Hetzner lists 2 configurations from $50; UpCloud lists one configuration from $30. Both figures are listed prices from the Buy Cloud Mart catalogue.
How these two compare
Hetzner and UpCloud 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 Hetzner listing carries 2 configurations, priced $50 to $90, while UpCloud carries one configuration, priced a single listed price of $30. Hetzner is the option with accounts sized by how many servers they carry; UpCloud is the option with one credit-backed configuration at a single price.
Entry pricing differs by $20: UpCloud opens at $30 against $50 for Hetzner. 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. Hetzner is listed here with a European footprint, while UpCloud 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 Hetzner
Hetzner is worth reviewing first if the configuration you need is actually on its list. Its catalogue entries are Hetzner 5 Server Account, Hetzner 10 Server Account, 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 UpCloud
UpCloud is the better first look if your requirement leans the other way. It lists $500 Credit. The single listed option removes the configuration decision entirely, 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.
