Estimating the Cost of a Product

As an OUTSCALE Marketplace visitor or buyer, you can estimate the cost of a product using a cost estimation feature on the desired product page before subscribing to the product.

You can choose to deploy the product on an OUTSCALE virtual machine (VM) recommended by the seller partner or on a custom OUTSCALE VM in the cloudgouv-eu-west-1 and eu-west-2 Regions, provided the product has been published in the latter Region.

The estimation combines the rate of the seller partner offer and of the chosen VM.

Two pricing modes are available: on demand or reserved VM. Once you have chosen a pricing mode, you can select the payment frequency and the consumption duration to estimate the total cost of the product.

For more information about reserved VMs, see About VMs > Reserved VMs.

This estimate does not constitute a quote or an invoice. It is valid for a limited time and the rate is subject to change.

For more information about pricing, contact our Sales department at sales-eu@outscale.com.

    • If you have selected Partner recommendation at the previous step, select a VM recommended by the seller partner.

      The Partner recommendation options are the VMs recommended by the seller partner for viable product deployment. These may include a top recommendation, that is the highest-recommended option for the said product.

      For more information about a recommended VM, you can hover over the VM type in blue.
