Public list prices checked 2026-09-04." url: https://powergpu.ai/alternatives/ovhcloud last_modified: 2026-09-14T11:04:20+00:00 prices_as_of: 2026-09-14 site: PowerGPU (powergpu.ai) --- Alternative · prices checked 2026-09-04 # OVHcloud GPU alternative: same NVIDIA GPUs, fixed prices 30% under the market OVHcloud is a European infrastructure provider built around data sovereignty: self-service Public Cloud GPU instances (H100, A100, L40S, L4) billed hourly, plus dedicated Scale and HGR-AI bare-metal GPU servers sold by quote outside the self-service catalog. The current H100/A100/L40S/L4 flavors are concentrated in a single region, Gravelines (GRA11), while OVHcloud's non-GPU Public Cloud spans dozens of datacenters across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific. Billing is hourly, payment is by card or SEPA, and most European and North American datacenters include unlimited outbound bandwidth. 4 min read Updated 2026-09-14 (PowerGPU prices live from the sheet) ## OVHcloud vs PowerGPU at a glance OVHcloud European sovereign cloud: hourly Public Cloud GPUs, Scale/HGR-AI bare metal by quote PowerGPU Fixed prices at market median × 0.70, crypto only, verified datacenters | | OVHcloud | PowerGPU | | --- | --- | --- | | Billing | Per hour (Public Cloud GPU instances); Scale/HGR-AI dedicated servers quoted separately | Per second, no minimum, price locked at deploy | | Payment | Card, SEPA direct debit, PayPal; invoicing for business accounts | Crypto only — USDT (TRC-20/ERC-20), BTC, XMR, LTC, ETH, TRX, SOL | | Identity | Account and card/SEPA verification; KYB for dedicated bare metal | Email + password.

Details change — verify before you decide. ## OVHcloud vs PowerGPU prices, GPU by GPU Public on-demand list prices per GPU-hour on OVHcloud'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 | OVHcloud list | PowerGPU on-demand | PowerGPU interruptible | Difference | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [H100 PCIE](https://powergpu.ai/gpu/h100-pcie) (h100-380 flavor, 1× GPU 80 GB, Public Cloud GRA11 (Gravelines) · h100-1 flavor $3.39) | $2.99 | **$1.867** | $0.933 | −38% on PowerGPU | | [A100 PCIE](https://powergpu.ai/gpu/a100-pcie) (a100-180 flavor, 1× GPU 80 GB, Public Cloud GRA11) | $3.07 | **$0.374** | $0.187 | −88% on PowerGPU | | [L40S](https://powergpu.ai/gpu/l40s) (l40s-1-gpu flavor, 1× GPU 48 GB, Public Cloud GRA11) | $1.69 | **$0.514** | $0.257 | −70% on PowerGPU | | [L4](https://powergpu.ai/gpu/l4) (l4-1-gpu flavor, 1× GPU 24 GB, Public Cloud GRA11) | $0.91 | **$0.225** | $0.112 | −75% on PowerGPU | Configurations differ (node sizes, tiers, regions); the note beside each card says which OVHcloud price is quoted. Negative differences mean OVHcloud is cheaper on that card. ## When to stay with OVHcloud - Data sovereignty in a French/EU-headquartered cloud is a hard requirement for your workload. - Free, unlimited outbound bandwidth in EU/North American datacenters matters more than the per-GPU rate for bandwidth-heavy jobs. - You need a quoted Scale/HGR-AI bare-metal contract rather than a self-service hourly instance. ## Why teams switch to PowerGPU - Every current OVHcloud GPU flavor sits in one region, Gravelines; PowerGPU fixes the same cards at market median × 0.70 across 32 regions on five continents. - Consumer and workstation cards (RTX 5090, 4090, RTX PRO 6000) that OVHcloud does not sell in self-service Public Cloud. - No card, no SEPA mandate, no KYC — top up in crypto and deploy in about 30 seconds instead of provisioning through the Manager console. - A flat −50% interruptible tier and −35% reserved tier instead of a quote-only discount process. ## Switching from OVHcloud: what maps to what | On OVHcloud | On PowerGPU | | --- | --- | | H100 / A100 / L40S / L4 instance (GRA11) | Instance — the same cards available in all 32 regions | | Additional Disk (Classic Volume) | Volume, $0.08/GB/month | | Scale / HGR-AI bare metal (quoted) | 8× SXM machine or a cluster at the same per-GPU price, no quote needed | | OVHcloud Manager / API / Terraform | powergpu CLI / REST API / Terraform provider | *the whole migration, from the shell* ``` pip install powergpu export POWERGPU_API_KEY=pg_live_… # console → API keys powergpu launch --gpu h100-pcie --template pytorch --disk 100 --volume data:/data # ✓ instance i-52ab77c1 running (24.1s) · $1.867/hr · per second powergpu stop i-52ab77c1 # billing ends this second ``` Data moves the boring way: rsync or rclone from your OVHcloud machine to a PowerGPU [volume](https://powergpu.ai/products/volumes), which then mounts on every future instance in seconds. Templates for [PyTorch](https://powergpu.ai/templates/pytorch), [vLLM](https://powergpu.ai/templates/vllm), [ComfyUI](https://powergpu.ai/templates/comfyui) and [Ollama](https://powergpu.ai/templates/ollama) are official images; anything else runs from its OCI reference. ## A real month, costed | Scenario | OVHcloud | PowerGPU | | --- | --- | --- | | 1× H100 PCIE, 730 hours on-demand | $2,183 | **$1,363** | | 1× H100 PCIE, 8 h/day × 20 days | $478 | **$299** | | Same 160 hours, PowerGPU interruptible | — | **$149** | | 500 GB of storage, one month | Classic Volume about $0.047/GB/month (€0.04, converted) | $40 | Run your own schedule through the [cost calculator](https://powergpu.ai/calculator) — it adds storage and bandwidth and compares against the marketplace median. ## OVHcloud GPU alternative: FAQ **Is PowerGPU cheaper than OVHcloud for GPUs?** On the flavors OVHcloud lists for self-service, yes: the H100 (h100-380) is $2.99/hr and the A100 80 GB (a100-180) is $3.07/hr on OVHcloud Public Cloud (checked 2026-09-04); PowerGPU fixes both at the public market median × 0.70. OVHcloud's L40S ($1.69/hr) and L4 ($0.91/hr) are also priced above PowerGPU's on-demand rate for the same cards. **Does OVHcloud offer more GPU regions than Gravelines?** Not yet for the current H100/A100/L40S/L4 flavors — they remain concentrated in GRA11 as of the date checked. PowerGPU runs the same catalog across 32 regions today. **Is OVHcloud's free bandwidth better than PowerGPU's?** OVHcloud's unlimited outbound bandwidth in EU/North American datacenters is real and worth factoring in for very large, repeated transfers. PowerGPU charges a flat $0.01/GB in and out, which most GPU workloads — weights, checkpoints, generated media — do not run up significantly against. --- Try the switch for the price of a coffee Top up $40 in USDT or Monero, deploy the same image you run on OVHcloud, and benchmark it. No card, no KYC, per-second billing — stop it the minute you are done.
