Fly.io vs Scaleway

Fly.io is strongest for full-stack apps needing global low latency. Scaleway is strongest for european data residency / GDPR-sensitive workloads. Here's how they stack up on price, uptime, and support.

Feature	Fly.io	Scaleway
Starting price	$0.01/mo	$0.01/mo
Best for	Full-stack apps needing global low latency Docker-native deploys Small teams wanting per-second billing Postgres close to compute	European data residency / GDPR-sensitive workloads Startups and SMBs GPU/AI workloads Kubernetes
Stated uptime SLA	No blanket platform SLA published; Enterprise support plans include custom SLAs	99.9% to 99.99% depending on product tier
Storage	SSD	SSD
Regions	35	3
Managed Kubernetes	Yes	Yes
Support channels	Community forum, Docs, Ticket (paid support plans), Enterprise Slack (Enterprise plan)	Ticket, Docs, Community Slack, Status page
Compliance	SOC 2	GDPR, ISO 27001, SecNumCloud (French sovereign cloud qualification, select regions), HDS (health data hosting, France)
Hidden costs to watch for	Machine prices vary by region -- the reference/base rates in this dataset are for the Amsterdam (ams) region; several regions carry a price premium Extra RAM beyond a preset's base allocation is billed separately (~$5 per 30 days per additional GB, prorated per-second) Stopped Machines still incur a rootfs storage charge of $0.15/GB per month Volume snapshots are billed at $0.08/GB per month above the first 10GB free per month Dedicated (non-shared) egress IPs are billed hourly (~$0.005/hr, ~$3.60/mo) in addition to the free shared IPv4 Cross-region private networking traffic is billed per GB and varies sharply by region group (Africa/India up to $0.12/GB egress) Wildcard/extra SSL certificates beyond the first 10 free per org are billed monthly	Public internet egress from Object Storage: 75 GB free per month, then EUR 0.01/GB Windows Server licensing surcharge on POP2-*-WIN instance variants (roughly 2.5x the equivalent Linux instance price) Dedicated Kubernetes control plane is a paid add-on (~EUR 80/month) above the free mutualized control plane if higher SLA/isolation is needed Snapshot storage for Block Storage billed separately per GB-hour Glacier (cold) Object Storage restoration fee: EUR 0.009/GB
