Question 1

Which cloud providers are included in the price comparison?

Accepted Answer

The tool covers AWS, Google Cloud (GCP), Microsoft Azure, DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Linode (Akamai), Vultr, OVHcloud, and Scaleway across compute, GPU, storage, and egress categories.

Question 2

Does the tool show spot instance pricing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Spot Prices tab shows current AWS spot prices per instance type and region. The Spot Advisor tab adds interruption frequency bands and estimated savings versus on-demand rates.

Question 3

How do I compare reserved instance vs on-demand vs savings plan pricing?

Accepted Answer

Use the pricing type toggle on the Compute tab to switch between On-Demand, Reserved 1yr, Reserved 3yr, Savings Plan 1yr, Savings Plan 3yr, and Spot. The table and stat cards update instantly.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Yes. The LLM Pricing tab lists input and output token prices per million tokens for models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Cohere, Meta, AWS Bedrock, and Azure OpenAI.

Question 5

What is datacenter PUE and why does it matter for cloud cost?

Accepted Answer

PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) measures how efficiently a datacenter uses energy — a PUE of 1.0 is perfect, meaning all power goes to compute. Lower PUE means lower overhead energy costs and a smaller carbon footprint. The Datacenter PUE tab shows PUE and WUE values per region for AWS, GCP, Azure, OVHcloud, and Scaleway.

Question 6

Is the tool free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The cloud price comparison tool is completely free. No account, login, or credit card is required.

Accepted Answer

Prices can be displayed in USD, EUR, INR, and CNY. Use the currency selector in the top-right corner of the tool.

Question 8

How is this different from the AWS pricing calculator?

Accepted Answer

The AWS pricing calculator only covers AWS. This tool covers 9 providers simultaneously, includes LLM API costs, GPU instances, spot advisor data, object storage egress fees, and datacenter sustainability metrics — all in one sortable, filterable interface.
