Vultr sells compute under four names
Each line is priced differently, so comparing prices starts with working out which one you're looking at.
Four product lines
Regular Performance, High Frequency, High Performance and the newer VX1 line each price and spec compute differently. You need to know which one a price refers to.
Same spec, different price
A 4 vCPU / 8 GB VM costs a different amount depending on which of Vultr's four lines you pick, and the product name alone doesn't explain why.
One product on Iotamine
Iotamine has one product: a VM you size yourself. You can compare prices without first working out which product line you're on.
Regular Performance prices
Vultr and Iotamine at four sizes
Four sizes from Vultr's Cloud Compute (Regular Performance) line, its standard and most-advertised product. Vultr uses one global price list, so the India prices are a currency conversion of the same rate.
| Tier | Spec | Vultr (monthly / hourly) | Iotamine (monthly / hourly) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cheapest | 1 vCPU / 2 GB / 55 GB | ₹835~₹1.25/hr | ₹623₹0.87/hr |
| Mid | 2 vCPU / 4 GB / 80 GB | ₹1,670~₹2.51/hr | ₹1,090₹1.51/hr |
| Avg (popular) | 4 vCPU / 8 GB / 160 GB | ₹3,340~₹5.01/hr | ₹2,079₹2.89/hr |
| High | 6 vCPU / 16 GB / 320 GB | ₹6,680~₹10.02/hr | ₹3,338₹4.64/hr |
Vultr's Mumbai/Bangalore/Delhi NCR rate, converted at ₹83.5/$1 — Vultr doesn't charge extra for its India locations. Hourly figures follow Vultr's published monthly-to-hourly ratio (~667-hour basis); not independently re-confirmed on a live pricing page this pass, hence "~".

These four aren't fixed plans. They're just reference points. On Iotamine you build each VM yourself: pick any vCPU, RAM, disk and IP combination in the calculator below and deploy exactly that, without choosing between product lines first.
Side-by-side comparison
How Iotamine and Vultr compare
| Feature | Iotamine | Vultr |
|---|---|---|
| Product simplicity | One product, fully custom | Four separate named product lines |
| Resource sizing | vCPU, RAM, disk and IP set separately | Fixed bundles per plan |
| India regions | New Delhi (node del-2) | Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi NCR |
| Storage model | Standalone, swappable boot volumes | Block storage add-on, not bootable |
| Bandwidth included | 4 TB per vCPU, from 5 TB up to 50 TB | Set per plan |
| Bandwidth overage | ₹600/TB (Delhi) or ₹300/TB (Frankfurt) after the allowance | $0.01/GB after included egress |
| Billing | Hourly, one product line | Hourly, capped at 672 hrs/month |
| OS options | Any Linux distro, or Windows Server (BYOL) | Linux distros, Windows Server available |
To be fair to Vultr: it has a wide global footprint, with 32+ locations including three in India (Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi NCR). That's more Indian coverage than most independent clouds offer. Where it gets harder is pricing, which depends on which of its four compute product lines you're looking at.
Bandwidth
More bandwidth at every size, and the same deal in Delhi
Iotamine includes 4 TB of bandwidth per vCPU every month, from 5 TB up to 50 TB. Vultr's Regular Cloud Compute plans include 2 to 6 TB across the same sizes.
| Server size | Iotamine includes | Vultr includes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 vCPU · 2 GBCloud Compute $10/mo | 5 TB / month | 2 TB |
| 2 vCPU · 4 GBCloud Compute $20/mo | 8 TB / month | 3 TB |
| 4 vCPU · 8 GBCloud Compute $40/mo | 16 TB / month | 4 TB |
| 8 vCPU · 32 GBCloud Compute $160/mo | 32 TB / month | 6 TB |
| After the allowance | ₹600/TB in New Delhi, ₹300/TB in Frankfurt | $0.01 per GB, about ₹950 per TB |
- At 8 vCPU you get 32 TB on Iotamine against 6 TB on Vultr. Using 32 TB on that Vultr plan would add about $260 in overage.
- Vultr's Delhi NCR location lists Regular plans only up to 2 vCPU. On Iotamine a 32 vCPU server in New Delhi gets the full 50 TB allowance.
- Extra traffic costs ₹600 per TB in New Delhi, about a third less than Vultr's overage, billed in rupees with GST.

Questions about switching from Vultr
Regular Performance, High Frequency, High Performance and VX1 are different hardware generations and price points sold side by side. The same basic spec can cost a different amount depending on which line it's listed under.
Compared with Vultr's published Cloud Compute (Regular Performance) rates at matched specs, yes. Iotamine costs less at every size in the table above. Use the calculator to check your own spec.
Yes, more than most independent clouds: Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi NCR. This comparison isn't about regions. It's about prices being easier to compare when there is only one product.
Yes. vCPU, RAM, disk and IP can each be changed on the same product, so there's no product line to rethink as you grow.
Any major Linux distribution, or Windows Server with your own license (BYOL).
Each resource (vCPU, RAM, disk and IP) is metered by the hour, at the same rates whatever the spec. Billing starts when you deploy a VM and runs until you destroy it. Stopping a VM is not enough, because it still holds its reserved resources. At the end of the month all those hours go onto one invoice. A VM that runs the whole month comes to roughly 720 hours, billed as a single line item. New accounts get a ₹800 signup bonus after KYC ($10 for international accounts).
