Like-for-like, across clouds
Compare
The same thing, priced by each vendor, on one unit that means the same to all of them. Every figure names the SKUs it was built from and links to them, so you can check the arithmetic rather than take it on trust.
Why these prices can be compared at all
Vendors do not sell the same shape. Google prices a machine's cores and its memory separately; AWS prices the whole instance. So a like-for-like figure is composed — four cores plus sixteen gigabytes on one side, the instance type whose spec is four cores and sixteen gigabytes on the other. Where both vendors publish the same unit already, such as a gigabyte-month of object storage, the comparison is direct. Every result is scoped to one region group and one pricing model, so a committed rate is never held up against an on-demand one.

Not enough to compare here
Nothing in the corpus satisfies this combination. Shapes are matched exactly rather than approximated — a near-miss configuration would be a made-up number.
