AI, Cloud & Developer Calculators
Price software before you build or run it. The software development cost estimator breaks an agency project into hours by feature, UI/UX design, QA, DevOps and project management, plans the sprints, and prices the team at 2026 rates in nine regions from the US to India, with pages for SaaS, mobile, MVP and AI apps and offshore vs onshore comparisons. The LLM API cost calculator works out monthly spend from requests, input and output tokens, with prompt caching, batch discounts and long-context rates, and the prompt caching calculator shows when caching pays for itself. The cloud egress cost calculator prices the same traffic on AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Cloudflare, Oracle, DigitalOcean, Linode and Hetzner, with internet egress tiers, CDN, inter-region, cross-zone and NAT gateway charges. There are pages for individual models and providers, head-to-head comparisons and common workloads. Prices come from each provider's own pricing page, with the date they were checked.

Questions about ai, cloud & developer calculators
How much does it cost to build an app with an agency?
It depends on the features, the design and testing you need, and above all where the team is: a full SaaS build comes to about $278,000 with an agency in United States and $73,500 in Philippines & Vietnam, at rates checked September 29, 2026. The software development cost estimator adds up hours by feature and role, plans the sprints and ranks nine regions on your scope, with no email asked for.
How current are the prices?
Each page shows the date the list prices were last checked against the providers' own pricing pages, and links to them. Prices change often, so confirm on the provider's page before committing to a budget.
Which cloud is cheapest for data transfer?
For bandwidth alone, Cloudflare, which charges nothing for CDN delivery or R2 egress. Among clouds that also run your servers, Hetzner, Oracle and Linode are far cheaper than AWS, Google Cloud and Azure, which start at $0.08 to $0.12 per GB. The cloud egress cost calculator ranks all eight on your own traffic.
