Reference conversions; providers bill in the original currency. Annual plans require payment upfront. Unknown tax and setup fees are excluded; unverified prices sort last. Listed does not mean in stock.

Transfer allowance and bandwidth are separate. Advertised ports are not measured throughput. Verify egress/combined metering, port sharing, fair-use and overage terms with the provider; unreviewed terms stay unknown. Cost per TB divides the monthly-equivalent plan price by included transfer (1 TB = 10¹² bytes); it is not an overage billing rate. Unknown never means unmetered.

Select 2–4 plans to compareCompare plans →
01 /

Cheap should be clear.

Upfront payment, billing period and known renewal price are separate. Unverified prices do not pass budget filters.

02 /

Evidence before a verdict.

Each report includes its method, region and timestamp. A short benchmark is an observation, not an uptime promise.

03 /

Readable by your agent.

Server-rendered pages, unit-bearing JSON fields and source-linked Markdown. Reading the evidence needs no browser scripts.
