Competitor names and logos belong to their owners and identify the compared service only. List prices are quoted from each provider's public pricing page on 2026-09-03; they change — verify before deciding.

Choosing a GPU cloud: FAQ

Side-by-side hardware decisions live in GPU comparisons; full-month budgets in the cost calculator.

How are competitor prices on these pages collected?

Each page quotes the public list price shown on the provider's own pricing page on 2026-09-03, on-demand, per GPU-hour, before taxes, with the configuration in a note. When a provider is cheaper on a card, the page says so. PowerGPU prices are live from the sheet.

What makes PowerGPU different from all of them?

One public rule instead of a price list: every on-demand price is the public marketplace median × 0.70, re-checked weekly. Add per-second billing, crypto-only payment with no KYC, verified datacenters with a 99.9% SLA, and a flat −50% interruptible tier.

Which provider is not on this list?

Peer-to-peer GPU marketplaces are not compared by name; the pricing page explains how their public median anchors our prices instead.
