Free RDS cost review

Is RDS one of the bigger lines on your AWS bill? Let's find out what it should be.

Tell us roughly what you spend and how big the database is. We'll do the comparison for your numbers, not a worked example, and walk you through it on a short call.

• What the same database would cost on EC2, in your region and at your size
• Which replication mode keeps the data-loss guarantee you have today, and what it costs
• A straight answer on whether a move is worth it. If it is not, we say so
• No hosting commitment. The review stands on its own

The method is the one from our 500 GB migration, where the database line went from $13,581 to $2,326 a month. Your saving will be your own; the ratio is what carries over.
