I was just passed this and the pricing is competitive. I haven’t dug in or anything, but, even their base tier is priced cheaper than the lower Digital Ocean droplets.

Just putting this here for folks to consider! I’m not a customer.

Given DO just lowered its price, I’d say Alibaba needs to do the same to be competitive, since I presume they are relatively new in the US?
