Hidden Cloud Costs & Optimization Calculators (2026)
Cloud providers often hide their most expensive pricing tiers, bandwidth taxes, and overage fees in the fine print. This open-source repository exposes the real compute, pipeline, and bandwidth costs of popular Developer Tools and Cloud platforms.
Below is a curated collection of 12 interactive calculators and data sets to help you optimize your infrastructure and stop overpaying.
Are you burning through your free CI/CD minutes? Compare runner costs before scaling your engineering team and avoid unexpected overage bills.

Platforms optimized for developer experience often carry massive premiums on bandwidth and database reads. Calculate your exact scaling costs.
Scaling serverless functions can lead to massive bill shocks if not optimized with proper caching. Estimate your base architecture costs here.
Don't let rate limits and image pull caps break your production deployments.
