Compare Cloud Server Pricing

Most cloud workloads will run on servers. Server pricing can vary wildly across different vendors for the same hardware. This page allows you to compare server pricing across different cloud vendors to make more informed decisions for where to host your workloads.

To keep things simple, we look at common compute configurations from each vendor in 3 sizes in the region closest to Atlanta, GA (or closest available configuration):

  • Small - 2 CPUs, 4 GB RAM
  • Medium - 4 CPUs, 8 GB RAM
  • Large - 8 CPUs, 16 GB RAM

These numbers are pulled from each vendor's official pricing pages but note that the price you see may differ a bit due to recent changes, currency conversions, taxes, region choices, etc.

Benchmark Score is `stress-ng's div16` as tested by Spare Cores.
