Usability score

Blended from the published feature set and owner comments on everyday use. Not hands-on testing.

Uptime guarantee
8
Optimized Cloud Compute shares Vultr's 100% SLA; a 2-hour outage earns 120 hours of credit, claimed through a ticket.
Price transparency
10
The $30 General Purpose rate is Vultr's standing list price, with no first-term discount to lose.
Money-back terms
9
Optimized instances stop billing by the hour once destroyed, yet Vultr's no-refund rule on paid credit costs one point.
Published infrastructure
4
Optimized plans list NVMe SSD and 34 regions; caching, a web stack, CDN and free backups are not part of the plan.
Support access
3
Optimized Cloud Compute support is the same 24/7 ticket queue as Vultr's cheaper plans, with no chat or phone.

Social score

The mean of the public owner-review pools we could find, adjusted for volume and recency.
