An honest read
Both of these lists are real. Pick the column that describes your workload.
Where Vast.ai wins
The cheapest GPU-hours on the open market, by a wide margin, if you chase spot.
Huge choice of hardware, including consumer cards nobody else rents.
Per-second billing with no contract at all.
Choose Vast.ai if price is the only variable that matters, your job checkpoints well, and an interruption costs you nothing but time.
Where we win
One flat monthly invoice. No meter, no egress fee, no storage line item — the number is fixed for your whole term.
Single-tenant bare metal. The whole machine, with its CPU, RAM and NVMe, not a container beside someone else's job.
No KYC, paid in crypto. An email address, a prepaid balance in BTC, ETH or USDT, and renewals settle themselves.
Live in under 10 minutes, with a 99.9% SLA, 4-hour hardware replacement and engineers on call 24/7.
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.
Host-by-host ratings; interruptible instances can be reclaimed when outbid
99.9% uptime SLA with service credits
Questions people actually ask
Is GPU Cloud HQ cheaper than Vast.ai?
For a machine that stays busy, yes: Vast.ai publishes $0.51–$1.74/h depending on host (spot → on-demand), which is $1,270 for a 730-hour month, against $1,249 flat here for a dedicated H100 — about 2% less. Below roughly 718 hours of use a month, their hourly rate works out cheaper.
What do I lose by leaving Vast.ai?
Price is the only variable that matters, your job checkpoints well, and an interruption costs you nothing but time. If that is you, stay with them — we would rather say so than sell you the wrong thing.
Do I need an account or an identity check to compare?
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.
