Virtual Instances · $1803.1/mo (384 GB RAM, 48 vCPU)
The Scaleway POP2-HM-48C-384G is end-of-life and overpriced at $1803/mo. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs at 40-60% lower cost, with better bandwidth allowances and no renewal-rate traps. However, most alternatives have their own hidden costs and lock-in terms worth scrutinizing.
64 vCPU (vs 48), 192GB RAM, 2TB NVMe, unlimited traffic, and $1048/mo cheaper; actual specs exceed Scaleway's.
Caveat: Quoted price is effective rate for 24-month prepaid contract; 1 or 12-month terms cost significantly more per month, and fair-usage policy can throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage.
256GB RAM, 32 vCPU, 400GB NVMe, 8 Gbps public bandwidth, and 99.99% SLA for $891/mo less; better uptime than Scaleway.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; Windows license surcharge applies; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026.
48 vCPU, 192GB RAM, 960GB NVMe, 20TB transfer included, and $796/mo cheaper; matches vCPU/RAM closely.
Caveat: CCX line saw 2.1x-2.73x price increases in June 2026; traffic overage billed per GB beyond 20TB pool; VAT not included in quoted price.
256GB RAM, 56 vCPU, 5TB SSD, 11TB transfer, and 99.99% SLA; higher specs but $501/mo more expensive.
Caveat: Outbound bandwidth overage at $0.005/GB after 11TB; backups are a separate add-on (20-25% of instance cost); renewal rates not disclosed.
192GB RAM, 24 vCPU, 600GB NVMe, 9TB transfer, and 99.99% SLA for $795/mo less; simpler pricing with no renewal traps.
Caveat: Lower vCPU count (24 vs 48) and smaller disk; bandwidth overage at $0.01/GB; does not match Scaleway's compute capacity.
