Step 2 Cloud migration cost comparison
→
Step 3 Automated Infrastructure migration cost and risk calculation

Problem

Small teams running SaaS or web services face hosting price hikes (Hetzner 38%, AWS annual increases, etc.) but struggle to pre-calculate the total cost of migrating to alternative hosting — including migration labor, downtime, and new fees. Poor migration decisions can increase costs by 20-40% or cause 3-5 days of downtime.

Solution

Users input their current Infrastructure configuration (server specs, traffic, storage) and receive a real-time cost comparison across 10 major cloud/VPS providers, with automatic estimates of migration complexity, expected downtime, and hidden costs (egress fees, licenses). Key differentiator: reflects Korean billing and Tax considerations (VAT, withholding Tax), and indicates domestic region availability.

Target: SaaS Startups and Solo Entrepreneurs with monthly hosting costs of 500K-5M KRW (~$375-$3,750), DevOps/Infrastructure managers
Revenue Model: Basic comparison Free, detailed migration Report at 29,000 KRW (~$22) Per Transaction, Pro Subscription at 49,000 KRW (~$37)/month (unlimited reports + price change alerts)
Ecosystem Role: Supplier
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
