Pay Scaleway with Crypto

Scaleway's pricing catalog spans Compute Instances, GPU workloads, Elastic Metal, Object Storage, Block Storage, Managed Databases, Load Balancers, Domains, Web Hosting, and Transactional Email. SolCard is most relevant when you want one crypto-funded payment method for the card-billed parts of that console-based stack.

Scaleway says Public Cloud services are pay as you go, with the invoice calculated at the end of each calendar month from hourly resource usage and payment initiated in the first days of the next month. That makes the real payment moment the monthly invoice, not a single checkout page.

On Scaleway, a Compute Instance stops billing when it is powered off, but Elastic Metal keeps billing until the server is deleted, Flexible IPs bill while the reservation remains open, and volumes or snapshots bill until they are deleted. SolCard is useful when your cost is ongoing infrastructure allocation rather than a one-time order.

Scaleway does not bill every service the same way. Public Cloud is postpaid, while Web Hosting and Dedibox subscriptions are prorated for the first month and then billed in full and in advance from the second month onward.

Scaleway's Advanced, Business, and Enterprise support plans can materially change the monthly bill because the company charges whichever is higher between a fixed monthly fee and a percentage of net spend. That matters if you run production workloads and buy support alongside infrastructure.

Scaleway requires a card before you can set up SEPA, runs a 3D Secure check plus a temporary EUR1 authorization when the card is added, and says virtual or prepaid cards are not accepted. The same card can also only be registered once across all Organizations.
