title: Instances Pricing Documentation | Cloud Cost Handbook

The [Instances](https://instances.vantage.sh) pricing tool shows current pricing for AWS EC2, RDS, and ElastiCache instances. The tool is completely [open source](https://github.com/vantage-sh/ec2instances.info) and uses the same Amazon APIs available to everyone. Development for Instances is coordinated through [Slack](https://instances.vantage.sh/) as well as on Github.

Instances has a small number of tools for comparing cloud instance pricing and making the best choice for your workload.
[EC2Instances.info](https://instances.vantage.sh) shows current pricing for AWS EC2, RDS, and ElastiCache instances. The tool is completely [open source](https://github.com/vantage-sh/ec2instances.info) and uses the same Amazon APIs available to everyone. Development for Instances is coordinated through the [Vantage Slack](https://vantage.sh/slack/) as well as on [Github](https://github.com/vantage-sh/ec2instances.info).

## Why?

Because it's frustrating to compare instances using Amazon's own [instance type](http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/), [pricing](http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/), and other pages.

## Columns and Filters

The table, with its filters applied, sorted, and with columns shown and hidden, can be exported exactly as a CSV. Data for EC2 is also available for free from the [Vantage API](https://vantage.readme.io/reference/general).

## Azure Support (Beta)

[Azure VM types pricing and comparison](https://instances.vantage.sh/azure) is also available (Beta). Switch to Azure in the bottom left corner of the page.
