Price comparison
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.
Vast.ai Pricing
Vast.ai operates as a global marketplace where pricing is billed per second and broken into three components:
-
Active rental cost for the GPU, charged only when an instance is running.
-
Storage cost for allocated disk space, which applies as long as the instance exists (even when stopped).
-
Bandwidth costs for data transfer.
