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 the date shown on that page; 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 the date printed at the top of that page, 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.
How often are these pages updated?
PowerGPU prices on every page are live: they follow the weekly re-check of the market median. Competitor list prices are re-read when a page is revisited; the date at the top of each page says when. If you spot a change we have not caught, the provider's own pricing page wins.
