About us
About DeployCue
DeployCue compares cloud-infrastructure pricing - GPU, LLM, VPS, storage, Kubernetes, CDN, and egress - across providers worldwide, with a transparent ranking methodology and free cost tools, so developers, ML teams, and founders can pick on price and fit.
DeployCue is an independent cloud-infrastructure price comparison site. We help developers, machine-learning teams, and founders find the right cloud provider through structured pricing data, normalized side-by-side comparisons, and free tools - without paywalls or account requirements.
Why we built this
Comparing cloud providers is harder than it should be. Pricing is scattered across product pages, calculators, and per-region tables. Units differ from provider to provider. Marketing copy obscures what an instance, a token, or a gigabyte of egress actually costs. We built DeployCue so engineers have one place to compare cloud pricing across GPUs, LLM inference, VPS instances, object storage, and more, and choose a provider on the numbers.
Our editorial focus is price transparency. We cover cloud providers worldwide and apply the same normalization to every offering, so readers can compare on substance rather than marketing.
How we operate
Pricing methodology
Rankings are produced by our internal methodology. We collect prices from provider APIs and published price pages, normalize them to a common unit and to USD, and record price history over time. Sponsored placements are labelled wherever they appear so readers can always tell paid and editorial content apart.
Published criteria
Our ranking criteria are public. The Methodology page explains where pricing comes from, how it is normalized, how often it is refreshed, and how rankings and price history are built. Every offering on the site is treated the same way so readers can see exactly what is being compared.
Free tools for builders
The cost calculators, the provider-match quiz, the blog, and the glossary are all free to use. No account is needed and there are no paywalls. The tools are designed to support developers, ML teams, and founders from their first provider search through ongoing capacity decisions.
What you can do on the site
- Compare providers on price, regions, hardware, and product coverage across GPU, LLM, compute, and storage.
- Take the provider-match quiz to surface providers that match your priorities - price, GPU availability, region coverage, or product breadth.
- Use the calculators to estimate monthly compute spend, GPU-hour costs, token costs, storage and egress, and other everyday infrastructure scenarios.
- Read explainers in the blog and glossary on topics like instance types, egress pricing, spot capacity, and how cloud providers bill.
Sponsorships and advertising
We offer two types of commercial placement, both clearly labelled:
- Sponsored provider placements. Cloud providers may pay to appear in clearly labelled Sponsored positions on comparison pages, category hubs, quiz results, and the homepage. Sponsored cards are visually distinct from organic results.
- Display advertising. We display advertisements on certain pages of the site, including comparison pages, content pages, and calculator tools. Display ads are visually distinct from editorial content.
How we make money
We have three disclosed revenue streams:
- Affiliate commissions. When you sign up with a cloud provider through one of our links, we may earn a referral commission at no cost to you.
- Sponsored placements. Providers can pay for clearly labelled placements on our comparison pages.
- Display advertising. Display ads are served on comparison pages, content pages, and tool pages.
