Worth knowing
Cherry Servers
- Prices are quoted in US dollars excluding VAT, and the dedicated server hourly start differs slightly between pages ($0.091 in an FAQ, $0.098 on the overview).
- The self-service plans are unmanaged infrastructure; the site points to sales engineers for custom setups.
- Backup Storage is free for dedicated servers; other storage, IPs and load balancers are priced separately.
- Monthly dedicated-server prices were not readable on the pages we checked.
Latitude.sh
- Reserved monthly and yearly options are labeled 50% and 65% cheaper than hourly, but the page text shows one monthly figure per plan, whose billing basis is not stated.
- Compute is dedicated hardware, so the lowest metal plan is far above typical VPS pricing.
- The pricing page lists an FAQ on bandwidth fees and taxes, but its answers were not readable, so overage and tax terms are not recorded.
- Each plan lists the number of locations it is available in, and the largest GPU and metal plans have fewer locations than the small ones.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
