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.

Zettabyte

On-Demand Instances
Launch GPU instances quickly and scale to hundreds on-demand.
Reserved Clusters
Designed for large-scale training with predictable capacity.
Private Cloud Solutions
Custom clusters tailored for specific security and procurement needs.
Best-Price Allocation
Utilizes a bid/ask system to ensure optimal pricing on GPU resources.
Reliability Framework
Ensures 99.9% uptime SLA with transparent incident reporting.

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

Zettabyte

Advantages

Flexible scaling options for various workloads
Diverse service offerings to match different needs
Built-in security protocols for data protection

Considerations

Limited information on specific geographic availability
No explicit details on customer support options
Dependency on third-party hardware providers
