Every simulated metric is calibrated against official cloud provider benchmarks. This page lists each benchmark source, the resource types covered, and the stated accuracy range for cost and performance estimates.
Cost Accuracy: ±10%
Simulated hourly costs stay within ±10% of official on-demand pricing from each provider's pricing calculator. Always-Free and request-billed resources use flat simulation approximations and are excluded from this check.
Performance Accuracy: ±15%
Simulated throughput, latency, IOPS, and connection-pool metrics are calibrated within ±15% of published provider specifications for the listed instance types and SKUs.
Benchmark data is sourced from official provider pricing pages and documentation as of May 2026. Prices vary by region; all rates shown are for the reference region listed beside each provider. The simulation engine applies provider-specific performance profiles and capacity-aware calculations — accuracy ranges are validated continuously via automated checks in the platform's CI pipeline.
