Price comparison
TensorWave Pricing
TensorWave publishes a starting per-GPU hourly rate for each bare metal node and quotes the final price through sales. There is no self-serve signup.
MI455X capacity on Helios racks can be reserved ahead of launch, with no rate announced.
Vast.ai Pricing
Hosts set their own rates. Compute is billed per second from prepaid credits. Storage charges continue while an instance is stopped, and bandwidth fees vary by host.
- On-demand: Fixed rates for the offer's maximum duration.
- Interruptible: Bid for capacity. Instances pause if you're outbid or an on-demand renter takes the machine.
- Reserved: Prepay for a fixed term, with larger discounts for longer commitments.
