Regions
Optidata self-serve runs in Miami (US1). This comparison prices Oracle Cloud in us-ashburn-1 (flat global list). They are different locations, so the tables compare list prices, not latency, hardware or a shared site.
Workloads that must keep data in Brazil run on Optidata Private Cloud, in Optidata-owned data centers in Brazil (OPD-BR1, OPD-BR2 and OPD-BR3-IA), designed and priced with an architect rather than from the public list.
Support
Optidata. Every request is answered by a person, every day of the year. The NOC and SOC run 24 hours a day, with an average first response under 8 minutes.
Oracle Cloud. Oracle Cloud's support plans are not part of this dataset. Check Oracle Cloud's own support pricing before comparing totals for a production workload.
Date, sources and caveats
When the prices were collected
- Competitor list prices captured
- Competitor prices re-checked on the vendor pages
- Optidata plan prices, from the console catalog
The re-check reopened 174 competitor price points on the vendors' public pages:171 matched, 1 was corrected to the published rate, and 2 could not be reconfirmed because no public page lists them, so they stay as captured.
Method
- Closest published shape that meets or exceeds both the vCPU and the RAM of the Optidata plan. Where a provider has no shape at that size, the next size up is used and flagged as oversized.
- On-demand list price, Linux, no commitment, no reserved instance, no savings plan, no sustained-use or spot discount.
- Hourly rates are converted at 730 h/month, the same convention the Optidata console bills on.
- Monthly totals add a reference block storage volume and reference outbound traffic to each instance, net of whatever disk and traffic the plan already bundles. Egress is tiered on AWS and GCP, so the marginal rate falls as volume grows. The account-level free allowance is added to whatever the instance plan already includes.

The locations differ: Optidata self-serve runs in Miami (US1), and each competitor is priced in the region named above. This compares list prices, not latency, hardware or performance, and no two SKUs in it are identical.
Caveats
- On-demand list prices, Linux, no usage commitment, no reserved instances and no spot. Negotiated discounts change the result.
- AWS, GCP and Oracle bundle neither disk nor transfer into the instance price. DigitalOcean, Vultr and Magalu do. The total-cost view normalizes that.
- Object storage on AWS, GCP and Oracle bills per request, which is not part of the per-GB rate.
