Snippet · Shipping & running it
What will this cost to run?
Ask before the bill, not after it.
Here is what I'm building: <describe, including anything that calls a paid API or model> Estimate the monthly cost at 10 users, 1,000 users and 100,000 users. Show the arithmetic so I can check it and change the assumptions. Then: - Which line grows fastest, and what makes it grow? - What's the cheapest change that halves the biggest line? - Where could a bug or a bored stranger run the bill up, and what limit stops that?
The last question is the one that matters. Unmetered API calls behind a public form is a way to fund someone else's project with your card.
