Some links are affiliate links: if you sign up we earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It does not affect the ranking, the matching formula is open
How the service works
A date on every price
key difference11 of the 13 catalogs we checked show no price-check date at all. We put it on every plan, and stale ones drop off the showcase automatically
data verifiedAugust 17, 2026
An open formula
The matching weights are published: you can see how many points the workload, location, requirements and budget add. Provider commission is not part of it
The same presentation for all
No pinned blocks, no “editor’s choice” labels, no paid spots. Every card looks the same, and each review has a limitations section

Catalog
Every plan in one table
Filters by location, memory, cores and requirements. Sort by price, by memory and by price per gigabyte of RAM: a normalized metric that shows where you overpay for a brand
Freshness rule. A plan not checked for more than 3650 days is hidden from the showcase automatically rather than shown with an old price. The base currently holds 108 plans, 0 of them hidden
Frequently asked
What people ask most
How is the match percentage calculated
Every provider starts at a base of 42 points, then points are added or removed for fitting the workload, location, met requirements, resource coverage, staying within budget and price per gigabyte of RAM relative to the base median. The affiliate commission is not a term in the formula; the weights are published on the methodology page
Why are there providers you have no affiliation with
Because the catalog would be incomplete without them. Providers with no affiliate relationship take part in the matching on equal terms and are marked separately; their link is a plain link with no affiliate tag
How current are the prices
Every plan has a verification date shown on the card. A plan not checked for more than seven days is hidden automatically rather than shown with an old price. Prices are checked by hand against provider price lists. If we have not verified a provider’s price yet, it is not shown at all: instead there is a note that the data is being updated
Do you charge providers for a spot in the list
No. The order is set by the formula; there is no paid placement in the catalog. We earn on affiliate clicks, and that has no effect on a provider’s position in the calculator output
