Hetzner changes prices based on IP

Tax related.
On https://www.hetzner.com/cloud/ it says €96.49. At the very bottom of the page, the last three words are "Prices excl. VAT"
When logged in, on the console.hetzner.cloud when I select CCX43 I see €114.23 and below it says "All prices incl. 19 % VAT"
€96.49 * 1.19 = 114.8231

Hey there, I asked about this phenomenon. Your office may be using "incognito" mode or something similar to hide its IP/browser, and when this happens the requests are then automatically set to "all others" (OT) for the tax setting on the site, and that setting has 0% VAT. --Katie

Some places do A/B testing with prices too, but they have to do it in a way that the prices won't change every time. Try using a VPN to get cheaper prices?
Also some will price based around the user agent - coming in on an Apple device might cost more.

I'm curious what other people are seeing from their home vs work.
