GCP seems much less expensive. Compared to Azure, for instance, I've found VM to cost from 50% to 10%. (Not to mention the SSD options aren't idiotically lame.) The GCP portal and speed also totally obliterates Azure.

AWS had more complicated pricing via that weird reservation system and "reselling" marketplace. But GCP, as far as I could tell, was still a bit less expensive.

There's a couple of posts on the GCP blog where they compare equivalent as possible setups, comes out a bit cheaper than AWS.
