What would your cloud bill cost on Hetzner?
Net of the engineer time to run it, on Hetzner or eight other providers. Drop in one month of an AWS, Google Cloud, Azure or Oracle Cloud cost export.
What would your cloud bill cost on Hetzner?
- Your workload priced on Hetzner · every instance mapped to a real server, storage and traffic included
- A net number · whole servers, standbys, backups and the hours to run it, with a range
- Every service graded · Easy, Moderate or Hard, with a replacement and the one-off cost
Nothing leaves your browser. How that works
The export is read on your machine by DuckDB-WASM; there is no upload and no server-side parsing. We record that a report was run, nothing about its contents. If you ask for the PDF, we receive your email and company name and nothing else. Your last report is kept in this browser’s storage so you can come back to it; a copied link carries the report inside the link itself, so share it as you would the export. Hetzner list prices of 17 Oct 2026, linked to their source. No affiliate or referral relationship with any provider.

How it works
1Export one month
A cost export from AWS, Google Cloud, Azure or Oracle Cloud; FOCUS files work too.
2Every line is mapped
Instances become Hetzner servers, storage becomes Hetzner Volumes and Hetzner Object Storage, traffic is set against the allowance.
3Engineer time is added
Hours by effort grade and per server, at a rate you can change. The part most calculators leave out.
4You get a net number
Every service graded Easy, Moderate or Hard with a replacement, on Hetzner list prices of 17 Oct 2026.
Questions we get asked
Who is this for?
Teams spending roughly five figures a month or more on AWS, Google Cloud or Azure, with a workload that is mostly servers, databases and storage, and someone who can own infrastructure. Also founders and finance leads who want a defensible number before the conversation with engineering.
Who is it not for?
Teams whose bill is mostly serverless, proprietary managed services or AI APIs; workloads that need multi-region failover by contract; and bills so small that an hour of engineer time outweighs the saving. The report will tell you if that is you.
What file do I upload?
One month of a cost export: an AWS Cost and Usage Report (CUR 2.0 or legacy, CSV or Parquet) or a Cost Explorer CSV, a Google Cloud BigQuery billing export saved as CSV, or an Azure Cost Management export. “Where do I get this file?” next to the upload box has the exact clicks for each.
Is my data uploaded?
No. The file is read inside this browser tab by DuckDB-WASM and never leaves it; you can watch the network tab while it runs. The only thing we ever receive is the address you type if you email yourself the link, plus anonymous counts of what was used.
How accurate is this?
Servers, storage and traffic are priced from your actual usage at list prices, so that part is as good as the price list. Managed services without a usage model (queues, search, analytics) are priced by a ratio from our service map and carry ±50%. Engineer time is an assumption you can edit. The report shows what share of the figure is priced from usage and gives a likely range rather than a single number. A Cost Explorer CSV has service totals only, so hosts are estimated from spend, roughly ±25%.
Can I move only part of it?
Yes, and that is often the right first step. Storage and egress-heavy workloads move easily and save the most per hour of effort; a managed database or a serverless stack can stay where it is. Filter the services table by grade to see what moves cleanly.
What about compliance and latency?
Every destination publishes GDPR documentation and most hold ISO 27001; SOC 2 reports and HIPAA agreements are rarer, so check that provider’s trust page before planning. On latency: for European users, moving from an EU hyperscaler region to Falkenstein, Gravelines, Paris or Amsterdam changes little; for US users choose a US location. A CDN in front stays as it is; the report prices it separately.
Why is Hetzner so much cheaper?
It sells servers, not a platform. It owns its data centres and hardware, runs a short catalogue in a handful of locations, includes traffic instead of billing per GB, and offers almost no managed services, so there is no managed-service margin in the price. You take on the work the hyperscaler was doing: patching, backups, failover, on-call. That is why this calculator adds engineer time on top and shows the net figure.
