A different workload can change the order, so enter your own numbers in the estimator."},{"question":"How is the estimate worked out?","answer":"Each vendor is priced on its cheapest plan that lists a rate for every line of the workload: the plan fee plus each usage line, after any free or included amount. A plan's monthly minimum counts as a floor. Volume tiers are applied in order. Taxes, discounts and committed-use deals are left out."},{"question":"How current are these prices?","answer":"Every rate was read off the vendor's own pricing page on 2026-10-25 and links to it. Prices change often: check the vendor's page before you commit, and tell us if a number here is out of date."}]}
