Block Storage · $0.13/mo
Scaleway's Block Storage 15K is competitively priced at $0.13/GB/mo for high-IOPS workloads. Several providers offer lower per-GB rates ($0.01-$0.05), but most are either object storage (not block), lower-performance tiers, or carry significant hidden costs that narrow the gap. For block storage specifically with 15K IOPS, Scaleway is well-positioned, though Oracle and OVHcloud offer lower-cost alternatives if you can accept reduced performance or accept separate VPU/performance billing.
Combines $0.01/GB capacity + $0.0085/GB performance tier for a total of $0.0185/GB/mo, roughly 86% cheaper than Scaleway's 15K tier.
Caveat: 10 VPU/GB is lower performance than 15K IOPS; performance tier is billed regardless of actual I/O usage, and retrieval/restoration fees apply if you need archive tiers.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Azure | Blob Storage · Cool tier | $0.01/mo | Per GB/month, LRS. Lower storage cost, retrieval and early-deletion fees apply for objects deleted before 30 days. | Visit |
| Google Cloud | Cloud Storage · Nearline storage | $0.01/mo | $0.010/GB/month, 30-day minimum storage duration, $0.01/GB retrieval fee | Visit |
| Oracle Cloud Infrastructure | Object Storage · Infrequent Access | $0.01/mo |
At $0.05/GB/mo for 500+ IOPS, OVHcloud undercuts Scaleway by 62% and includes free egress in most regions through end-2026.
Caveat: 500 IOPS is significantly lower than 15K IOPS; after 2026 APAC egress becomes paid; billed per GB/hour with 1 GB granularity.
Flat $0.05/GB/mo for NVMe SSD with up to 20,000 IOPS included (no surcharge), matching OVHcloud's price but with higher performance ceiling than Scaleway's tier.
Caveat: Windows/SQL licensing adds undisclosed per-server surcharge only visible at checkout; bandwidth overage at $0.01/GB past pooled allowance; billed by the minute.
At $0.05/GB/mo for 1,100 static IOPS, IONOS matches the low-cost tier pricing with included throughput (200 MB/s).
Caveat: HDD (not SSD/NVMe) and only 1,100 IOPS vs 15K; outbound data transfer beyond 2TB pooled is tiered at $0.036-$0.018/GB; renewal pricing can be 2-6x higher after promo period.
