Pros & Cons

1Legion

Advantages

Reliable performance for demanding workloads.
Scalable resources to handle varying project sizes.
Dedicated hardware ensures consistent performance.

Considerations

Single server rentals require full machine commitment.
Minimum rental period is 12 months.
Limited availability is subject to specific regions.

SwissGPU

Advantages

Dedicated bare-metal GPU and compute resources for each client, with no virtualization layer.
Secure SSH access, with all data and the OS permanently wiped at the end of a rental.
Local-like experience with ultra-low latency remote desktops.
Published hourly rates for every GPU configuration, with per-minute billing and no storage or network fees.

Considerations

Consumer and workstation GPUs only — no datacenter accelerators such as H100 or B200 for large-scale training.
Single location: all capacity is in Switzerland, which adds latency for users outside Europe.
Electricity is metered and billed on top of the hourly rate, so the listed rate is not the full cost.
