Cost Comparison
Why Cloud Costs Vary
Compute
Instance pricing by vCPU and RAM varies by generation, commitment term, and geographic region. On-demand rates are the published baseline. Reserved instances for 1 or 3 years typically cut compute costs by 30-60%. Pico Public Cloud uses a transparent per-month formula with no hourly metering surprises.
Storage
Block storage is billed per GB-month regardless of utilization. High-performance NVMe drives command a premium over SAS HDD. Pico offers both tiers at flat per-GB rates. Hyperscaler storage costs can vary significantly by region and IOPS/throughput provisioning.
Network Egress
Data transferred out of a cloud region is charged per GB-typically $0.08-0.09/GB for the first 10 TB/month. High-bandwidth workloads such as video delivery, large file transfers, or data replication can generate egress bills that exceed compute costs.Pico Public Cloud does not charge for egress. Bandwidth is included in the flat monthly connection fee.
Why Bangladesh-Region Hosting Matters
Hyperscalers serve Bangladesh from regions in Mumbai (40-80ms latency) or Singapore (60-100ms latency). Pico Public Cloud's data centers in Kaliakair and Jashore deliver 2-5ms latency, providing a measurably faster experience for local users and applications. Cross-border data also introduces currency conversion costs and regulatory considerations that a local cloud provider eliminates.
Beyond latency, hosting locally means your data remains under Bangladeshi jurisdiction, support teams operate in the same business hours (BST), and billing is in BDT-no forex markups on your monthly cloud bill. For enterprises with data sovereignty requirements, a Bangladesh-based cloud is not just a performance advantage but a compliance necessity.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this comparison work?
We calculate monthly costs for each provider based on your specified vCPU, RAM, storage, bandwidth, and instance count. Pico costs use our published formula-based pricing. Hyperscaler costs use representative on-demand rates from their closest region to Bangladesh (Mumbai for AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI; Singapore for Huawei Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, and DigitalOcean). Costs are estimates and should be verified with formal quotes for production workloads.
How accurate are these estimates?
Compute estimates are typically within 10-15% of actual bills for simple workloads. Accuracy decreases with complexity due to factors like reserved instance terms, negotiated enterprise discounts, specific instance generations, storage IOPS provisioning, and managed service premiums. Pico prices are exact formula-based rates. Hyperscaler rates are fetched live from provider APIs where available and fall back to published on-demand pricing otherwise.
Why doesn't Pico Public Cloud charge for egress?
Pico's network model bundles bandwidth into a flat monthly connection fee rather than metering per-GB egress. This means your bandwidth costs are fully predictable regardless of how much data you transfer. For data-intensive workloads, this alone can reduce total cloud costs by 30-50% compared to hyperscalers that charge $0.08-0.09/GB for data leaving their network.
Can I migrate existing hyperscaler workloads to Pico?
Yes. Pico supports standard cloud migration patterns including lift-and-shift, re-platforming, and hybrid cloud architectures. Our solutions team provides free architecture reviews and migration planning. Contact sales to discuss your specific workload requirements.
What commitment options does Pico offer?
Currently Pico offers monthly billing with no upfront commitment. Reserved instances (1-year and 3-year terms) are coming soon and will offer significant savings over on-demand pricing for stable, predictable workloads.
How do I get started with Pico Public Cloud?
Sign up for a free account at console.picopublic.cloud for a 15-day trial with BDT 20,000 credit, whichever occurs first. You can use the pricing calculator to estimate your monthly costs, or contact sales for a custom proposal.
What payment methods are accepted?
We accept bank transfers, bKash, Nagad, and international credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, AMEX). Enterprise customers can request monthly invoicing with net-30 terms.
Prices are representative estimates based on live API rates where available and published on-demand rates otherwise. Actual costs vary by negotiated contracts, specific instance types, and regional pricing. Pico BDT prices converted at approximately 120 BDT/USD using Bangladesh Bank mid-rates. Hyperscaler costs are shown in their local currency (USD) and converted via the same exchange rates.
