Prices read from each provider's own pricing page, in the currency they bill in. Ranking and the $/TB column are normalised to US dollars (rates dated 2026-08-28) so they stay comparable.
The trap in the sub-$5 plans
Ranking by headline price rewards the very small plans. Pulsed Media M10G SSD 320G is the clearest example: €6.49 a month looks unbeatable, but at 0.32 TB the terabyte works out at $23.62 — 9.0× the cost of the best value on this list.
The right question is not "which is cheapest" but "which is the cheapest that covers what I need". Below 1 TB a seedbox fills up within days and you end up paying for a migration.
