Reviewer scorecard
“The Workbench is the best prompt engineering environment available. Test prompts, compare models, and see token counts in real-time. Essential for any Claude API project.”
“4x the compute per dollar compared to AWS. European data centers for GDPR compliance. The best value in cloud computing.”
“Clean, functional, does what it needs to. The evaluation tools are underrated — most developers ship prompts without testing. This makes testing easy.”
“Unbeatable pricing if you can manage your own infrastructure. Not for teams that need managed services.”
“Anthropic is building the developer platform, not just the model. Console + Claude Code + Agent SDK — they want developers building on Claude, not just chatting with it.”
“As cloud bills become a board-level concern, Hetzner's value proposition becomes more compelling every quarter.”
