Virtual Instances · $661.67/mo (128 GB RAM, 16 vCPU)
Scaleway's MEMORY3-X16C-128G at $661.67/mo is significantly overpriced for the specs. Multiple providers offer 64GB RAM with 16 vCPU for $40-$150/mo, and even 128GB options exist at a fraction of Scaleway's cost. The hidden costs (egress fees, snapshot billing, Glacier restoration charges) add friction without offsetting the premium positioning.
16 vCPU, 64GB RAM, 500GB SSD, unlimited traffic for $39.96/mo - a 94% discount versus Scaleway with nearly identical core specs.
Caveat: Price locks in only on 24-month prepay; shorter terms cost significantly more; fair usage policy may throttle sustained high-bandwidth abuse; ticket-only support on base tier.
Dedicated server with 64GB DDR5 ECC, 8 vCPU, 1.92TB NVMe for $49/mo - bare-metal performance at 7% of Scaleway's price.
Caveat: Setup fee now 79 EUR (raised in 2026); only 8 vCPU vs Scaleway's 16, so not a perfect spec match; traffic overage billed beyond 20TB EU pool; VAT excluded from listed price.
16 vCPU, 64GB RAM, 750GB NVMe, unlimited traffic for $72.52/mo - closest spec match to Scaleway at 89% savings.
Caveat: 24-month prepay required for advertised price; fair usage policy on unlimited traffic; ticket-only support on base tier.
16 vCPU, 64GB RAM, 960GB NVMe for $90/mo with 99.99% SLA - strong value and higher uptime guarantee than Scaleway.
Caveat: Outbound data beyond 2TB pooled allowance costs $0.036/GB; Windows/RHEL licensing adds per-vCPU surcharges; renewal pricing after promo can be 2-6x higher.
Bare-metal dedicated server with 128GB RAM (matching Scaleway), 12 vCPU, 1920GB SSD at promo price $166.70/mo - 75% cheaper for equivalent RAM.
Caveat: Promo price (regular EUR 192.94/mo); only 12 vCPU vs Scaleway's 16; prices exclude VAT; delivery time 1-5 days; renewal will be significantly higher.
