2026-06-10How we source prices
Every number on CloudPriceBook is a published vendor list price, captured as a dated snapshot and linked to the provider's own pricing page. We never invent figures; derived numbers (like "egress for 1 TB") are transparent multiplications of a stored rate by your input. List prices change often and vary by region — always confirm on the vendor page. See our methodology.
