How we sort results
Default ranking
Our algorithm weighs five factors to find the most relevant matches for you:
- Price: We blend total hourly price with price-per-GPU to balance affordability and value.
- Specs: We favor offers with higher CPU, RAM, and GPU Memory.
- Billing: We favor on-demand billing for simplicity and flexibility over spot instances, reservations, and custom quotes.
- Location: We blend both datacenter proximity and provider HQ location. Datacenter location matters for latency, while HQ location matters for compliance and support.
- Provider diversity: Each time a provider appears in the list, their subsequent offerings are ranked a little lower, so one provider's offerings don't crowd out the top positions.
Sorting and filtering

Transparency and funding
Ads and sponsors: Any paid placements are fixed at the top and clearly labeled as sponsored content.
Affiliates: Any affiliate links will be indicated to you as well. We may earn a commission if you click them, but this never influences the ranking order.
