Kimsufi has dedicated servers starting at 5$ per month. Yes, it's an atom, but it's yours alone, and is going to beat these on performance, memory and riskspace.
DO and Linode are very expensive compared to OVH, Scaleway or Hetzner. So this reads as "Lightsail announces 50% price drop, will still be very expensive" (From another comment: https://snag.gy/3Q1fL0.jpg ) -> $3.50 for 512 MB of RAM is a fucking rip-off compared to this: https://www.scaleway.com/
If all you're interested in comparing is price, then yes it is still expensive, but there are other considerations such as network quality, support responsiveness, the actual performance of the VPS.
Why is there only 3 providers there ? This should probably include others like OVH, Scaleway, Vultr,

Maybe OVH, Scaleway and Hetzner are better than DO and Linode in that regard.

Also hetzner cloud I dont know about the cores that hetzner provides and how they compare to the competitors, but ~3$ for a somewhat usable VPS is damn competetive (not affiliated with hetzner in any way, other than I have one of those 3$ instances)

I think the feature-set and cost are in proportion, if you see what I mean. Compared to AWS EC2 its a great value proposition.
Interestingly, they recently announced a 'dedicated vCPU' option for about 10x the price. Top option is €269 vs €29, 32 GB vs 128 GB RAM. But I'v found the performance of the default product to be perfectly good for my needs.
The major shortfall with Hetnzer I have found is that the storage isn't scalable. You get what you get. You can choose SSD RAID or Ceph, but you still get the same allowance.
I'd love to hear from anyone else using it.
Edit: not Hetzner's traditional servers. I've used those too, and they're great value for money if you get them through their server bidding offering.

If you're in the developed world, $2 vs $5 etc does not matter in most cases. The most important factor is that your host does what you need it to do, that the network is excellent and your servers are located where you need them to be.
If you're an American business you'd be foolish to host your servers in the EU. Locating your servers in the EU opens you up to their jurisdiction, which is a mistake, you'd be unnecessarily exposing yourself to multiple jurisdiction compliance. That problem is only going to get dramatically worse in the coming years. It's not worth worrying about saving a couple of dollars over.
