How we sort results
Default ranking
Two things group the list before anything else is weighed:
- Availability: in stock, then waitlist, then unconfirmed, then out of stock.
- Billing type: on-demand rates rank ahead of spot and reserved ones. A spot rate is cheaper because it can be reclaimed, and a reserved rate because it is a commitment.
Within each group, our algorithm weighs four factors to find the most relevant matches for you:
- Location: We blend datacenter proximity with provider HQ location.
- Price: We blend total hourly price with price-per-GPU to balance affordability and value.
- Specs: A light tiebreaker favoring higher GPU count, GPU memory, CPU, and RAM.
- 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.
The two views
By provider groups this ranking one card per provider, and each provider takes the position its best-ranked configuration reached. By configuration lists the same offerings flat, one row each.
In the configuration view you can click any column header to sort by that column, switch billing type with the tabs above the table, and narrow by GPU count, vCPUs or RAM with the filters beneath them. Custom sorting replaces the default relevance ranking.
Transparency and funding
Ads and sponsors: Any paid placements are fixed at the top and 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.
