Virtual Instances · $1221.88/mo (256 GB RAM, 48 vCPU)
Scaleway's GP1-XL at $1221.88/mo is significantly overpriced for its specs. Multiple dedicated server and cloud providers offer 128GB RAM with 24-48 vCPU for $200-350/mo, representing 70-85% savings. The Scaleway plan's main advantage is 256GB RAM, but even accounting for that premium, better-value alternatives exist.
48 vCPU and 128GB RAM for $199/mo (half Scaleway's price for similar core count), with 3.84TB NVMe and 20TB EU traffic included; no per-GB egress fees like Scaleway.
Caveat: Setup fee rising to 159 EUR in 2026; only 128GB RAM vs Scaleway's 256GB; VAT not included in listed price; recent large price increases on other Hetzner lines suggest future hikes possible.
24 vCPU and 128GB RAM for $214.92/mo with unlimited traffic and no egress fees, undercutting Scaleway by 82% despite half the core count.
Caveat: Price is for 24-month prepaid term; shorter contracts cost more per month; fair usage policy can throttle sustained high bandwidth; ticket-only support on base tier.
24 vCPU and 128GB RAM for $276.33/mo with 1.92TB SSD and 99.9% SLA, saving 77% vs Scaleway while offering dedicated hardware reliability.
Caveat: Only 24 vCPU vs Scaleway's 48; delivery time 1-5 days depending on stock; VAT excluded from listed price.
Matches Scaleway's 256GB RAM and offers 32 vCPU (vs Scaleway's 48) for $350.40/mo, saving 71%; includes 99.95% SLA and flexible scaling.
Caveat: Block Volume performance (VPU) billed separately; Autonomous Database and enhanced OKE control plane are paid add-ons; Archive Storage has early-deletion penalties.
32 vCPU and 128GB RAM for $312.19/mo with 3TB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, and 99.99% SLA, saving 74% vs Scaleway.
Caveat: Renewal price increases steeply after intro term; 36-month contract required for lowest advertised price; domain and privacy add-ons become paid after year one; SiteLock/backup upsells heavily promoted.
