Virtual Instances · $86.46/mo (16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)
Scaleway's BASIC3-X4C-16G at $86.46/mo is significantly overpriced compared to competitors offering 8GB RAM / 4 vCPU plans at $5.94-$24.64/mo. While Scaleway offers 16GB RAM (double most alternatives), the price-per-GB and overall value proposition is poor. Most competitors offer better specs or equivalent performance at 10-30% of Scaleway's cost, though renewal prices and hidden costs vary widely.
Matches 4 vCPU and offers 8GB RAM at 1/14th the price with unlimited traffic, though storage is half (100GB vs 16GB RAM instance).
Caveat: Price locks in only on 24-month prepaid terms; shorter contracts cost significantly more, and fair usage policy can throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage.
4 vCPU / 8GB RAM / 200GB NVMe at 1/10th the price with unmetered bandwidth and higher SLA (99.99%).
Caveat: Intro pricing requires 36-month prepay; renewal jumps to $9.99-$15.99/mo, and domain/add-ons are heavily upsold post-checkout.
4 vCPU / 8GB RAM / 75GB NVMe with 1 Gbps bandwidth, daily backups, and 99.99% SLA at 1/10th Scaleway's price.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; Windows license surcharge applies; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026.
4 vCPU / 8GB RAM / 80GB SSD with 20TB transfer allowance and 99.9% SLA at 1/8th the cost.
Caveat: Prices exclude VAT; traffic overage charged per GB beyond regional pool; recent large price increases on other cloud lines suggest future hikes possible.
4 vCPU / 8GB RAM / 240GB NVMe with unlimited traffic (up to 1 Gbit/s) and 99.99% SLA at 1/7th the price.
Caveat: Intro pricing is a 3-month or 1-year promo on 1-year contract; renewal rates are 2-6x higher; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/month each.
