Start with the service you need
A broader location menu may help a geographically distributed audience. Compare actual routes, resource policy and support terms in each location rather than assuming one brand has identical performance everywhere.
Payment rails
Verify the asset, network, payment processor, fees and account requirements at checkout. A long crypto list does not establish a data-minimisation policy by itself.
Deployment needs
Check available images, management access, recovery procedures and cancellation rules. Keep the same workload and billing period when comparing the overall cost.
Use the same evidence for both options
Check current official specifications, prices, policies and availability before choosing. Test the same workload and include licences, backups and operational effort. Compare verified capacity and measured results for your workload; matching resource labels do not establish equivalent performance.
