A few things here:
1. We pay basically the same prices for dedicated hardware you would. Hetzner is cheap, in part, because they run in a single facility and optimize for price. We run in 22 locations and optimize for "cheap enough for most app devs".
2. All our servers are AMD Epyc CPUs – meaning more expensive than consumer CPUs. Our margin on hardware is almost exactly 70%, if that helps.
We're not competing with Hetzner, Hetzner is a great f'n company. If they do what you need we'd rather you use Hetzner. I could give you some TCO nonsense but I won't. I do think we're a pretty good value though!
