You might be wondering: “AWS already offers a [DynamoDB pricing calculator](https://calculator.aws/#/createCalculator/DynamoDB/). Why create another one?”

Short answer: Because teams comparing DynamoDB costs with ScyllaDB costs report that the official AWS calculator is:

* Overly complex
* Not developer friendly
* Insufficient for estimating the costs of real-world workloads (e.g., with bursty traffic or uneven access patterns)

To enable simpler, more accurate comparisons, we designed something a bit different.

Long answer: See [the intro page](https://developers.scylladb.com/stable/getting-started/dynamodb/guides/costs/index.md).
