Got a $340 surprise invoice. Then I built this

WHAT IT SOLVES

Cloud pricing pages are designed to confuse. You pick a service, ship your project, and get a bill that makes no sense

WHY IT'S INTERESTING

Product taste

The categories map to real arguments

Six categories that actually matter to indie teams: LLM tokens, vector databases, VPS, image generation, payments, auth. These are the bills people fight over in standup

Real craft

Pricing pulled from provider docs, monthly

All 12 tools run client-side — nothing you type leaves the browser. No signup. Pricing is reviewed monthly against official docs, which is tedious but trustworthy

TECH GUESS

Static site, all calculators run client-side — likely vanilla JS or lightweight framework
