For cloud consultancies, AWS partners & MSPs

Price your clients' AWS architecture before it exists

CloudCostFlow models the whole system, not the parts — traffic, caching, cross-AZ, data transfer — so the number in your proposal is one you can stand behind. Win more engagements. Stop eating the overruns.

Cost Propagation

Traffic flows through your architecture like a real system. A CloudFront cache hit means fewer ALB requests, fewer EC2 cycles, fewer database queries. We model the cascade.

What-If Analysis

Double your traffic and see exactly where costs spike. Change your cache hit ratio from 80% to 95% and watch downstream costs plummet. One slider, full impact.

Per-Request Economics

Know exactly what each API call costs you — broken down by variable vs fixed components. See how per-request cost drops as you scale.

Visual Architecture

Interactive topology diagram showing every service, connection, and traffic flow. Click any node to configure it. Click any edge to adjust the flow.

Auto-Scaling Aware

EC2 auto-scaling groups calculate instance count from your traffic. Set a threshold, define min/max, and the engine figures out how many instances you'll actually run.

Data Transfer Costs

The hidden killer. Cross-AZ, cross-region, internet egress — we calculate the real data transfer costs between every service pair in your architecture.

Why Existing Tools Miss the Mark

Every other tool prices services in isolation — so your estimate is a ±50% guess with your margin riding on it. We model how they connect.

Traditional Calculators

  • Price each service independently
  • No understanding of traffic flow
  • Data transfer? Manual guesswork
  • Cache impact? Not modelled
  • "What if traffic doubles?" = start over
  • 30-70% accuracy vs reality

CloudCostFlow

  • Graph-based cost propagation
  • Traffic cascades through connected services
  • Automatic data transfer calculation
  • Cache ratios reduce downstream costs
  • Change one parameter, see full impact
  • Per-request cost breakdown at any scale

How It Works

1

Draw the client's architecture

Add the services they'll actually run — ALB, EC2, RDS, CloudFront, Lambda and more — or start from a reference architecture. Configure each with real parameters.

2

Set the traffic & flow

Requests/month, cache hit ratio, read/write split, network context (same-AZ, cross-AZ, internet) — the real-world inputs that move the number.

3

Propagate, then export

Cost lands service by service, cross-AZ and data transfer included. Change anything and watch it cascade — then hand the client a proposal you can defend.

Why I built this

“I built CloudCostFlow because I was tired of pricing architectures with brittle spreadsheets and gut feel — and tired of tools that price cloud like a parts catalogue when the real costs cascade through the system. It’s the tool I wanted every time I had to put a number in front of someone who’d hold me to it.”

— Graham, platform engineer & founder
