Pros & Cons
CloudSigma
Pros
- CPU, RAM and storage are sized independently rather than in fixed instance types.
- Per-second metering in five-minute billing segments avoids paying for idle hourly blocks.
- A wide certification list covers ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018, SOC 2 and PCI-DSS.
- The white-label model lets telcos and MSPs launch branded cloud services on revenue share, with no licence fees.
- Terraform, Ansible and a REST API with pricing and billing endpoints support automation.
Cons
- No public list prices, so costs require a pricing call.
- Burst usage is charged at higher rates than subscription capacity, which makes bills harder to predict.
- The public review footprint is small, and many reviews are years old.
- The network uptime guarantee does not cover applications, per RFP.wiki.
- Some users report friction during setup and support in edge cases.
Gcore
Pros
- The CDN includes 1 TB of traffic and 1 billion requests free each month, and traffic after that starts at 0.01 EUR per GB.
- DDoS protection pricing does not depend on attack size, and mitigation is not metered on any plan.
- The managed Kubernetes control plane is free with high availability, so you pay only for the nodes.
- A large edge footprint, reported at about 210 PoPs and 200 Tbps of capacity, suits latency-sensitive workloads such as gaming and streaming.
- Headquarters in Luxembourg is an advantage for buyers who prefer an EU-based provider.
Cons
- Trustpilot scores are around 2.5 out of 5, with complaints about recurring billing, refunds, and slow support.
- There is no public price list for VMs and bare metal; prices are only available through the calculator.
- The Terraform v2 provider is still in alpha and Gcore says it is not ready for production.
- The product range is very broad, which can make it harder for small teams to understand how pricing works.
