Is Scaleway's Mutualized Control Plane (default, free) the best deal?

Kubernetes Kapsule · $0/mo

Best in class

Scaleway's free mutualized Kubernetes control plane is genuinely hard to beat at $0/mo entry cost. However, real-world expenses depend heavily on egress, storage snapshots, and whether you need Windows licensing or a dedicated control plane upgrade. No comparable free-tier Kubernetes offering was found in the filtered alternatives.

Before you switch

Egress costs add up fast: 75 GB free, then EUR 0.01/GB; budget for this if you have high data transfer
Windows instance variants cost ~2.5x Linux equivalents due to licensing surcharge; stick to Linux if possible
Snapshot storage is billed separately per GB-hour; monitor and clean up old snapshots regularly
Dedicated control plane costs ~EUR 80/mo if you need higher SLA or multi-tenant isolation later
Glacier restoration fees (EUR 0.009/GB) apply if you use cold Object Storage; verify your backup strategy
