hzfind is a terminal utility for comparing Hetzner Server Auction machines by value rather than just headline specifications.
It fetches live auction data, correlates servers with a bundled PassMark CPU benchmark database, and lets you review the results either in an interactive text user interface or as structured JSON output suitable for scripts and further analysis.
This is free and open source software.
