Compare Cloud Server Pricing

Compare selected current cloud compute products. Rows are grouped by vCPU for navigation, but RAM, storage, architecture, service model, and product requirements vary, so they are not hardware-equivalent quotes.

Comparison scenario

The fixed monthly scenario runs each configuration fully active for 720 hours (2,592,000 seconds). Usage-priced serverless rows continuously bill their listed vCPU and memory allocation for the full scenario. Regions are the documented location closest to Atlanta, GA, or the closest reproducible alternative:

  • Small scenario - 2 vCPU configurations
  • Medium scenario - 4 vCPU configurations
  • Large scenario - 8 vCPU configurations

The scenario excludes free grants and temporary promotions where noted. Native hourly, per-second, monthly, GB/GiB, currency, tax, allocation, and region terms are preserved; displayed EUR totals use a fixed EUR 1 = USD 1.11 comparison rate.

Compute value map

Lower monthly cost per advertised vCPU is better; higher provider-advertised RAM per vCPU is better. The shaded quadrant meets both active medians, and outlined marks are on the active Pareto frontier.
