Distributed GPU cloud running containers on idle consumer PCs
Salad homepage
Salad bills per second while an instance runs, and charges nothing while a container group allocates or pulls its image.
GPU container groups are priced per GPU per hour at one of four priority levels, vCPU and RAM included. CPU-only groups bill per vCPU and per GB. Credits are prepaid, with volume discounts of 2-10%.
Each card leads with a per GPU per hour rate. We prefer configurations the provider reports as in stock, on-demand rates before reserved or spot, then take the lowest per-GPU rate among those.
We match the GPU model, form factor, billing type, availability and instance name. Matching is partial and case-insensitive. Everyday words work too, so "interruptible" finds spot and "sold out" finds out of stock.
Salad lists 35 GPU models across 72 configurations, including the RTX 5090, RTX 4090 and RTX 3090. Prices start at $0.0150 /GPU/hr on spot.
No GPU models match .
Heads up: A provider's own page may quote a different figure, for example on tax, region or a promotion. A monthly-only plan shows a derived hourly rate. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price. See Salad's pricing.
