Quick back of the napkin math, but Google Compute Engine (while it is shared) is significantly less expensive than Packet. This is just comparing purely on price though.

  Packet - $292/mo
    4 cores
    32 GB memory
    128 GB SSD

  Google Compute Engine - $176/mo
     $156 - custom-4-32-extended
      4 cores / 32 GB memory 
     $20 - 120 GB SSD storage

"4 cores" on GCE means 4 hyperthreads, or 2 physical cores.
