VX1 Mem 96vCPU/768GB

$2803.2/mosave 63.9%

Flat $2803.20/mo with 10TB monthly transfer included, no sustained-use discount hunting required, and 100% network uptime SLA.

Caveat: 768GB RAM is 47% less than Google's 1433GB; bandwidth overage rates vary by data center and should be confirmed for your region.

Public Cloud r3-1024

$3649.27/mosave 53%

128 vCPU and 1024GB RAM at $3649/mo with 20 Gbps public network, 99.99% SLA, and no per-GB egress charges within EU/standard regions.

Before you switch

Verify Vultr's bandwidth overage rates for your primary data center location and confirm 768GB RAM meets your workload (47% less than Google).
Confirm OVHcloud's free-egress policy applies to your target region and check IPv4 address costs if you need multiple IPs.
Google's pricing assumes no sustained-use or committed-use discounts are applied; request a quote with 1-year or 3-year commitment to see if the gap narrows.
Evaluate egress costs carefully: Google charges per-GB beyond 200GB/month free tier, while Vultr includes 10TB and OVHcloud includes free egress in most regions.
Test latency and performance from your location before migrating, as provider network quality varies by region.
