Not sure. They were cheaper than DigitalOcean, to the point where 1 DO instance cost would give you 3 on Hetzner, but now they're at parity, and DO seems to have a better product.

The vps performance is not comparable to a dedicated server. Same cpu’s still means twice as slow. Also hetzner alllows for much larger servers in terms of memory at still a fraction of do pricing
Why do you think it's a better product? Slicker interface?
Hosted Postgres, hosted K8s, block storage that can IOPS.
The reason I use a VPS is to not use hosted anything, personally. So I guess whether that makes it a better product or not is highly personal.
Speaking for myself, I used $5 DO droplets for quite a while when learning but as soon as I switched to real projects and realized how quickly the price ramped up, I moved to Hetzner and the simplicity of their interface was a breath of fresh air. I saved a ton of time after switching. So to me, Hetzner has the superior product.

Probably more versatile. Hetzner is just VPSes. They do not offer any PaaS product like managed DBs, managed Redis, wahtever.
