Virtual Instances · $40.2/mo (8 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)
Scaleway PLAY2-MICRO at $40.2/mo is significantly overpriced compared to spec-matched alternatives. Multiple providers offer 4 vCPU + 8GB RAM configurations for $5.94-$12.39/mo with comparable or better specs, making Scaleway roughly 3-7x more expensive for equivalent compute.
Exact spec match (4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 100GB SSD) at 1/7th the price with unlimited traffic and 99.90% SLA.
Caveat: Quoted price requires 24-month prepaid contract; 1-12 month terms cost more per month; fair usage policy on unlimited traffic.
4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 160GB NVMe, 5TB transfer, DDoS protection at 1/4th Scaleway's price.
Caveat: Renewal rates are 2-4x higher than intro pricing; spec variance noted between quoted 3-year and 1-year rates.
4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 150GB NVMe, 500 Mbit/s port, unlimited traffic at 1/3rd the price with better storage.
Caveat: 24-month prepaid contract required for this rate; shorter terms significantly more expensive.
4 vCPU, 4GB RAM, 120GB NVMe, unlimited traffic at 1/3.6th the price with 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Intro pricing requires 1-year contract; renewal pricing is 2-6x higher; outbound data beyond 2TB is metered.
4 vCPU, 6GB RAM, 120GB SSD, 3TB transfer, unmanaged VPS at 1/3.1th the price.
Caveat: Unmanaged by default; renewal pricing substantially higher; management add-ons cost $10-25/mo extra.
