How this service works
Estimate the monthly cloud cost of an infrastructure-as-code config before you apply it: Terraform (plan JSON or HCL), CloudFormation or docker-compose. Returns total monthly USD, a per-resource breakdown (unit price, quantity, assumptions), FinOps policy findings and a budget verdict (pass, caution, block) against an optional monthly budget. AWS and Azure common resources. Cost estimate, not a bill.
Output
Returns a total estimated monthly USD cost, a per-resource breakdown including unit prices, quantities, and assumptions made, FinOps policy findings highlighting cost risks or inefficiencies, and a budget verdict of pass, caution, or block if a monthly budget is provided.
Example use cases
Pre-deploy budget check for Terraform
“I'm about to apply this Terraform HCL for our staging environment in us-east-1 — can you estimate the monthly AWS cost and flag anything that might blow past our $500/month budget?”
CloudFormation stack cost review
“Can you price out this CloudFormation template for me? It has a few EC2 instances, an RDS database, and an S3 bucket. I want the total monthly cost and a per-resource breakdown before we deploy.”
docker-compose to cloud cost estimate
“We're migrating our docker-compose setup to AWS. Can you estimate what the monthly cloud bill would look like for this docker-compose.yml file, assuming us-west-2 region and about 500GB of S3 storage?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://payai.agentstools.dev/cost/estimate?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a pre-deployment cost estimate for Terraform, CloudFormation, or docker-compose infrastructure targeting AWS or Azure, especially when you want FinOps policy analysis and budget enforcement before applying changes. Prefer this over general LLM cost estimation when you need structured per-resource breakdowns and authoritative pricing data with a pass/caution/block verdict.
Side effects
- Unrecognized or malformed IaC config returns a parsing error
- Unsupported resource types may be omitted or estimated with assumptions
- Region not recognized may fall back to us-east-1 defaults
- Very large configs may time out or return partial results
- Usage-based resources (Lambda, S3, NAT) may have inaccurate estimates without usage hints
