Virtual Instances · $330.83/mo (64 GB RAM, 8 vCPU)
Scaleway's MEMORY3-X8C-64G at $330.83/mo is significantly overpriced for the specs. Multiple providers offer 32-48GB RAM with 8-12 vCPU for $25-60/mo, though most require multi-year prepay commitments and have steep renewal penalties. Even accounting for hidden costs and contract lock-in, you're paying 5-13x more than comparable alternatives.
48GB RAM, 12 vCPU, 400GB SSD, unlimited traffic for $27/mo on a 24-month term - nearly identical specs to Scaleway at 1/12th the price.
Caveat: Price is locked to 24-month prepay; 12-month or monthly terms cost significantly more; fair usage policy on unlimited traffic; ticket-only support on base tier.
32GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 400GB NVMe, 32TB transfer for $25.99/mo intro rate - matches Scaleway's vCPU/RAM at 1/13th the cost.
Caveat: Intro price requires 12/24/48-month prepay; renewal jumps to $49.99/mo (2x); only weekly backups on base plan; monthly billing available but much pricier.
32GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 320GB SSD, 20TB transfer for $34.99/mo - double the vCPU count at 1/9th the price with no long-term contract required.
Caveat: Price excludes VAT; traffic overages billed per GB beyond 20TB pool; recent large price increases on other product lines suggest future hikes possible.
64GB RAM, 12 vCPU, 1024GB NVMe, unlimited traffic on dedicated hardware for $103.68/mo - matches Scaleway's RAM at 1/3rd the price.
Caveat: Dedicated server (not cloud VPS); 24-month prepay required; renewal pricing on shorter terms significantly higher; fair usage policy applies.
32GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 960GB NVMe for $65.52/mo with 99.99% SLA - better vCPU/storage than Scaleway at 1/5th the price.
Caveat: Intro pricing is promotional (1-year contract); renewal rates 2-6x higher; outbound traffic beyond 2TB pooled allowance charged at $0.036/GB; Windows licensing adds per-vCPU surcharge.
