What would your AWS bill cost on UpCloud?
Net of the engineer time to run it. Drop in one month of your AWS cost export and get every instance, volume, bucket and managed service priced on UpCloud list prices, every service graded by effort, and a one-off cost with a payback month.
- Every server matched to a real type
- Standby, backups and engineer hours included
- A likely range, not a single number
Three modelled AWS accounts on UpCloud
Typical service mixes at three sizes, run through the same estimator as a real report with default assumptions. Not customer data.
Early-stage SaaS
A few web nodes, a Postgres pair, Redis, S3 and a CDN.
−$27,474 a year
more than today on a $2,981/mo bill: engineer time outweighs the hardware saving
Scale-up on Kubernetes
EKS, several Postgres instances, Kafka, OpenSearch and tens of TB of egress.
$43,110 a year
kept from a $24,950/mo bill, 14% less, engineer time included
Data-heavy platform
Hundreds of TB in storage, Redshift, streaming, a GPU box and heavy egress.
$62,943 a year
kept from a $79,640/mo bill, 7% less, engineer time included
What moves, and what it becomes on UpCloud
The services a typical AWS bill is made of, graded by effort: 4 Easy, 10 Moderate, 2 Hard. On a real report each line carries your own cost and the ratio or usage model behind the figure.
| Service | Effort | On UpCloud |
|---|---|---|
| EC2 | Easy | UpCloud Cloud Native servers or UpCloud Dedicated Servers |
| S3 | Easy | UpCloud Managed Object Storage (S3-compatible) |
| RDS | Moderate | PostgreSQL / MySQL on UpCloud Cloud Native servers (Patroni or replicas, pgBackRest), or an UpCloud Managed Database |
| Data Transfer | Easy | UpCloud included traffic |
| Lambda | Moderate | Knative on UpCloud Managed Kubernetes, or long-running services on UpCloud Cloud Native servers |
| CloudFront | Moderate | Cloudflare or Bunny CDN in front of UpCloud |
| DynamoDB | Hard | ScyllaDB or PostgreSQL (JSONB) with a data-model rewrite |
| ElastiCache | Moderate | Valkey on UpCloud Cloud Native servers, or an UpCloud Managed Database |
| EKS | Moderate | UpCloud Managed Kubernetes |
| Elastic Load Balancing | Easy | UpCloud Managed Load Balancer or HAProxy / Traefik |
| CloudWatch | Moderate | Prometheus + Grafana + Loki on UpCloud Cloud Native servers |
| MSK | Moderate | Redpanda on UpCloud Cloud Native servers, or an UpCloud Managed Database |
| OpenSearch Service | Moderate | Self-hosted OpenSearch cluster, or an UpCloud Managed Database |
| Redshift | Hard | ClickHouse on UpCloud Dedicated Servers |
| SES | Moderate | Postmark / Mailgun / Resend, or self-hosted Postal with clean IPs |
| Bedrock | Moderate | Anthropic / OpenAI / Mistral APIs directly, or open models on GPU UpCloud Dedicated Servers |
Read the AWS worked example for a full file taken end to end. Easy: a drop-in replacement. Moderate: the same software, self-hosted, so you patch, back up and fix it. Hard: no equivalent; redesign it, buy a SaaS, or leave it where it is. The full map, with every ratio and its derivation, is on the model page.
About UpCloud
Finland (Helsinki), Sweden (Stockholm), Netherlands (Amsterdam), Germany (Frankfurt), UK (London), Spain (Madrid), Poland (Warsaw), US (Chicago, New York, San Jose), Singapore, Australia (Sydney)
A Finnish cloud with twelve zones in Europe, the US, Singapore and Sydney, priced in EUR the same everywhere. Cloud Native servers with a dedicated vCPU share, fast MaxIOPS storage, managed Kubernetes, managed databases, object storage and a managed load balancer, and no egress metering. Choose UpCloud when you want a managed layer under EU jurisdiction with a US and APAC presence; per-server prices are between Hetzner and Scaleway, and the fast disk is priced above both.

How to get your AWS export
- 1Export one month: a CUR 2.0 or FOCUS Data Export, or a Cost Explorer CSV.

Questions we get asked
- 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.
Your AWS bill on UpCloud, in under a minute.
One month of a cost export is enough. It is read in your browser and never uploaded; only the number comes out. If the honest answer is “stay”, the report says so.
