Features Comparison

Aquanode

Multi-provider GPU marketplace
One live marketplace over the providers Aquanode supports, so the same GPU model can be compared across offers before deploying. Each offer is tagged on-demand or preemptible.
Pods
An Environment (image and installed software) and a Volume (code, checkpoints, data) that persist while the rented machine is released, and can restart on a different GPU, provider or country.
Per-second billing
The machine is billed by the second only while it runs, with no minimum term; a stopped pod rents no machine.
Auto-stop
Opt-in per pod: an idle GPU gets a warning, then its environment and volume are captured and the machine is released.
Jobs
Run a command on a GPU to completion, with automatic retry on a different machine if a provider takes the original one away.
Teams and workspaces
Shared deployments, volumes, API keys and a credit balance owned by the team, with owner, admin and member roles.

Deep Infra

Drop-in OpenAI Replacement
OpenAI-compatible API for 100+ models including DeepSeek, Qwen, Llama 4, Claude, and Gemini families with autoscaling
Dedicated GPU Rentals
B200 instances with SSH access spin up in about 10 seconds and bill hourly
Custom LLM Deployments
Deploy your own Hugging Face models onto dedicated A100, H100, H200, B200, or B300 GPUs
Transparent GPU Pricing
Published per-GPU hourly rates for A100, H100, H200, B200, and B300 with competitive pricing
Owned Inference Infrastructure
Runs on its own inference-optimized hardware in US-based data centers rather than rented capacity
Comprehensive AI APIs
Support for text generation, vision and OCR, embeddings and reranking, image, video and music generation, and speech recognition and synthesis

Pros & Cons

Aquanode

Advantages

Compares live offers for the same GPU model across several providers from one account and one balance
Billed per second with no minimum commitment, and a stopped pod does not rent a machine
Environment and volume persist across stops and can move to a different provider or region
Failover and automatic job retry on another machine if the chosen card is taken

Considerations

Capacity comes from third-party providers, so availability and network policy vary by offer
Marketplace rates are live minimums that can change between page loads
No spot bidding or committed-use reserved tier is offered

Deep Infra

Advantages

Simple OpenAI-compatible API alongside controllable GPU rentals
Competitive hourly rates for NVIDIA GPUs including B200 and B300
Fast provisioning with SSH access for dedicated instances (ready in ~10 seconds)
Supports custom deployments in addition to hosted public models

Considerations

Infrastructure is US-based only, with no published international regions
Primarily focused on inference and GPU rentals rather than broader cloud services
Newer player compared to established cloud providers

Compute Services

Aquanode

Deep Infra

Serverless Inference

Hosted model APIs with autoscaling on Deep Infra's own inference infrastructure.

Drop-in OpenAI replacement - swap base URL, keep existing code
100+ models including the DeepSeek V4, Qwen 3.7, Llama 4, Claude 5, Gemini 3.5, Gemma 4, GLM-5, Kimi K2.7, and Nemotron 3 families

Dedicated GPU Instances

On-demand GPU nodes with SSH access for custom workloads.

GPU Clusters

Multi-node B200 and B300 clusters with SSH access for training and full-control workloads.

Rent a B200 or B300 cluster and run arbitrary workloads
On-demand DGX B300 configurations billed per instance-hour

Pricing Options

Aquanode

On-demand

Per-second billing while an instance runs, with no contract or minimum term

Preemptible

Lower-cost capacity from independent hosts, shown beside on-demand offers in the GPU Availability Index

Storage for pods

Environments and volumes are billed separately for the time they are held

Deep Infra

Serverless pay-per-token

OpenAI-compatible inference APIs billed per input and output token, with no idle GPU time or minimums

Dedicated GPU hourly rates

Published transparent hourly pricing for A100, H100, H200, B200, and B300 GPUs with pay-as-you-go billing

Per-execution-time billing

Non-LLM models are billed for inference execution time rather than per token

Cached input pricing

Prompt-cached input tokens are billed at a lower rate than uncached input tokens

No long-term commitments

Flexible hourly billing for dedicated instances with no prepayments, contracts, or minimums required
