Cloud Cost Comparisons

Cloud pricing only makes sense in comparacion. On its own, a $0.096 hourly rate tells you nothing; the same carga de trabajo might costo $0.04 on a competing proveedor’s spot market or $0.07 with a 3-year reservation. This section collects head-to-head comparacions that put equivalent services side by side, so you can see the real costo difference at a glance.

How to Read These Comparisons

Every comparacion table on CloudCost uses the same columns:

• Service — the equivalent instancia, almacenamiento, or network service on each proveedor.
• Specification — vCPU, memory, and local almacenamiento, so the comparacion is apples-to-apples.
• On-demand precio — the published list precio for the baseline region (typically us-east-1, East US, us-central1).
• Reserved / committed precio — the precio with the most common 1-year No Upfront commitment, so you see the realistic steady-state costo.
• Notes — caveats such as nivel gratuito eligibility, egress rules, or feature differences.

Available Comparisons

• AWS vs Azure — Compute — general-purpose VM families comparard across on-demand, 1-year reservada, and spot pricing.
• AWS vs GCP — Storage — S3 versus Cloud Storage, with per-GB almacenamiento, request, and retrieval pricing.

More comparacions covering databases, networking, and the Alibaba Cloud ecosystem are added regularly. If there is a comparacion you would like to see, open an issue on the GitHub repository.
