I'm in the process of determining which RDS instance type to switch to and I've had to have a browser open with a million tabs copying and pasting information and pricing data from AWS. Could I use steam pipe to help me with this?

I feel your pain - but Steampipe won't solve this (yet). We have AWS Thrifty [1] to scan your env for cost savings and other tables to query your spend [2], but haven't tackled the 1.8GB of pricing JSON data into a table yet.

Haha thanks for the reply. Insane how much pricing data there is, right? The least AWS can do is offer an export on the particular pricing pages!
