Block Storage · $0.13/mo
Scaleway's Block Storage 15K at $0.13/GB/mo is significantly more expensive than comparable offerings from Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle, and OVHcloud, which all price base storage at $0.01/GB/mo. While Scaleway offers higher IOPS (15,000), most alternatives provide competitive or superior performance at a fraction of the cost, making this plan poor value unless you specifically need Scaleway's ecosystem or PAR-1 region.
13x cheaper base storage rate with 99.99% SLA and no per-IOPS surcharge for standard workloads.
Caveat: Early-deletion penalties (30-day minimum), retrieval fees, and outbound bandwidth billed above 100 GB/month pooled free tier.
Matches Azure's base rate at $0.01/GB/mo with 99.99% SLA and 30-day minimum storage duration.
Caveat: Per-GB retrieval fees ($0.01/GB), 200 GiB/month egress free tier, and sustained-use discounts require separate enrollment.
Combines $0.01/GB capacity + ~$0.0085/GB performance tier for total ~$0.0185/GB, still 7x cheaper than Scaleway with 10 VPU/GB performance included.
Caveat: VPU performance tier is billed regardless of actual I/O used; 99.95% SLA (slightly lower than competitors).
At $0.05/GB/mo with 500+ IOPS and 99.99% SLA, OVHcloud undercuts Scaleway by 62% while offering included egress in most regions.
Caveat: APAC region free egress expires 2026-06-01/12-31; billed per GB/hour with 1 GB granularity; lower IOPS than Scaleway's 15,000.
Offers NVMe SSD with up to 20,000 IOPS (exceeds Scaleway's 15,000) at $0.05/GB/mo with no per-IOPS surcharge.
Caveat: Windows/SQL licensing surcharges only shown at checkout; bandwidth overage at $0.01/GB past 5 TB pooled allowance; 99.95% SLA.
