vs
LambdaOn-demand cloud from a GPU builder
The cloud arm of a company that has built GPU workstations and servers for a decade — formerly Lambda Labs — with 1–8 GPU instances and a familiar ML image. Below: their published rates read on 15 October 2026, what they add up to over a full month, and the cases where Lambda is simply the better choice.
Every model Lambda publishes that we also rent. Their rate is the standard on-demand tier — spot and preemptible tiers are cheaper and noted where they exist.
| GPU | Lambda published rate | One month, 24/7 | Our monthly | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NVIDIA B200180 GB HBM3e | $6.69–$6.99/h depending on instance size | $4,884 | $2,690 | −45% |
| NVIDIA H100 SXM80 GB HBM3 | $3.99–$4.29/h (SXM) depending on instance size | $2,913 | $1,249 | −57% |
| NVIDIA A10080 GB HBM2e | $2.79/h (SXM 80 GB, 8-GPU instances) · $1.99 for 40 GB | $2,037 | $649 | −68% |
Our price includes the dedicated CPU, RAM and NVMe listed on the pricing table, 20 TB of outbound transfer and a 99.9% SLA. Read on 15 October 2026 from lambda.ai.
Both of these lists are real. Pick the column that describes your workload.
Choose Lambda if you want a well-trodden ML environment for a few days at a time and prefer a big name to a low price.
Choose us if the GPUs stay busy, you want the bill to be predictable, and you would rather not hand over an identity document to rent a computer.
| What to check | Lambda | GPU Cloud HQ |
|---|---|---|
| How you are billed | Per minute, invoiced weekly | Flat monthly price, prepaid balance, invoices settle themselves |
| Commitment | None on demand; 1-Click Clusters reserved from 2 weeks to 1 year | Rolling month, or 3/6/12 months for 5–15% off |
| Signing up & identity | Self-serve for on-demand instances | Self-serve, email address only — no KYC |
| How you pay | Major credit cards only — prepaid and debit cards are declined | Bitcoin, Ether, USDT (ERC-20 / TRC-20) — no KYC, no card |
| What you actually get | Virtual machines with 1, 2, 4 or 8 GPUs | Single-tenant bare metal, root access |
| Network | No egress fees | 10–25 Gbps dedicated, 20 TB egress included |
For a machine that stays busy, yes: Lambda publishes $3.99–$4.29/h (SXM) depending on instance size, which is $2,913 for a 730-hour month, against $1,249 flat here for a dedicated H100 — about 57% less. Below roughly 313 hours of use a month, their hourly rate works out cheaper.
You want a well-trodden ML environment for a few days at a time and prefer a big name to a low price. If that is you, stay with them — we would rather say so than sell you the wrong thing.
No. Every price on this page is public on both sides. When you do order here, an email address is all we ask for: no ID document, no company registration, no card — the balance is funded in Bitcoin, Ether or USDT.
They were read on 15 October 2026 from Lambda's own pricing page (https://lambda.ai/instances). Providers change prices without notice — the link is there so you can check today's figure yourself.
Every GPU is in stock, the price is public, and the first invoice settles from your balance in minutes.
