Cloud Cost Comparisons

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

How to Read These Comparisons

Every sammenligning table on CloudCost uses the same columns:

• Service — the equivalent instans, lagring, or network service on each leverandor.
• Specification — vCPU, memory, and local lagring, so the sammenligning is apples-to-apples.
• On-demand pris — the published list pris for the baseline region (typically us-east-1, East US, us-central1).
• Reserved / committed pris — the pris with the most common 1-year No Upfront commitment, so you see the realistic steady-state kostnad.
• Notes — caveats such as free tier eligibility, egress rules, or feature differences.

Available Comparisons

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