Cheapest offering

How offerings of the same model are compared.

Many models are sold by several providers. Offerings of the same model are compared like this:

  1. 01

    Your providers

    Only offerings on your providers count.

  2. 02

    Every capability

    An offering missing one you require is skipped, however cheap.

  3. 03

    Cheapest typical call

    List price plus fees, adjusted by your provider_terms.

  1. Only offerings on your providers count.
  2. Only offerings with every capability your need requires count; a cheaper offering missing one is skipped.
  3. The cheapest typical call wins: the list price plus the provider's fees, adjusted by your provider_terms.
  4. Ties go to the provider you listed first, then to GA over preview.
  5. The other offerings come back in also_on with their price, as a ready fallback if a provider is down.
