Strengths
- B2ats v2 from about $6.86/month and a 12-month free tier for small Linux VMs
- Roughly 60 regions worldwide, including Mexico, Chile, New Zealand and several Middle East/Africa locations
- Burstable B-series suits idle-heavy workloads at a fraction of general-purpose pricing
Trade-offs
- Burstable CPUs throttle to a baseline once credits run out
- Managed disk, public IPv4 and egress are all separate line items, so total cost is well above the headline VM rate
- Trustpilot score is low and the pricing page is hard to read without the calculator
