Pros & Cons

Baseten

Advantages

Per-minute billing on dedicated GPUs
Per-token Model APIs and dedicated deployments from one account
SOC 2 Type II certified and HIPAA compliant
Multi-GPU instance sizes published with vCPU and memory

Considerations

Dedicated GPU rates are higher than raw GPU rental because they include the serving platform
Model API catalog is a curated set of models
Volume discounts and custom regions require a sales conversation

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
