Reviewer scorecard
“4x the compute per dollar compared to AWS. European data centers for GDPR compliance. The best value in cloud computing.”
“The API design is a masterclass. Documentation is the best in the industry. If you're building anything that takes payments, Stripe is the default choice and for good reason.”
“Unbeatable pricing if you can manage your own infrastructure. Not for teams that need managed services.”
“Pricing is higher than competitors but the reliability and feature set justify it. The AI fraud detection alone pays for the premium. You can't put a price on not dealing with chargebacks.”
“As cloud bills become a board-level concern, Hetzner's value proposition becomes more compelling every quarter.”
“Stripe is quietly becoming the financial infrastructure for the internet. Atlas, Treasury, Issuing — they're building the operating system for internet businesses.”
