Price comparison

GPU.ai logo GPU.ai Pricing

Billed per second, from the moment an instance reaches SSH-ready until it is stopped, with no minimums and no idle reservation fees. On-demand rates vary by region and upstream provider, and the platform routes each launch to the cheapest one with stock. Reserved capacity is quote-only and arranged with sales.

Salad logo Salad Pricing

Salad bills per hour for resources actually consumed, with no commitments. Instances are priced by component, combining the GPU rate with per-vCPU and per-GB memory rates, plus a priority level that trades cost against scheduling preference. Volume discounts are available for large deployments.
