How to read the table
The figures above are read from the live catalogue every time this page loads, so they always match the product pages and the checkout. The lowest and highest price for each platform is taken from that platform’s own configurations. One AWS configuration is quoted individually rather than listed at a fixed price, so it is excluded from the range.
A price range is not a measure of quality. A platform with a high top-end price simply offers a large credit configuration; a platform with a low range may be the better fit for a small project. Choose by what the workload needs first, then by price.
Choosing between platforms
Many teams combine providers rather than standardising on one, using a large platform for production and a simpler one for development, testing or specific workloads. The guidance on the homepage gives a short route into that decision, and each platform page explains in detail who that provider suits and where its limits are.
If the configuration you need is not listed, contact us before buying so we can confirm what is currently available.
