Estimate your monthly cost
Linux or Windows, compute + storage + IPs, billed in INR. Compute is metered hourly and aggregated to a 720-hour month; storage and IPs are billed monthly.

Methodology
The hyperscaler comparison uses Intel Ice Lake (3rd Gen Xeon Scalable) instance families in their nearest India regions, on-demand Linux list price, with no commitments / Reserved Instances / Savings Plans applied. Per-vCPU and per-GiB-RAM hourly rates are derived by least-squares fit across each provider's 1:2 / 1:4 / 1:8 vCPU-to-RAM shapes within the Ice Lake family, so the customer's arbitrary (vCPU, RAM) shape lands on a consistent, auditable rate. Storage rates are baseline SSD (no provisioned IOPS premium) plus the cheapest cold-HDD class each provider sells; Public IPv4 is per-allocated-address (AWS & GCP since Feb 2024 charge for in-use IPv4 at $0.005/hr; Azure Standard Static IPv4 ~$3.65/mo). USD↦INR conversion uses the rate shown above; PrimeVistara is invoiced natively in INR per Terms §3.

Caveats
- Hyperscaler instance families bundle vCPU and RAM at fixed ratios; the linear fit is an honest approximation for arbitrary
(vCPU, RAM), but the closest standard shape on the actual provider invoice may differ by a few percent. Verify the exact rate on each provider's calculator before purchase. - Egress / inter-region / NAT-gateway / load-balancer / managed-service charges are not in the comparison; hyperscaler bills typically grow most at egress, where PrimeVistara today does not meter intra-VPC traffic.
- Windows comparison is intentionally omitted in v1 — hyperscaler Windows pricing adds per-vCPU License Included that varies by family; PrimeVistara's Windows rate already includes Windows licensing.
- Prices change. The numbers above are the rates returned by each provider's public pricing endpoint on the date shown; live rates may have moved.
How it’s billed
Transparent unit pricing. The calculator above mirrors how charges are accrued on your monthly INR invoice.
Compute
Metered per second, aggregated to a 720-hour month per vCPU and per GiB RAM.
Storage
Allocated capacity billed monthly. SSD/NVMe for live volumes, HDD for backups.
Public IPs
Flat monthly per allocated address. Egress and intra-VPC traffic are not metered today.
