Virtual Instances · $82.7/mo (16 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
Scaleway's MEMORY3-X2C-16G at $82.70/mo is significantly overpriced for the specs. Multiple providers offer 8GB RAM / 4 vCPU instances for $5.94-$21.99/mo, and even closer RAM/vCPU matches exist well below $82. The Scaleway plan's 2 vCPU and 500 Mbps bandwidth are notably weak for the price point.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 100GB SSD, unlimited traffic for $5.94/mo is a fraction of Scaleway's price with better CPU and bandwidth.
Caveat: Price is locked to 24-month prepay; shorter terms cost significantly more per month, and fair usage policy can throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 200GB NVMe SSD, unmetered bandwidth at $8.36/mo intro rate beats Scaleway on every dimension.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps 2-4x after intro term (likely $15-25/mo); 36-month contract required for lowest price; domain and add-ons have hidden upsells.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 75GB NVMe, 1 Gbps bandwidth, daily backups, and 99.99% SLA for $8.50/mo is 10x cheaper than Scaleway.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026; Windows license surcharge applies if needed.
8GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 100GB NVMe, 8TB transfer, weekly backups at $8.79/mo intro is cheaper and matches Scaleway's vCPU count more closely.
Caveat: Renewal price is 2-4x higher ($14.99/mo); 12/24/48-month prepay required for intro rate; monthly billing available but at steep premium.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 240GB NVMe, unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbps, 99.99% SLA for $11.50/mo is still 7x cheaper than Scaleway with superior specs.
Caveat: Intro pricing is promotional (1-3 year contract); renewal pricing is 2-6x higher; outbound data beyond 2TB free allowance is metered at $0.036/GB.
