Virtual Instances · $1323.34/mo (256 GB RAM, 32 vCPU)
Scaleway's MEMORY3-X32C-256G at $1323.34/mo is significantly overpriced for the specs. Multiple dedicated server and cloud providers offer 128GB RAM with 16-32 vCPU for $99-$532/mo, delivering far better value. Even accounting for hidden costs and renewal traps, you're paying 2.5-13x more than necessary for comparable or superior hardware.
128GB DDR5 ECC RAM, 16-core AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, up to 3.84TB NVMe for $99/mo - roughly 13x cheaper than Scaleway with superior single-threaded performance and more storage.
Caveat: Setup fee rising to EUR 79 in 2026; traffic overage charged beyond 20TB EU pool; price flagged as placeholder and unconfirmed - verify before committing.

| Contabo | Dedicated Servers · AMD Genoa 24 Cores | $214.92/mo |
128GB RAM, 24-core AMD EPYC Genoa, 2TB SSD, unlimited traffic for $214.92/mo - 6x cheaper than Scaleway with more cores and no bandwidth restrictions.
Caveat: Price is for 24-month prepaid term; shorter contracts cost more per month; fair usage policy can throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage; EUR 199/mo list price has unresolved discrepancy with aggregator pricing.
128GB RAM, 24-core dual AMD EPYC 7413, 1.92TB SSD for $276.33/mo - nearly 5x cheaper than Scaleway with comparable core count and memory.
Caveat: Prices exclude VAT; delivery time varies 1-5 days depending on stock; no mention of bandwidth allowance or overage policy.
128GB DDR5 RAM, 32 vCPU, 3TB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth for $312.19/mo - matches Scaleway's vCPU count at 4.2x lower cost with better storage and no bandwidth caps.
Caveat: Renewal price increases 2-3x after intro term; domain and privacy free only year one; requires 36-month prepay for lowest advertised price; aggressive upsell tactics at checkout.
128GB RAM, 32 vCPU, 3.2TB SSD RAID-10, 10TB transfer for $532/mo - matches Scaleway's vCPU and RAM at 2.5x lower cost with enterprise-grade storage.
Caveat: Advertised price is promotional (often 50% off first 2 months); renewal pricing significantly higher; bandwidth overages and storage add-ons billed separately; requires careful renewal-rate verification.
