Huddle01 pricing from huddle01.com/pricing. IBM Cloud pricing from ibm.com/cloud/pricing as of March 2025. Taxes excluded.
IBM Cloud Virtual Servers are priced for enterprise procurement cycles, not lean engineering teams.
IBM Cloud prices estimated. Egress charges apply above free monthly allowance.
IBM Cloud ships 170+ services built for Fortune 500 ops teams and government procurement. Huddle01 ships the six services production backends and agentic workloads actually need, available globally without enterprise gating.
Enterprise pricing on every compute tier, every region
IBM Cloud Virtual Servers are priced for enterprise procurement, not lean engineering teams. A developer in the US, Germany, or Singapore faces the same enterprise rate card. Huddle01 Cloud virtual machines start at $22.32/mo for 2 vCPU / 4 GB RAM with dedicated AMD EPYC allocation, unlimited egress, and no minimum commitment.
No DPDPA-compliant region for Indian data residency
IBM Cloud has no Mumbai region. Teams building for Indian users under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act cannot meet DPDPA data residency requirements on IBM Cloud, regardless of how large their IBM relationship is. Huddle01's Mumbai region is live, DPDPA-compliant, and delivers sub-20ms latency across India.
Metered egress adds cost to every high-traffic workload globally
IBM Cloud meters egress and charges per GB above the free monthly allowance, in every region. A single production service moving 10 TB/month adds significant cost regardless of whether it runs in Dallas, Frankfurt, or Tokyo. Huddle01 includes unlimited egress on all plans at 10 Gbps with no metered pool and no overage billing.
170 services you do not need, priced for enterprises that do
IBM Cloud's catalogue exists for Fortune 500 procurement teams and government contracts. US startups, European scale-ups, and APAC development teams need compute, Kubernetes, Docker, storage, and load balancing. Huddle01 ships those six. Nothing else on the invoice.
1
Virtual machines with dedicated vCPUs globally
Every Huddle01 instance runs on AMD EPYC processors with dedicated vCPU allocation, DDR4 ECC registered memory, and NVMe SSD storage. Anton-2 through Anton-64 scale from 2 to 64 vCPUs with per-second billing and no minimum commitment in US, Europe, APAC, and India. IBM Cloud Virtual Servers require navigating multiple profile families and enterprise account tiers.
2
Managed Kubernetes without control plane fees, without borders
Managed Kubernetes on Huddle01 is priced at exactly the same per-node rate as standard virtual machines. No control plane fee. No node limits. Available globally including Mumbai with DPDPA compliance. IBM Kubernetes Service and OpenShift carry additional fees and require enterprise plan access for production-grade SLAs.
3
Managed Docker without enterprise gating
Huddle01 Managed Docker is priced at $0.0084 per vCPU per hour and $0.00402 per GB per hour. No platform fee. No enterprise account. Deploy in any region. IBM Cloud does not offer managed Docker as a standalone service.
4
Block storage and load balancers, priced simply
Block storage at $0.0000834/GB/hr. Load balancers with SSL/TLS included at no add-on cost. IBM Cloud offers equivalent services but with a layered pricing structure including retrieval fees, IOPS tiers, and separately billed load balancer instances.
