Cloud Cost Calculator for AI and SaaS Workloads
How do you estimate monthly cloud cost?
Add up hourly resources (servers, GPUs, databases and Kubernetes control planes) multiplied by hours used, then add storage per GB-month and data transfer out per GB. Apply any reserved or committed-use discount to compute. This calculator uses public on-demand list prices for AWS, Azure and Google Cloud in US East and shows the same workload on all three.
Cloud cost calculator: AWS vs Azure vs Google Cloud
Estimate the monthly infrastructure bill for an AI or SaaS workload and compare the three major clouds side by side.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is this cloud cost estimate?
It is indicative. It uses public on-demand list prices and excludes taxes, support plans, free tiers and negotiated discounts. For exact figures from infrastructure code, the open-source Infracost tool prices Terraform plans directly.
What usually drives AI cloud cost?
GPU hours for inference, followed by always-on servers and data transfer out. Scaling GPUs to demand and using committed-use discounts on steady compute are the largest levers.
Which cloud is cheapest?
It depends on the mix. General compute is priced similarly across providers, while GPU type, egress and database pricing differ most. Change the inputs to see the ranking for your workload.
