Read before comparing

A VM's sticker price is not its total cost.

Shared and burstable vCPUs do not promise the same sustained performance as dedicated cores. Public IPv4 addresses, persistent disks, snapshots, backup, outbound transfer, support, and taxes can materially change the bill.

Hyperscaler rows use an explicit region when the official price is region-qualified; otherwise the pricing scope is stated directly. Bundled plans from smaller clouds may include storage and transfer. Read each row's vendor source and see the methodology before making a purchase decision.
