The fees the sticker price hides

A cheap $/hr can turn expensive on egress, storage, or coarse billing increments. Every cell below was verified at the provider's own documentation; "not published" means exactly that, which is itself worth knowing.

Why this matters more than the $/hr

Three patterns to watch. First, egress: moving a trained model or dataset out of a cloud with per-GB egress can cost more than the training run. Second, storage while stopped: some providers keep billing for attached storage when the instance is off. Third, billing increments: per-second billing makes bursty work dramatically cheaper than per-hour billing at the same $/hr rate. The calculator and the live table cover the compute side; this page covers the rest.
