Virtual Instances · $139.24/mo (32 GB RAM, 8 vCPU)
Scaleway's GP1-S at $139.24/mo is significantly more expensive than comparable alternatives. Several providers offer 8 vCPU + 16-24GB RAM plans for $15-35/mo, though most carry steep renewal-price traps and require long-term prepayment to hit advertised rates. Scaleway's main advantage is transparent, month-to-month pricing without hidden renewal shocks.
8 vCPU, 24GB RAM, 300GB SSD, unlimited traffic at roughly 1/9th the price; matches or exceeds Scaleway's specs.
Caveat: Quoted price requires 24-month prepaid contract; 1 or 12-month terms cost significantly more per month, and fair-usage policy can throttle sustained high bandwidth.
8 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 160GB SSD, 20TB transfer included; strong European presence and no renewal-price shock.
Caveat: Smaller storage footprint (160GB vs 32GB is not the issue, but traffic overages beyond 20TB are billed per GB in non-EU regions); VAT excluded from listed price.
8 vCPU, 24GB RAM, 200GB NVMe, 3 Gbps bandwidth, daily backups, unlimited traffic; transparent pricing with no renewal trap.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; Windows license surcharge applies if needed; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026.
8 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 450GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, includes $75 Amazon gift card; lowest sticker price among full-featured options.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps 2-4x after intro term (e.g. $9.99-$15.99/mo); lowest advertised rate requires 36-month prepayment; domain and add-ons prompt upsells at checkout.
8 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 480GB NVMe, unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbit/s; 99.99% SLA matches Scaleway's reliability.
Caveat: Intro pricing is a 3-month or 1-year promo on 1-year contract; renewal is 2-6x higher; outbound data beyond 2TB free pool is tiered at $0.036/GB; extra IPv4 addresses cost $6/month each.
