Virtual Instances · $139.24/mo (32 GB RAM, 8 vCPU)
Scaleway's GP1-S at $139.24/mo is significantly overpriced for the specs. Multiple providers offer comparable or better hardware (8 vCPU, 16-24GB RAM) at $15-35/mo with lower renewal-price shock and clearer billing. Even accounting for hidden costs, you're paying 4-9x more than genuine alternatives.
8 vCPU, 24GB RAM, 300GB SSD, unlimited traffic at roughly 1/9th the price; 24-month contract locks in rate and avoids steep renewal shock.
Caveat: Quoted price is for 24-month prepay; 1 or 12-month terms cost significantly more per month; fair-usage policy on unlimited traffic could throttle sustained high bandwidth.
8 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 160GB SSD, 20TB transfer included; transparent pricing with no OS licensing surcharges and strong 99.9% SLA.
Caveat: Traffic overage billed per GB beyond 20TB pool; VAT not included in listed price; recent large price increases on other product lines suggest future hikes possible.
8 vCPU, 24GB RAM, 200GB NVMe, 3 Gbps bandwidth, daily backups, unlimited traffic; 99.99% SLA and transparent renewal pricing.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; Windows license adds $0.039/vCore/hour; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026.
8 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 480GB NVMe, unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbit/s; 99.99% SLA and straightforward fixed-tier pricing.
Caveat: Intro price is promotional (1-year contract); renewal is 2-6x higher; outbound data beyond 2TB pooled allowance is tiered at $0.036-0.018/GB.
8 vCPU, 16GB DDR5 RAM, 450GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, includes $75 Amazon gift card; 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Steep renewal increases (intro $17.67 may jump to $50+/mo); lowest intro price requires 36-month prepay; aggressive upsell prompts for add-ons during checkout.
