How it works
The calculator estimates required vCPU, RAM, and storage from each tool's documented needs and your chosen model size and scale, then picks the cheapest plan from each provider that meets that estimate. Hetzner is shown for honest comparison even though it has no affiliate program. Verify a provider's current specs and pricing before you buy.
