Virtual Instances · $165.41/mo (32 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)
Scaleway's MEMORY3-X4C-32G at $165.41/mo is significantly overpriced for its specs. Multiple providers offer 16GB RAM at $12-44/mo, and even 24-32GB options exist in the $15-32 range. Unless you specifically need Scaleway's European infrastructure or Object Storage integration, you're paying 4-13x more than comparable alternatives.
24GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 300GB SSD, unlimited traffic for $15.12/mo - nearly identical specs to Scaleway at 1/11th the price.
Caveat: Price is for 24-month prepaid term; 1-month billing costs significantly more. Fair usage policy on unlimited traffic may throttle sustained high bandwidth.
24GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 200GB NVMe, 3 Gbps bandwidth, daily backups, unlimited traffic for $23.37/mo - better specs than Scaleway at 1/7th the cost.
Caveat: Windows license adds $0.039/vCore/hour (~$11/mo extra). APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026.
24GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 450GB NVMe, unlimited traffic, 1 Gbit/s for $32.13/mo - superior storage and specs at 1/5th Scaleway's price.
Caveat: 24-month prepaid term required for this rate. Ticket-only support on base tier; phone support is an add-on.
16GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 480GB NVMe, unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbit/s for $22/mo - excellent storage and performance at 1/7.5th the price.
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 costs $0.036-0.018/GB.
16GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 160GB SSD, 20TB transfer for $18.49/mo - strong value and proven reliability at 1/9th Scaleway's cost.
Caveat: VAT excluded from listed price (add ~19% in EU). Recent large price increases on CPX/CCX lines (2.4-2.75x); CX/CAX rose ~1.3-1.4x in June 2026.
