Price comparison
Build AI's Pricing
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.
Build AI offers GPUs in the following configurations:
| Name | GPUs | VRAM | vCPUs | RAM | Price/h | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A100 (spot) | 1x A100 | 40GB | 15 | 200GB | $1.05 | Source |
| A100 | 1x A100 | 40GB | 15 | 200GB | $1.42 | Source |
| A100 (spot) | 1x A100 | 80GB | 30 | 225GB | $1.45 | Source |
