How often do prices update?
Most prices are fetched automatically every night from the
providers' own pricing pages and APIs. USD prices are converted with a live exchange rate, and real
price changes are separated from mere currency moves. Curated prices carry a verification date.
What is the best European alternative to AWS, Azure or Google Cloud?
It depends on the workload: for compute, database and storage,
Hetzner, UpCloud, Scaleway, OVH, IONOS and Infomaniak offer the same specs at a fraction of the price —
see the VPS comparison. If your stack relies on hyperscaler managed services
(queues, serverless, ML APIs), a hyperscaler can still be the right call.
Do prices include VAT?
Prices are shown excluding VAT (business pricing), in EUR —
with a EUR/USD display toggle in the calculators. Details are stated in each page's footer.
Why does the "actual €/mo" differ from the list price?
On top of the list price you often pay for a public IPv4 address,
egress traffic and other extras. The VPS search computes the actual monthly cost for
your usage profile — and if an extra cost is unverified, it is flagged rather than guessed.
Is the comparison independent?
There are no affiliate links and no commercial relationship with
the providers being compared. Every figure links to its source, and prices that cannot be verified are
shown as empty — never guessed.
