An honest read

Both of these lists are real. Pick the column that describes your workload.

Where Scaleway wins

Per-minute billing and no egress fees.
H100 SXM and B300 instances in European data centers.
Dual-GPU Dedibox servers by the month, cheaper on 12- or 36-month terms.

Choose Scaleway if you need GPUs in a French or Polish data center from an EU provider, and an identity check is no obstacle.

Where we win

One flat monthly invoice. No meter, no egress fee, no storage line item — the number is fixed for your whole term.
Single-tenant bare metal. The whole machine, with its CPU, RAM and NVMe, not a container beside someone else's job.
No KYC, paid in crypto. An email address, a prepaid balance in BTC, ETH or USDT, and renewals settle themselves.
Live in under 10 minutes, with a 99.9% SLA, 4-hour hardware replacement and engineers on call 24/7.

Choose us if the GPUs stay busy, you want the bill to be predictable, and you would rather not hand over an identity document to rent a computer.
