Cost Calculator

Know what you'll pay before you spend

Enter an actor ID and get a complete cost breakdown: PPE price per event, average compute cost per run, average events per run, and volume projections from 1x to 100x. Based on real run history, not theoretical estimates.

What it checks

PPE pricing extraction

Reads the actor's current pay-per-event configuration: event name, price per event, and description.

Compute cost analysis

Analyzes the last 20 successful runs for average duration, memory usage, and platform cost per run.

Volume projections

Projects costs at 1x, 2x, 5x, 10x, 50x, and 100x your estimated monthly runs with PPE and compute separated.

Real usage data

Average events per run calculated from actual charge history — not theoretical, but real data from production runs.

No actor runs triggered

Reads metadata and run history only. The analysis itself costs $0.20 — no surprise compute charges.

Compare actors

Run the calculator on two competing actors to see which is cheaper at your expected volume.
