Estimating the Cost of a Product

As an OUTSCALE Marketplace visitor or buyer, you can estimate the cost of a product before subscribing to it.

You can choose to use the product on one or more OUTSCALE virtual machines (VMs) recommended by the seller partner or one or more custom OUTSCALE VMs 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(s). Two pricing modes are available: on demand or reserved VM.

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 the on-demand pricing mode, see Billing Glossary.
For more information about reserved VMs, see About VMs > Reserved VMs.
For more information about pricing, contact our Sales department at sales-eu@outscale.com.
