Free cost audit

What would your infrastructure cost on Selfhost.dev?

RDS bill doubled? Egress and IOPS creeping up? Tell us what you run today. A real engineer (not a bot) maps it to Selfhost.dev and replies with a line-by-line comparison: what moves, what it costs and where the savings are. Free, whether or not you switch.

01
Tick what you pay for today
What is on the bill, and roughly what it costs a month. Two taps: that alone is enough for a comparison to come back.
02
Add the detail, if you want it line by line
Engines, instance types, storage, region and what runs alongside, in plain words. Managed PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis or ClickHouse on AWS where it fits, and your apps on a project server billed by the hour.
03
A founder replies, personally
A line-by-line comparison from their own inbox, usually within two working days, that you can sanity-check against our public benchmarks and pricing calculator.
your cost audit

What do you run, and what does it cost you?

Two taps and an email is enough to get a comparison back. The more you add, the more of it is line by line rather than approximate.

01 What are you paying for today?

Tick everything on the bill. Most are two or three.

02 Roughly what does that cost a month?

The band is enough. It is the "before" total the comparison is built against.

03 Where should the comparison go?

A founder reads every one of these and replies from their own inbox, usually within two working days. No newsletter.

Cost audit FAQ

Is the cost audit really free?
Yes. The Selfhost.dev infrastructure cost audit is free whether or not you switch, with no card and no obligation.
Who does the audit, a bot or a person?
A real engineer maps your stack to Selfhost.dev and replies with a line-by-line comparison, usually within a couple of days.
What do I need to send?
Two clicks: what you pay for today and roughly how much. Add instance types, storage and what runs alongside if you want the reply line by line; a rough list is enough, we ask if anything is unclear.
Will you share or spam my details?
No. Your details stay with us and are never shared. You get one reply with your numbers, sanity-checkable against our pricing and benchmarks.
