard.

Our pricing is based on on-demand, pay-as-you-go rates averaged across AWS EC2, GCP Compute Engine, and Azure Virtual Machines.

These are conservative estimates. Your actual costs may be higher (spot/preemptible instances could be lower).
