A sticker price is compute. These are the charges that decide what the invoice says, and they are the reason two plans with identical vCPU and RAM can bill very differently.

These are not omissions and they are not zero. Each one needs an input Alibaba Cloud cannot supply from a published page, so we name the missing input and link their page instead of estimating.

Where Alibaba Cloud runs
We have not confirmed a published region list for Alibaba Cloud, so these plans appear only when no region filter is applied. That is deliberate: an unconfirmed footprint must not read as global.
How to check every number above
Each price was read from Alibaba Cloud's own pages, most recently on 2026-07-25. Open the source, read the figure, and tell us if it has moved. Prices change and a comparison that does not say when it last looked is not worth trusting.
