Azure lists 2 configurations from $25; OVHcloud lists 2 configurations from $30. Both figures are listed prices from the Buy Cloud Mart catalogue.
How these two compare
Azure and OVHcloud sit in different places in the Buy Cloud Mart catalogue, and the practical difference shows up in how many ways you can buy each one. The Azure listing carries 2 configurations, priced a single listed price of $25, while OVHcloud carries 2 configurations, priced $30 to $250. Azure is the option with two credit-backed entry points at a single flat price; OVHcloud is the option with a high-vCPU entry build and an open port 25 option in Europe.
Entry pricing differs by $5: Azure opens at $25 against $30 for OVHcloud. That gap matters less than it looks if you need something from the upper end of either range, which is where the two catalogues diverge most.
Data residency is the clearest split in this pairing. OVHcloud is listed here with a European footprint, while Azure is listed as global. If a project has a stated requirement to keep workloads inside Europe, that constraint usually settles the choice before pricing enters the discussion.

Who may prefer Azure
Azure is worth reviewing first if the configuration you need is actually on its list. Its catalogue entries are Free Trial with $200 Credit, Pay-As-You-Go with $200 Credit, so if one of those names matches the shape of your project, the decision is straightforward. Teams that want a short, unambiguous list tend to start here.
Who may prefer OVHcloud
OVHcloud is the better first look if your requirement leans the other way. It lists 34 vCPUs, Open 25 Port. Each option names exactly what it contains, which suits buyers who already know what they need and want to order without weighing tiers against each other.
Before you order either one
Whichever side you choose, the same checks apply. Confirm the configuration and any credit balance on the product page before ordering, and after handover change the root email where possible, enable multi-factor authentication, create a separate administrative user and review the billing settings. Credit terms are set by the cloud platform, not by Buy Cloud Mart, so verify any balance inside the provider’s own billing console once the account is yours.
