Methodology: figures last checked 2026-08-05. Hyperscaler pricing pages are all JS-driven calculators with no static table to read directly, so every row here is approx — cross-referenced across independent sources rather than pulled straight from the vendor page — until our automated ingestion pipeline can query each provider's pricing API directly. Monthly price = published hourly on-demand rate × 730 hours, with no commitment discount (reserved/savings-plan pricing is lower). Storage and network egress are billed separately by every provider and are not included in the price shown. AWS t3 instances are burstable — sustained full-vCPU load draws down CPU credits.
