Astroworld vs Apex Hosting

Per gigabyte against a fixed plan

Buying memory by the gigabyte sounds like the fairer model and often is, right up to the point where the thing slowing your server down is not memory. Ticks are CPU work: a server can sit at half its heap and still miss ticks because one plugin is doing too much per tick. A per-GB price tells you nothing about how much processor comes with those gigabytes, which is why every one of our plans names the vCPU count on the tin: 2 vCPU on Mini at €6.99 a month on a twenty-four month term, and more on every tier above it. If you already know your server is memory-bound rather than CPU-bound, the per-GB model will cost you less, and you should take it.

Summary

Apex is the older and better-known name, and brand recognition is worth something when you are handing a server address to twenty people. The honest difference is what the price buys: they sell you memory, we sell you a machine with a stated number of cores, a stated amount of memory and stated storage. Neither is a trick; they answer different questions.
