DigitalOcean offers more cost-effective pricing for small businesses compared to AWS. Its transparent, predictable pricing structure is simpler, with lower base costs for smaller instances. DigitalOcean’s Droplets (virtual machines) provide excellent performance at a fraction of the cost of AWS EC2, making it ideal for startups or businesses with limited budgets. Additionally, DigitalOcean’s pay-as-you-go model helps optimize costs, ensuring businesses only pay for what they use.
