Virtual Instances · $16.79/mo (4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
Scaleway's BASIC2-A2C-4G at $16.79/mo is significantly overpriced compared to competitors offering equal or better specs. Multiple providers deliver 2-4 vCPU and 2-8GB RAM for $4-6/mo, with lower renewal-price risk and more transparent billing. Unless you need Scaleway's specific region or Object Storage ecosystem, switching will save 60-75% annually.
Matches Scaleway's 4GB RAM and 2 vCPU, adds 40GB NVMe and daily backups, costs 73% less, with transparent unlimited traffic and no egress fees for EU regions.
Caveat: IPv4 address billed separately; Windows license surcharge applies if needed; APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026.
Doubles Scaleway's specs (8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 100GB SSD) for only 35% more cost, includes unlimited traffic and 200 Mbit/s port, saving 65% vs Scaleway.
Caveat: Requires 24-month prepaid contract for quoted price; 1-2 month terms cost significantly more; fair usage policy on unlimited traffic; ticket-only support on base tier.
Exceeds Scaleway (4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 40GB SSD, 20TB transfer) for 61% less, with strong 99.9% SLA and no egress charges within EU allocation.
Caveat: VAT excluded from listed price; recent large price increases on other lines (CPX/CCX up 2.4-2.75x in June 2026); traffic overage billed beyond 20TB EU pool.
Matches Scaleway's 2 vCPU and 2GB RAM, adds 80GB NVMe and unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbit/s, costs 74% less with transparent pricing.
Caveat: Intro pricing is a 3-month or 1-year promo; renewal pricing is 2-6x higher; outbound data beyond 2TB pooled allowance is tiered at $0.036-0.018/GB.
Offers 4GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 50GB NVMe, 4TB transfer for 61% less; includes weekly backups and AMD EPYC processors.
Caveat: Displayed price is intro rate on 12/24/48-month prepay; renewal jumps to $11.99/mo (85% increase); month-to-month billing is much higher; free domain only year one.
