Virtual Instances · $170.89/mo (16 GB RAM, 8 vCPU)
Scaleway's COMPUTE3-X8C-16G at $170.89/mo is significantly overpriced for a 8vCPU/16GB instance. Multiple providers offer comparable or better specs at 10-15% of the cost, with the main trade-off being contract lock-in periods and renewal price increases rather than true hidden costs.
Matches Scaleway's 16GB RAM and 4vCPU core count at 1/13th the price, with 200GB NVMe and 16TB transfer included; AMD EPYC processor.
Caveat: Intro rate requires 12-48 month prepay; renewal jumps to $28.99/mo (2.2x); weekly (not daily) backups on base plan.
Offers 12GB RAM and 8vCPU (exceeds Scaleway's 8vCPU) with 240GB SSD and 6TB transfer; unmanaged by default but management add-ons available.
Caveat: Unmanaged by default; renewal pricing substantially higher; management tiers add $10-25/mo if needed.
Exactly matches Scaleway's 16GB RAM and 4vCPU with 240GB NVMe; includes 99.99% SLA and unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbit/s.
Caveat: Intro pricing requires 1-year contract; renewal pricing is 2-6x higher; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/month each.
8GB RAM and 4vCPU at 1/17th Scaleway's price with 80GB SSD and 20TB transfer; 99.9% SLA and no long-term contract required.
Caveat: Smaller storage (80GB vs 16GB RAM context); traffic overage billed beyond 20TB pool; VAT excluded from listed price; recent large price increases on other product lines.
8GB RAM and 4vCPU with 150GB NVMe and unlimited traffic at 1/14th the price; AMD EPYC processor and 500 Mbit/s port.
Caveat: Quoted price is 24-month prepay rate; 1-12 month terms cost significantly more; fair usage policy can throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage.
