Cloud pricing comparison — frequently asked
Which cloud provider is the cheapest?
Across the 7 providers we track, Vultr has the lowest entry-tier on-demand price (around $0.0030/hour). For steady-state workloads, lean providers like Hetzner, Vultr, DigitalOcean, and Linode are typically several times cheaper than AWS, GCP, or Azure at the same vCPU and RAM.
How do I compare cloud server prices?
Sort and filter the table by vCPU, RAM, region, and workload to compare 250 on-demand instances across 7 providers side by side. Each row shows hourly, monthly, and 1-year reserved list prices in USD, so you can line up equivalent specs and see the real cost difference.
Is AWS more expensive than Hetzner or DigitalOcean?
Usually yes for raw compute. AWS, GCP, and Azure carry higher list prices but offer more regions, managed services, and compliance coverage. Hetzner and DigitalOcean win on flat, predictable price/performance. Use the head-to-head comparison pages to check a specific tier.
Are these cloud prices accurate and up to date?
Prices are USD on-demand list prices captured in our latest snapshot and refreshed regularly per provider. Spot/preemptible rates, promotional credits, and committed-use discounts are not included, so verify the live price on the provider before purchasing.
