CCU Cost Estimator
Estimate monthly server hosting costs for your multiplayer game based on concurrent users, architecture, tick rate, and cloud provider.
Multiplayer game server costs depend on many factors: how many players are online simultaneously (CCU), your server architecture, tick rate, packet size, and which cloud provider you use. This estimator models costs across AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, and Hetzner so you can budget before committing to infrastructure.
