Latitude.sh vs PowerGPU at a glance
Latitude.sh
Bare metal GPU by the hour or the month: H100, RTX PRO 6000, HGX B300 across the Americas, Europe and Asia
PowerGPU
Fixed prices at market median × 0.70, crypto only, verified datacenters
| Latitude.sh | PowerGPU | |
|---|---|---|
| Billing | Hourly or monthly, chosen per server; monthly is 30% off the hourly-equivalent rate, yearly is 50% off | Per second, no minimum, price locked at deploy |
| Payment | Card (automatic $5 verification hold, refunded in 7 days) or crypto — USDC on Solana or Ethereum | Crypto only — USDT (TRC-20/ERC-20), BTC, XMR, LTC, ETH, TRX, SOL |
| Identity | Not published beyond payment-method verification | Email + password. No KYC, no card, no stored IP addresses |
| Free credit | None published | None — every hour is ≥30% under the market median instead |
| Cheaper tier | Reserved billing only — 30% off monthly, 50% off yearly versus the hourly rate; no interruptible/spot tier | Interruptible flat −50% (no auction) · reserved −35% (3+ months) |
| Regions | Roughly 25 locations across the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific; GPU plan availability by location is not itemised on the pricing page | 32 regions on 5 continents, verified datacenters only |
| Minimums | Whole server per plan — 1× H100, or 8× on the RTX PRO 6000 and B300 nodes | None — 1× to 8× GPUs at the same per-GPU price |
| Storage | Fixed NVMe included per plan (2 to 4 drives); no separate GPU-attached volume product listed | $0.08/GB/month NVMe, volumes survive instances |
| Egress | 20 TB outbound free per server per month, then $0.01/GB; inbound always free | $0.01/GB in and out, every region |
| Access | Account dashboard and REST API; bare metal implies root access, not itemised on the pricing page | Containers or full KVM VMs, SSH, Jupyter, REST API, CLI, Python SDK |

Latitude.sh vs PowerGPU prices, GPU by GPU
Public on-demand list prices per GPU-hour on Latitude.sh's pricing page (2026-09-04) against PowerGPU's fixed rates today — every PowerGPU price is the public marketplace median × 0.70, rounded down, re-checked weekly.
| GPU | Latitude.sh list | PowerGPU on-demand | PowerGPU interruptible | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| H100 PCIE g3.h100.small, 1x H100 80 GB · $1,230/mo; PCIe inferred from the single-GPU packaging, not labelled by Latitude.sh | $1.68 | $1.867 | $0.933 | +11% on PowerGPU |
| RTX PRO 6000 S g4.rtx6kpro.large, 8x RTX PRO 6000 Server Edition, $24/hr node ÷ 8 · $17,520/mo node | $3.00 | $1.073 | $0.536 | −64% on PowerGPU |
| B300 g4.b300.large, 8x HGX B300, $64/hr node ÷ 8 · $46,720/mo node | $8.00 | $6.737 | $3.368 | −16% on PowerGPU |
Configurations differ (node sizes, tiers, regions); the note beside each card says which Latitude.sh price is quoted. Negative differences mean Latitude.sh is cheaper on that card.
When to stay with Latitude.sh
- You want hourly and monthly servers side by side on one account and the option to flip a given server between the two.
- A regional footprint this dense in Latin America specifically (Buenos Aires, Bogotá, Santiago, São Paulo ×2) matters more than raw region count elsewhere.
- A 50%-off yearly commitment on a bare metal node fits your budgeting better than a rolling reserved discount.
Why teams switch to PowerGPU
- Price: the H100 is fixed at market median × 0.70 here versus $1.68/hr at Latitude.sh's g3.h100.small, and the RTX PRO 6000 gap is wider still ($3.00/GPU-hour on the 8-way node).
- Single GPUs on every model, not just the H100: Latitude.sh's RTX PRO 6000 and B300 are 8-GPU-only nodes with no smaller size published.
- Direct crypto settlement in USDT, BTC, XMR, LTC, ETH, TRX or SOL, instead of a card hold or a USDC-only crypto option.
- 32 regions on five continents, each confirmed to carry the full GPU line-up, versus roughly 25 locations where GPU availability is not itemised per site.
Switching from Latitude.sh: what maps to what
| On Latitude.sh | On PowerGPU |
|---|---|
| g3.h100.small / g4.rtx6kpro.large / g4.b300.large | Instance, 1× to 8× GPUs at the same per-GPU price |
| Hourly billing | Instance, per second, no minimum |
| Monthly / yearly reserved billing (−30% / −50%) | Reserved instance, flat −35% from 3 months |
| Fixed NVMe per plan | Instance disk plus volumes at $0.08/GB/month if more is needed |
| Dashboard / REST API | powergpu dashboard / REST API / CLI |
pip install powergpu

Templates for PyTorch, vLLM, ComfyUI and Ollama are official images; anything else runs from its OCI reference.
A real month, costed
| Scenario | Latitude.sh | PowerGPU |

Latitude.sh alternative: FAQ
Is PowerGPU cheaper than Latitude.sh?
Yes on both published cards: Latitude.sh's g3.h100.small (1x H100 80 GB) is $1.68/hr and its g4.rtx6kpro.large (8x RTX PRO 6000) works out to $3.00/GPU-hour from its $24/hr node price (checked 2026-09-04); PowerGPU fixes both cards at the public market median × 0.70.
Does Latitude.sh still offer the L40S?
Not on its current pricing page: only the H100, RTX PRO 6000 and HGX B300 plans are listed as of 2026-09-04. Latitude's changelog announced L40S availability previously; treat any L40S price quoted for Latitude.sh elsewhere as unconfirmed.
Can I rent a single GPU instead of a full node?
For the H100, yes — g3.h100.small is already a 1-GPU server. For the RTX PRO 6000 and B300, Latitude.sh only lists 8-GPU nodes; PowerGPU rents both cards from 1× at the same per-GPU price, fixed at the market median × 0.70.
Try the switch for the price of a coffee
Top up $40 in USDT or Monero, deploy the same image you run on Latitude.sh, and benchmark it. No card, no KYC, per-second billing — stop it the minute you are done.
