No, but Google Compute Engine does a bit. For instance, Azure is at least twice as expensive than Google for cloud compute. (In addition to having their weirdass PaaS design leaking into their IaaS. Nice service otherwise.) I was super hesitant to use Google for anything (A: because I dislike them now, B: I couldn't be sure they'd be committed to it, C: I recall they screwed people on Google App Engine?). But their offering is so much more straightforward and much cheaper. No commits, just use VMs and get discounts. GCE is also way faster to start up. And single-core performance blows away Azure. Azure and AWS make a big deal about storage and transfer, while ignoring they're way overpricing the CPU. Edit: Here's Google's pricing "philosophy": https://cloud.google.com/pricing/philosophy/ https://cloud.google.com/pricing/philosophy/ where they explicitly say they're committed to Moore's Law and others aren't.
