Click a score to open it in the side-by-side. Multi per $ is the multi-core median divided by the current monthly price, USD only. Each plan's figure is the average across its tested locations. Bars are relative to DigitalOcean's best plan.
A location is highlighted only when it leads the next best by 5 percent or more. Smaller gaps are normal run-to-run variance.
