Like-for-like, across clouds
Compare
A list price is not a measurement until you say what it measures. Every number here is normalised onto one stated unit before anything is compared — and every number shows the SKUs it was built from, so you can check the working rather than take it on faith.
Why these prices can be compared at all
Vendors do not sell the same shape. Google prices a machine's cores and its memory separately; AWS prices the whole instance. So a like-for-like figure is composed — four cores plus sixteen gigabytes on one side, the instance type whose spec is four cores and sixteen gigabytes on the other. Where both vendors publish the same unit already, such as a gigabyte-month of object storage, the comparison is direct. Every result is scoped to one region group and one pricing model, so a committed rate is never held up against an on-demand one.

Not enough to compare here
Nothing in the corpus satisfies this combination. Shapes are matched exactly rather than approximated — a near-miss configuration would be a made-up number.
