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.

Hinode

Persistent state + auto-pause
Workstation hibernates after 15 minutes of inactivity and wakes with everything intact.
Boost
One click allows the user to swap in a bigger GPU for a single training run.
Hybrid billing
Offers both monthly subscription and hourly pay-as-you-go options.
H.265 60fps streaming
Supports streaming in 1080p60 for all tiers.
Browser or native app
Accessible via web browser or native applications for Mac and Windows.

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

Hinode

Advantages

Dedicated GPU access for individual users
Environment persists between sessions
Auto-pause functionality to save costs

Considerations

Limited regional availability
Dependent on browser compatibility for certain features
