Which one is for you
Pick Latitude.sh if
- Fits if you need bare-metal or GPU servers
- Works for teams that automate their infrastructure
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you need dedicated hardware, as metal starts at $296 a month
- Watch out: reserved discounts are labeled 50% and 65%, but the billing basis is not stated
- Skip it if you want a free trial, as none is listed
- Tight if you need the biggest plans in many locations, as they have fewer
Pick Vultr if
- Fits if you want inexpensive servers across many locations
- Works for projects that need bare metal or GPUs from the same provider
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you don't want to set up and patch a server
- Not for you if you need IPv4 on the $2.50 plan, since it's IPv6 only
- Watch out: backups, block storage, load balancers and extra bandwidth cost more
- Watch out: Vultr's own pricing pages weren't readable, so prices are from its public plans API

Worth knowing
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.
Vultr
- Vultr's pricing and product pages sit behind a bot check, so these prices are read from its public plans API.
- The cheapest $2.50 plan has an IPv6 address only and no IPv4.
- Servers are unmanaged: the buyer sets up and patches the operating system.
- Backups, block storage, load balancers and bandwidth beyond a plan's allowance cost extra.

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.
