Virtual Instances · $75.48/mo (16 GB RAM, 8 vCPU)
Scaleway's BASIC2-A8C-16G at $75.48/mo is significantly overpriced for the specs. Multiple providers offer 8GB RAM / 4 vCPU instances at $5.94–$24.88/mo, and even a 16GB RAM option exists at $25.20/mo. Unless you specifically need Scaleway's 8 vCPU / 16GB combination, you're paying 3–12x more than comparable alternatives.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 80GB SSD, 20TB transfer included, 99.9% SLA, no renewal trap; clean pricing and reliable uptime.
Caveat: Traffic overage billed beyond 20TB EU pool; prices exclude VAT; recent large price increases on other lines (CPX/CCX).
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 240GB NVMe, unlimited traffic, 99.99% SLA; more storage and better uptime than Hetzner.
Caveat: Intro pricing; renewal is 2–6x higher after contract ends; egress beyond 2TB pooled is tiered at $0.036/GB.
Matches Scaleway's 16GB RAM / 4 vCPU spec exactly at one-third the price; 99.99% SLA and 240GB NVMe.
Caveat: Intro pricing; renewal is 2–6x higher; egress beyond 2TB pooled is tiered; only 4 vCPU vs Scaleway's 8.
12GB RAM, 8 vCPU (matches Scaleway's core count), 240GB SSD, 6TB transfer; unmanaged by default but closest spec match.
Caveat: Unmanaged (user-responsible); renewal prices substantially higher; management add-ons cost $10–$25/mo extra.
