Transparent GPU Pricing
Published GPU instance pricing with monthly plans, longer-term commitment savings, and pay-as-you-go options with no hidden charges
Managed Kubernetes and GPU Clusters
Managed Kubernetes with GPU node groups, autoscaling clusters, NVIDIA GPU Operator support, managed control plane, custom node pools, observability, and built-in security
Cloud Compute
Cloud compute on AMD EPYC and Intel Xeon processors with NVMe storage, one-click deployments, autoscaling, backups, and scalable VM resources
Storage, Databases, and Networking
Cloud storage, S3-compatible object storage, block storage, managed databases, VPC networking, load balancers, floating IPs, firewall/security groups, DDoS protection, and private networking
Enterprise Security and Compliance
ISO-certified environments, data sovereignty, VPC isolation, multi-zone redundancy, and a 99.99% uptime SLA

Salad Cloud

Community Cloud
On-demand pool of idle consumer GPUs with nodes in 190+ countries, deployed onto through Salad Container Engine.
Salad Container Engine
Managed orchestration that schedules Docker containers onto nodes it does not control, isolates them behind a hypervisor, streams logs, and reallocates work when a node disappears.
Priority Tiers
High, Medium, Low, and Lowest tiers price the same GPU class differently so a workload can trade preemption risk for cost; High is never preempted by other workloads.
Salad Dedicated
Reserved bare metal and virtual machines on contract, starting with RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, quoted per allocation and term.
Private Cloud
Salad's orchestration stack licensed per deployment on hardware you already own, pooling idle workstation and server GPUs into a private OpenAI-compatible token service.
Managed APIs and Tooling
AI Gateway (an OpenAI-compatible endpoint for open-weight models, in closed beta), Transcription API, Recipes deployment templates, S4 temporary storage, Gateway Service residential IPs, and a Virtual Kubelet for Kubernetes.

Pros & Cons

AceCloud

Advantages

Broad NVIDIA GPU portfolio for AI, inference, HPC, rendering, and GenAI workloads
India-first GPU availability with INR billing
Transparent pricing with no hidden charges and pay-as-you-go or monthly options
Managed Kubernetes and GPU clusters with GPU Operator support and autoscaling

Considerations

Limited data center presence outside India and the USA
Newer player in the global cloud market
Primarily focused on the Indian market

Salad Cloud

Advantages

Aggregating idle consumer hardware gives some of the lowest published per-GPU-hour rates available
Per-second billing with no contracts or minimums; allocation, image download, and cold start are not billed
vCPU and RAM are included with every GPU class at no additional charge
Four priority tiers make interruptibility an explicit, priced choice per container group

Considerations

On-demand catalog is consumer RTX GPUs only — data center accelerators are not offered outside the contracted Dedicated product
Published GPU classes top out at 32 GB of VRAM, limiting the size of a model that fits on a single GPU
Nodes are individually owned machines that can disconnect at any time, so workloads must be stateless or retryable

Compute Services

Salad Cloud

Salad Container Engine on Community Cloud

On-demand container orchestration across the distributed pool of idle consumer GPUs, with more than 40 GPU classes selectable by priority tier.

Salad Dedicated

Reserved bare metal and virtual machines on contract, separate from the on-demand community pool.

CPU-only container groups

Container groups with no GPU attached, billed per vCPU-hour and per GB of RAM per hour, running at the Lowest priority tier.

Pricing Options

AceCloud

Pay-as-you-go

Hourly usage-based pricing for GPU and compute instances

Monthly Plans

Monthly pricing for GPU instances

Longer-term Commitments

Savings for longer-term commitments on GPU and compute resources

Spot Instances

Lower-cost capacity for flexible or fault-tolerant workloads

Salad Cloud

Per-second on-demand billing

Published per-GPU-hour rates billed by the second for the time each replica spends running; allocation, image download, and cold start are not charged, and vCPU and RAM are included.

Priority tiers

High, Medium, Low, and Lowest tiers price each GPU class differently - lower tiers cost less and are more interruptible, with Lowest intended for retryable batch work.

CPU-only container groups

Billed per vCPU-hour plus per GB of RAM per hour for container groups that need no GPU.

Volume discounts

Large deployments, long-running jobs, and committed spend are priced below list by sales.

Salad Dedicated contracts

Reserved bare metal and virtual machines quoted separately per allocation and term.

Private Cloud licensing

Licensed per deployment to run the orchestration stack on hardware you already own.

Getting Started

Get Started

1
Create an account
Sign up for an AceCloud account, optionally starting with free credits
2
Choose a service
Select a GPU, compute, Kubernetes, storage, database, or networking service
3
Configure the instance
Choose region, operating system/image, instance flavor, storage, network, and security settings
4
Launch
Launch the instance or cluster from the AceCloud console
5

Salad Cloud

Get Started

1
Create a SaladCloud account
Sign up at portal.salad.com to reach the dashboard, API keys, and deployment tools.
2
Pick a GPU class and priority tier
Compare published per-GPU-hour rates and live availability on the pricing page, then choose the tier that matches how interruptible the workload is.
3
Deploy a container group
Supply a Docker image, CPU/memory/GPU resources, and a replica count through the portal or the public API; Recipes provide ready-made templates for popular open models.
4
Monitor and scale
Track replicas in the portal and adjust GPU class, priority, or replica count; the container engine reallocates work as nodes join and leave the network.
5
Talk to sales for reserved or volume capacity
Large deployments, committed spend, and Salad Dedicated allocations are quoted directly rather than bought self-service.
