Pros & Cons

Akamai Cloud

Advantages

Predictable flat-rate pricing model
Global region coverage inherited from the Akamai network
Blackwell-generation RTX PRO 6000 available alongside older RTX SKUs

Considerations

Catalog focused on RTX cards; H100/H200/B200 are not part of the public lineup
RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell and Quadro RTX 6000 plans are listed as limited deployment availability
A deposit may be required to deploy GPU Linodes on new or low-spend accounts

Scaleway

Advantages

GPU lineup spanning L4 through B300-SXM (Blackwell) in 1-8 GPU configurations
Two inference paths: serverless per-token Generative APIs and dedicated GPU deployments for the same model catalog
European headquarters with data residency across multiple multi-AZ EU regions
Free tier for trying Generative APIs, including a token allowance and audio transcription minutes

Considerations

On-demand hourly pricing only; no reserved or spot pricing published for GPU Instances
Some GPU types are limited to specific availability zones
Faster support response times require a paid support plan
