Public cloud vs Ultiblob

The math, with every assumption visible.

Run a real workload through the calculator. Typical TCO reduction: 35–55%. The savings aren't from a magic discount — they're from removing shared-tenancy overhead, NAT-gateway data charges, managed-service surcharges, and the operational headcount public cloud implicitly assumes.

Side by side

What you trade, what you gain.

Ultiblob isn't trying to be a hyperscaler. We're trying to be the better choice for the 80% of dedicated workloads that don't actually need 30+ global regions and pay-by-the-second elasticity.

FAQ

About the comparison.

Is this the real Ultiblob pricing?
Yes. The Pro tier (16 vCPU · 64GB · 1TB NVMe) is $649/mo at annual commitment. The estimator uses the same tier math. The public-cloud column uses publicly published list pricing with 1-year reserved-instance discount applied.
What's not included?
Egress on Ultiblob is included up to tier cap (we warn, don't bill, at 80%). Public cloud egress is shown at $0.09/GB list. Both columns include compute, storage, monitoring, and standard managed support.
Will my workload fit on Ultiblob?
Almost certainly. Workloads up to ~20k req/sec sustained, ~50TB hot storage, and 8× H100 inference fit on standard tiers. Higher capacity requires a Scale-tier quote.
What about reserved instances or savings plans?
Public-cloud 1-year reserved instances are pre-baked into the comparison (the more favorable case for the hyperscale side). 3-year reservations would close ~10% of the gap but lock you in further. Ultiblob's annual commitment carries the same gap as 1-year reservations do for public cloud.
