But the Vultr $20 plan with 2GB RAM also has more bandwidth and disk space, and 2 CPU cores instead of 1. So I guess it depends on what you're looking for. I still think it's a great deal for what you get.

For standard plans, both Vultr and Linode have 1 CPU core at $10, both have 2 CPU cores at $20, and so on. Up to $80 a month, both companies have the same CPU count, but Linode has double the RAM. Vultr's bandwidth starts out a bit better but is surpassed by Linode as the price tiers increase. Linode's disk space is also a bit more generous.

Were it not for Vultr's current promotion matching the first $100 of funds that new customers put in their accounts, I would think that they seem uninterested in competing.
