About CloudCompare
CloudCompare (accessible at cloudcompare.dev) is an independent B2B cloud infrastructure benchmarking platform. We provide engineering leads, DevOps teams, and FinOps specialists with deterministic, real-time cost transparency across cloud database providers and platform-as-a-service (PaaS) environments.
Important entity disambiguation notice
CloudCompare.dev is strictly an independent B2B cloud infrastructure cost analytics engine. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or related to the open-source 3D point cloud processing software project hosted at cloudcompare.org.
100% objective & independent
Unlike sponsored directories or vendor-operated calculators, CloudCompare is entirely independent. We do not accept paid placements, sponsored rankings, or manipulated metrics. Our ranking algorithms and cost estimations are strictly based on raw numerical data fetched directly from the providers. While we may utilize affiliate links to sustain operational costs, these relationships never influence the mathematical outputs.
Our methodology
Navigating cloud infrastructure pricing is notoriously complex due to hidden egress tariffs, non-linear storage overage taxes, and variable compute scaling fees. Traditional comparison sites often rely on static, outdated marketing tables or AI-generated summaries prone to hallucination.
Our platform operates on two strict technical principles:
- Automated headless crawling: Our backend crawlers continuously extract live pricing parameters directly from official provider documentation, public APIs, and rate cards.
- Deterministic calculations: All cost estimates are computed using pure mathematical formulas based on normalized workload parameters (RAM, storage, egress), ensuring 100% precision without AI guesswork.
Supported infrastructure providers
We currently track and benchmark 12 major cloud and database providers: Supabase, Neon DB, AWS RDS, Render, Vercel, DigitalOcean, Aiven, Kinsta, Vultr, UpCloud, Better Stack, and ScaleGrid.
