Some links may earn us a commission — it never affects rankings or scores (disclosure). Value Rank = hardware-for-the-money, 0–100: 50 = the hardware-per-dollar of a typical plan at that price, every +25 = twice the hardware per dollar (CPU + RAM + storage + network, corrected for the market's price elasticity — formula public on the methodology page).
