VPS Price Comparison

Below I compiled a list of compute prices across cloud providers. For ease of comparison I grouped the data into 3 categories:

Not all providers offer instances matching the exact configuration, so picked the most affordable, closest match I could find.

Please note this list is non-exhaustive and prices may differ from those listed here. You can find the assumptions I made while compiling the data here.
