While not exactly apples-to-apples in all scenarios, I encourage people to use Spot Instances on AWS whenever possible. We run all our web traffic on spot instances, for example.
Spot pricing really closes that gap. A m6g.2xlarge is ~220/month on-demand, $140/month with a yearly RI, and $60/month as a spot instance.
Hetzner is still cheaper for sure if you have a stateful, 24/7 workload. But if I use auto scaling on spot instances (where a good chunk of compute is only running for a part of the day) then the math starts getting much much closer.
