# Cost Estimates

> Estimated monthly costs by provider and instance type

Monthly cost estimates for running your agent team. Costs are per agent (each agent runs on its own dedicated server).

## AWS

| Instance Type | vCPU | RAM  | Est. Monthly Cost |
| ------------- | ---- | ---- | ----------------- |
| t3.small      | 2    | 2 GB | \~\$15            |
| t3.medium     | 2    | 4 GB | \~\$30            |
| t3.large      | 2    | 8 GB | \~\$60            |

**Additional costs:** EBS storage (\~\$0.08/GB/month), data transfer.

### Example: 3-Agent Team on AWS

| Component              | Cost          |
| ---------------------- | ------------- |
| 3× t3.medium instances | \$90/mo       |
| Storage (30+50+30 GB)  | \~\$9/mo      |
| **Total**              | **\~\$99/mo** |

## Hetzner (EU)

| Server Type | vCPU | RAM   | Est. Monthly Cost |
| ----------- | ---- | ----- | ----------------- |
| cx22        | 2    | 4 GB  | \~\$4             |
| cx32        | 4    | 8 GB  | \~\$7             |
| cx42        | 8    | 16 GB | \~\$14            |

## Hetzner (US)

| Server Type | vCPU | RAM   | Est. Monthly Cost |
| ----------- | ---- | ----- | ----------------- |
| cpx21       | 3    | 4 GB  | \~\$5             |
| cpx31       | 4    | 8 GB  | \~\$9             |
| cpx41       | 8    | 16 GB | \~\$16            |

### Example: 3-Agent Team on Hetzner (EU)

| Component             | Cost          |
| --------------------- | ------------- |
| 3× cx32 servers       | \$21/mo       |
| Storage (30+50+30 GB) | \~\$5/mo      |
| **Total**             | **\~\$26/mo** |

## Cost Comparison

For a typical 3-agent team (Product Manager + Engineer + QA Tester):

| Provider   | Instance  | Monthly Total |
| ---------- | --------- | ------------- |
| Hetzner EU | cx22      | \~\$17        |
| Hetzner EU | cx32      | \~\$26        |
| Hetzner US | cpx21     | \~\$20        |
| AWS        | t3.small  | \~\$54        |
| AWS        | t3.medium | \~\$99        |

<Tip>
  Hetzner offers significantly lower costs with comparable performance for most agent workloads. Consider Hetzner for development and budget-conscious teams.

<Note>
  These are estimates. Actual costs may vary based on data transfer, storage usage, and provider pricing changes. Anthropic API costs for the agents' LLM usage are separate.
