Price comparison

How do Build AI's prices compare against CUDO Compute?

Example configuration	Build AI	CUDO Compute
VM Small	--	$7.96 / mo 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM
VM Medium	--	$32.65 / mo 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM
VM Large	--	$54.86 / mo 8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM

What makes Build AI's pricing stand out is that you can run your workload on interruptible GPUs (spot) and save up to 50% of the cost. They claim interruptions last about 2 hours per day, which makes them particularly suited for training workloads.

If you require guaranteed uptime, non-interruptible GPUs can be reserved on their platform too.
