Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our open multi-cloud pricing index, data updates, and architectural tooling.
Q:What is Compare Cloud Costs (CCC)?
Compare Cloud Costs is an independent, normalized cloud pricing benchmark and architectural estimation platform. It ingests, maps, and standardizes compute, database, AI model, serverless, and storage prices across 25 cloud and AI providers into a single verifiable catalog.
Q:Is Compare Cloud Costs free to use?
Yes. The entire public pricing catalog, all head-to-head comparison benchmarks, and core workload calculators are 100% free with no credit card required. Advanced multimodal AI features include generous free quotas with optional marketplace-backed subscriptions for heavy automated usage.
Q:Which cloud and AI providers are covered?
The platform indexes 25 providers: Aiven, Alibaba Cloud, Anthropic, AWS, Chroma, Cloudflare, Cohere, CoreWeave, DeepSeek, DigitalOcean, Google, Grok (xAI), Huawei, IBM, Kimi (Moonshot), Lambda Labs, Microsoft Azure, Milvus (Zilliz), Mistral AI, OpenAI, Oracle, Pinecone, Qdrant, Radium, and Weaviate.
Q:How frequently is cloud pricing data refreshed?
Live pricing APIs and billing catalogs are crawled, verified, and reconciled in automated batch runs approximately once a week. Critical price changes and vendor rate adjustments are monitored and audited continuously.
Q:What is the difference between Guest mode and Signed-In accounts?
Guest users enjoy full read-only access to browse every SKU, compare cross-cloud prices, and view datacenter and compliance matrices without creating an account. Registering for a free account unlocks saving custom architectures, exporting FOCUS-compliant CSVs, and extended quotas for the AI Architect.
Q:How does the Compare Cloud Costs MCP server work?
Our official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enables AI coding agents (such as Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code) to query live multi-cloud rates, instance hardware specs, and workload trade-offs directly from conversational IDE workflows.
