Virtual Instances · $86.46/mo (16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)
Scaleway's BASIC3-X4C-16G at $86.46/mo is significantly overpriced compared to alternatives offering 16GB RAM and 4 vCPU. Multiple providers deliver matching or superior specs at 15-30% of Scaleway's cost, though most require longer contract commitments and have renewal-price traps to watch.
4 vCPU and 8GB RAM (half your RAM but still strong value) with 150GB NVMe and unlimited traffic at 14% of Scaleway's cost.
Caveat: 24-month prepay lock-in required for quoted price; 1/12-month terms cost significantly more; fair usage policy on unlimited traffic.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 240GB NVMe, unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbps at 13% of Scaleway's cost; strong SLA (99.99%).
Caveat: Intro pricing is a 3-month or 1-year promo on 1-year contract; renewal is 2-6x higher; outbound data over 2TB pooled allowance costs $0.036/GB.
4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 80GB SSD, 20TB transfer at 12% of Scaleway's cost; no long-term lock-in required.
Caveat: Only 8GB RAM vs your 16GB; traffic overage billed per GB beyond 20TB EU pool; prices exclude VAT; recent large price increases on other lines.
4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 200GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth at 10% of Scaleway's cost; includes $60 Amazon gift card.
Caveat: Only 8GB RAM vs your 16GB; renewal jumps to $9.99-$15.99/mo (2-3x); requires 36-month prepay for lowest intro price; heavy upsell prompts.
