Best price region
The cheapest launch-set region for a machine and the saving versus the region you are viewing.
GCP list prices vary by region. The Best price region column finds, across the regions this explorer covers, the cheapest on-demand rate for each machine and shows the percentage you would save running it there instead of the region on screen.
It is a fast way to spot when a nearby region is materially cheaper — the region name links straight to that region’s full price table.
