I evaluated AWS and GCP for my startup and found GCP to be more expensive. The horror stories I've read about Google's lack of customer support put me off too.

Many bootstrapped startups go with the cloud provider that gives the them largest startup bonus, which can be up to $100k to use in 12 months (AFAIK).

and then they spend the next year migrating to a "more realistic" deployment or burn half their money on cloud computing.

Out of curiosity, was there one cost that was significantly more? or was it across multiple services? Do you mind sharing your setup a bit more?
