Free tools for AI & infrastructure cost.

Practical, no-signup tools that help you estimate and reduce what your product costs to run — built by the team that does this for clients.

LLM / AI API cost calculator

Estimate your monthly AI API bill from tokens-per-request and volume, compare Claude / GPT-4o / other models side by side, and see how much model routing and prompt caching could save. Every price is editable.

Microservices vs monolith decision tool

Answer 7 questions and get an honest, weighted recommendation — monolith, modular monolith, or microservices — with the exact signals behind it. Most startups don't need microservices yet; this tells you if you're one that does.

AI cost-per-user & margin calculator

Enter your per-user AI usage and what you charge to see your AI cost per user, gross margin, and whether your AI feature is actually profitable.

Check my margin →

Token count & cost estimator

Paste any prompt or text to estimate its token count and the cost to run it across Claude, GPT-4o and other models — per call and per month.

Estimate tokens →

Cloud cost-to-scale estimator

Estimate your monthly infrastructure cost from users and usage, then project it at 10× and 100× scale — compute, database and bandwidth, all editable.

Project my bill →

Server capacity calculator

Enter peak traffic and per-request latency to get how many server instances you need — with utilization headroom so you're not at the redline.

Size my fleet →

Concurrency & throughput calculator

Little's Law in your browser: convert between requests per second, latency and concurrent in-flight requests — plus a concurrent-users-to-RPS helper.

Run the numbers →

Database connection pool calculator

Size your connection pool from peak load and query time — and find out whether you're connection-starved or about to exhaust your database's limit.

Size my pool →

Caching ROI calculator

Estimate the monthly cost and latency a cache would save on a hot path — and whether it pays for itself — from volume, hit rate and backend cost.

Is it worth it? →

Uptime / SLA downtime calculator

Convert any availability target like 99.9% into allowed downtime per day, week, month and year — and back again — plus your monthly error budget.

Calculate downtime →

Microservices readiness scorecard

Score your readiness across CI/CD, testing, observability, on-call and IaC — and see the specific gaps to close before you split into services.

Score my readiness →

Cost-of-a-rewrite estimator

Put a number on a re-architecture — direct engineering cost plus the opportunity cost of features you won't ship — so you can weigh it against designing for scale up front.

Estimate the cost →
