About CloudEstimator.io

A free, independent cloud infrastructure cost estimation platform built by IT professionals, for IT professionals.

What Is CloudEstimator.io?

CloudEstimator.io is a free, browser-based tool that calculates enterprise cloud infrastructure costs across Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Unlike the official pricing calculators provided by each cloud vendor, our tool is designed to be provider-neutral and enables direct side-by-side comparison across all three platforms simultaneously.

The platform covers the four primary cloud cost categories that make up the majority of enterprise cloud bills: compute (virtual machine instances), storage (hot SSD, cool HDD, archive, and backup tiers), networking (egress, CDN, load balancers, and DNS), and managed services (databases, Kubernetes, security, monitoring, key management, and serverless).

Our Tools

• Cloud Estimator — Real-time cost calculator for compute, storage, networking, and managed services across AWS, Azure, and GCP with 130+ regions and 18 currency support.
• TCO Analysis — 3-year total cost of ownership comparison between on-premise infrastructure and cloud, including all hardware, staffing, licensing, and facility costs.
• Migration Calculator — Estimate one-time migration costs including engineering labor, data transfer, staff training, and consulting, with payback period analysis.
• Provider Comparison — Side-by-side pricing for identical configurations across AWS, Azure, and GCP to identify the most cost-effective provider for your workload.

How Our Pricing Data Is Sourced

All pricing data is manually sourced and verified from the official public pricing pages of each cloud provider:

• AWS: aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing, aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing, aws.amazon.com/pricing
• Azure: azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing
• GCP: cloud.google.com/pricing

Prices shown are US dollar list prices without negotiated enterprise discounts, commitment agreements, or promotional credits. Actual costs for your organization may differ based on enterprise agreements, committed use contracts, and region-specific promotions. We recommend validating all cost estimates against the official provider calculators before making budget commitments.

Prices are reviewed and updated regularly. Last major data update: January 2026.
