Storage Pricing, Compared Side-by-Side
Compare IQ is a pricing intelligence platform for side-by-side comparison across Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and platform providers.
Compare hyperscalers to hyperscalers, platform providers to hyperscalers, and pricing tiers within each environment, using a single, consistent model.
Model identical workloads across environments to show exactly how pricing, usage, and storage economics compare, starting with backup and archive workloads.
Generate clear, customer-facing, sales-ready outputs your team can use directly in pricing conversations.
Who is Compare IQ built for?
Multi-Cloud & Alternative Storage Comparisons
Amazon | Azure | Google Cloud | Other Providers
Scenario
Modeling
Test pricing assumptions instantly
Configure. Compare. Decide.
Turn pricing complexity into structured, comparable outcomes
Pricing across Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud is difficult to compare, due to fragmented pricing models, variable access patterns, and hidden cost drivers such as egress and retrieval.
Compare IQ is a pricing intelligence platform that standardizes these variables using workload-based modeling—so every comparison starts from the same foundation.
Model identical workloads across hyperscalers and platform providers to show exactly how pricing, usage, and storage economics compare in real-world scenarios.
Show customers what they’ll actually pay—before it becomes a problem
-
Model real usage and access patterns
-
Surface hidden cost drivers like egress and retrieval
-
Compare options side by side across cloud and alternative storage
-
Deliver clear, customer-ready outputs sellers can use immediately
Guide pricing conversations earlier, align stakeholders faster, and move decisions forward with clarity.
Make storage pricing decisions with clarity
Everything you need to compare, model, and present pricing—using a single, consistent approach.
Compare IQ brings hyperscaler and platform provider pricing into one structured view, models real-world workloads starting with backup and archive, and turns complex pricing into clear outputs your team can use in customer conversations.

Who Compare IQ Supports
Compare IQ empowers sellers to lead complex pricing conversations early, aligning revenue, finance, and technical teams around clear, defensible decisions before the quote.
From first conversation to final decision, every team works from the same pricing truth
Sales
Model infrastructure assumptions before proposals are finalized. Lead customer conversations with clear, structured comparisons. Defend pricing with confidence.
Revenue Leaders
Bring pricing clarity into deals earlier in the sales cycle. Reduce uncertainty and improve deal strategy. Increase win rates by guiding customers with confidence.
Finance
Understand true cost implications across providers before commitments are made. Validate assumptions and ensure pricing is accurate and defensible. Bring financial discipline into early-stage decisions.
Architecture & Platform Teams
Understand how technical decisions impact total cost. Evaluate trade-offs before locking in architecture. Align technical design with commercial outcomes.
Modern cloud pricing is not built for comparison
Modern infrastructure decisions depend on comparison, but the tools used to evaluate them do not support it.
Teams are forced to piece together spreadsheets, provider calculators, and architecture assumptions just to understand cost.
As a result, pricing conversations slow down, assumptions become inconsistent, and decisions are harder to defend.
Provider Calculators
-
Built to estimate a single provider, not compare alternatives.
-
Results reflect vendor assumptions, not neutral analysis.
Spreadsheets
-
Flexible but fragile.
-
Models break, assumptions drift, and outputs are difficult to defend to customers.
CPQ Systems
-
Designed to generate quotes after decisions are made.
-
By the time CPQ is used, pricing and architecture trade-offs are already locked in.
Architecture Diagrams
-
Show how systems are built, not what they cost.
-
Technical decisions are disconnected from commercial impact.
Compare IQ makes pricing comparable before decisions are locked in
Compare IQ enables teams to align assumptions, compare options side by side, and model real pricing scenarios early in the deal.
