A transparent pricing guide for cloud migration based on 500+ projects we have delivered. Real numbers, not marketing ranges.
Quick answer: Cloud migration costs $10,000–$300,000+ depending on infrastructure complexity, data volume, and compliance requirements. A simple lift-and-shift migration costs $10K–$40K. A re-platforming project runs $40K–$120K. Full cloud-native modernization costs $120K–$300K+. Want a tailored estimate? Talk to us →
$10K–$40K
Move existing workloads to cloud VMs with minimal changes. Basic networking and security setup.
4–8 weeks
$40K–$120K
Migrate to managed services (RDS, ECS), containerization, updated CI/CD, and monitoring.
8–18 weeks
$120K–$200K
Decompose monolith into microservices, serverless, event-driven architecture, auto-scaling.
18–32 weeks
$200K–$300K+
Multi-cloud strategy, compliance (FedRAMP, HIPAA), disaster recovery, and zero-downtime migration.
6–12 months
A single monolithic app is simpler to migrate than a distributed system with 20+ services, multiple databases, and legacy dependencies. Complexity can double migration costs.
Migrating 100 GB is quick. Migrating 10+ TB requires transfer acceleration, data validation, and potentially physical data transfer — adding $10K–$30K.
Scheduled-downtime migrations are 40–60% cheaper. Zero-downtime migrations require blue-green deployment, data sync, and rollback planning, adding $15K–$40K.
HIPAA, PCI, or FedRAMP compliance in the cloud requires specific configurations, encryption, and audit trails — adding $15K–$40K.
Same-engine migration (PostgreSQL to RDS) is simpler. Cross-engine migration (Oracle to PostgreSQL) requires schema conversion and query rewriting — $10K–$35K.
Training your team on cloud services, IaC, and new deployment workflows costs $5K–$15K but prevents long-term operational issues.

Practical steps we use with clients to control scope and spend.
Plan for discovery, a realistic MVP, and a 15–20% contingency before you lock a number for cloud migration. Scope changes and integrations are where estimates drift — we help you sequence work so you fund value in the right order.
Share your goals and timeline — we will map scope, options, and a clear investment range.
