The prices are relatively lower compared to others. It is a good option for medium-sized businesses. However, businesses should also consider other vendors to ensure they meet their specific security and feature requirements
IBM has a lesser price compared to other cloud service providers like Azure and AWS. So that's why people are referring mostly to IBM rather than the other cloud services. Most South American countries, like Brazil and Mexico, are likely to deploy their infrastructure in IBM rather than AWS and Azure.
I constantly are increasing and decreasing the resources. It's auto-scalable. If one day, I have more resources and more people entering, it automatically increases the number of resources available. I pay for what I use.

IBM Public Cloud is pretty cheap. They have an ongoing free tier that won't expire, so as long as your solution is small enough, you can have a test set that you can use for demos, which will cost you almost nothing.

If you are an enterprise, or even just one person handling the solution for multiple clients, you will need to get a license. That said, you don't have to pay for licenses if you're an individual developer, but if you're handling a little more load, then you need to pay for licenses.

The IBM Cloud is priced well, and much lower than offerings by the competitors. The commercial model is different from the other providers. In order to be competitive, you have to commit to a contract for at least one year, but you pay a fixed monthly fee. This is one of the advantages because, with the competitors, the amount you pay varies every month.
The price of IBM Cloud is very cheap compared to competitors AWS and Azure. The licensing fees are billed on a monthly basis and some costs vary between cities. For example, data centers in smaller cities will cost less. The savings in operating costs of a remote data center are passed on to the customer. Premium support is available for an additional cost.
IBM Cloud is a full-stack cloud platform that spans public, private and hybrid environments. Build with a robust suite of advanced data and AI tools, and draw on deep industry expertise to help you on your journey to the cloud.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten.

It pretty much has a standard price. There is no hidden price with IBM Public Cloud.
The licensing is monthly, but I do not have specifics about the cost.

Pricing is not as fair as Amazon or Azure. It needs improvement.
The licensing fees are straightforward and predictable.
