Salad CloudDistributed consumer GPUs
A distributed cloud running containers on gaming GPUs in homes and small businesses, with four priority tiers and some of the lowest RTX prices anywhere. Below: their published rates read on 15 October 2026, what they add up to over a full month, and the cases where Salad Cloud is simply the better choice.
Every model Salad Cloud 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 | Salad Cloud published rate | One month, 24/7 | Our monthly | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NVIDIA RTX 509032 GB GDDR7 | $0.50/h High priority · $0.25 batch | $365 | $279 | −24% |
| NVIDIA RTX 409024 GB GDDR6X | $0.33/h High priority · $0.16 batch | $241 | $189 | −22% |
Salad prices four priority tiers; only the High tier is never preempted by other workloads — and it can still lose its node if the host disconnects. vCPU and RAM are included.
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 salad.com.
Both of these lists are real. Pick the column that describes your workload.
Choose Salad Cloud if your workload is stateless, batch-friendly and tolerant of nodes disappearing — image generation at scale, for example.
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.
