Virtual Instances · $2039.62/mo (192 GB RAM, 96 vCPU)
Scaleway's COMPUTE3-X96C-192G at $2039.62/mo is significantly overpriced for its specs. Multiple providers offer 192GB RAM with comparable or better CPU/storage at 50-75% lower cost, with more transparent pricing and stronger SLAs.
192GB RAM, 64 vCPU, 2TB NVMe, unlimited traffic at less than 37% of Scaleway's price with no egress fees.
Caveat: Quoted price is for 24-month prepay; 1 or 12-month terms cost more per month; fair usage policy on bandwidth despite 'unlimited' claim.
Exact RAM match (192GB), 48 vCPU, 9TB transfer, 100% network uptime SLA at half Scaleway's cost.
Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; Windows licensing not included; storage specs not detailed.
192GB RAM, 48 vCPU, 960GB NVMe, 20TB transfer, 99.9% SLA at roughly half Scaleway's monthly cost.
Caveat: Prices exclude VAT; recent large price increases on CCX line (2.1-2.73x in June 2026); traffic overage billed beyond 20TB EU pool.
128GB RAM, 64 vCPU, 400GB NVMe, 8 Gbps public bandwidth, 99.99% SLA at 62% of Scaleway's price.
Caveat: Lower RAM than Scaleway (128GB vs 192GB); IPv4 addresses billed separately; Windows license surcharge applies; APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026.
96GB RAM, 48 vCPU, 1920GB SSD, 9TB transfer, 99.99% SLA at 42% of Scaleway's cost with transparent billing.
Caveat: Half the RAM (96GB vs 192GB); bandwidth overage at $0.005/GB; backups are a separate paid add-on.
