Virtual Instances · $735.69/mo (128 GB RAM, 32 vCPU)
Scaleway's $735.69/mo plan is significantly overpriced for the specs. Multiple providers offer 128GB RAM + 16-24 vCPU configurations at less than half the cost, with better or comparable storage and bandwidth. Even accounting for hidden costs and renewal traps, you can save $400-500/month by switching.
Matches your 128GB RAM and exceeds vCPU count (16 vs 32) with 3.84TB NVMe storage, 20TB included traffic, and a 99.9% SLA for just $99/mo.
Caveat: Setup fee is 79 EUR (approx $86) as of 2026; price does not include VAT; verify current pricing before committing to a long-term contract.
128GB RAM, 24 vCPU (vs Scaleway's 32), 2TB SSD, unlimited traffic, and 99.9% SLA for $214.92/mo - less than 30% of Scaleway's price.
Caveat: Price is locked to 24-month prepaid terms; shorter contracts cost significantly more; fair usage policy on unlimited traffic may throttle sustained high-bandwidth abuse.
64GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 2TB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, 3 IPs, and 99.99% SLA for $217.19/mo with 20% discount on 36-month terms.
Caveat: Renewal pricing jumps steeply after intro term (often 2-3x); free domain and privacy only for year one; requires 36-month commitment for best price.
128GB RAM, 24 vCPU, 2.56TB SSD, 11TB transfer, and 99.99% SLA for $342/mo - half Scaleway's price with managed infrastructure.
Caveat: Bandwidth overages charged at $0.02/GB (DigitalOcean backend); offsite backups, autonomous disk overage, and add-ons (CDN, malware protection, etc.) all billed separately.
96GB RAM, 16 OCPU ARM-based compute, flexible shape, and 99.95% SLA for $140.16/mo - excellent value for non-x86 workloads.
Caveat: Block Volume performance (VPU) billed separately; ARM architecture may require application recompilation; enhanced OKE clusters add $0.10/hour control-plane fee.
