Virtual Instances · $43.23/mo (8 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
Scaleway's BASIC3-X2C-8G at $43.23/mo is significantly more expensive than comparable cloud VPS alternatives with similar or better specs. Multiple providers offer 8GB RAM + 2-4 vCPU instances for $5-12/mo, though most carry renewal-price traps and hidden costs that require careful contract-term planning.
Matches Scaleway's 8GB RAM and 2 vCPU exactly, adds 100GB SSD storage, and costs 7x less at the 24-month contract rate.
Caveat: Price is locked to 24-month prepay; 1 or 12-month terms cost significantly more per month, and fair-usage policy may throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage.
Delivers 8GB RAM, 4 vCPU (better than Scaleway's 2), 160GB NVMe SSD, and 5TB transfer for $9.99/mo on a 3-year term.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps 2-4x higher after intro term; lowest rate requires 24-36 month upfront prepay; a $5.99/mo 1-year promo was also spotted but specs vary.
Offers 4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 120GB NVMe, and unlimited traffic (vs Scaleway's 350 Mbps cap) for $6.67/mo.
Caveat: Renewal pricing is 2-6x higher after the contract period; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/month each; outbound traffic beyond 2TB free pool is metered.
Provides 4GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 50GB NVMe SSD, and 4TB transfer at $6.49/mo intro rate with weekly backups.
Caveat: Renewal price is 2-4x higher ($11.99/mo); intro rate requires 12/24/48-month prepay; only 1 vCPU vs Scaleway's 2, and weekly (not daily) backups on base plan.
Delivers 4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 40GB SSD, and 20TB transfer for $6.49/mo with 99.9% SLA.
Caveat: Price excludes VAT; traffic overage billed per GB beyond 20TB pool (much lower in USA/Singapore regions); recent large price increases on CPX/CCX lines signal potential future hikes.
