Features Comparison

Beam

Pay-per-millisecond Billing
Only charged when your code runs, no charges for cold starts or server spin-up
Sub-second Cold Starts
Memory snapshots and GPU checkpoint restore bring containers back in seconds, which Beam reports as up to 35x faster than a traditional cold boot
Secure Sandbox Environments
Run untrusted code safely in isolated environments for AI agents and code interpreters
Stateful, Persistent Runtimes
Pause and resume sessions while maintaining filesystem, memory, and running processes
Elastic GPU Scaling
Scale to zero when idle, burst to thousands of containers in seconds
Custom Docker Images
Bring your own Docker images for full environment control, including running the Docker daemon inside containers

Oblivus

Single-GPU Pricing
Per-GPU rates published for each instance type, with multi-GPU pricing scaling linearly
Multiple H100 Variants
H100 SXM5, NVLink and PCIe SKUs published separately for tradeoffs in interconnect
Reservation Discounts
Reserved rates are published beside the on-demand rate for each GPU type
OblivusAI Images
Ubuntu 22.04-based image preloaded with common machine learning and AI tools and libraries
Compliance Certifications
Multi-tenant data centers are ISO 27001, Type 2 SOC 1, Type 2 SOC 2 and HIPAA compliant
No-Cost Data Transfer
200Gbps+ public internet connectivity and 400Gbps+ dark fiber between data centers, with data transfers not charged

Pros & Cons

Beam

Advantages

Pay-per-millisecond billing with no charges for cold starts
Ultrafast boot times with sub-second cold starts via memory snapshots
GPU selection spanning RTX 4090 through B200, plus InfiniBand cluster nodes
On-demand machines priced flat per machine, including vCPU, RAM, and NVMe storage

Considerations

Serverless GPUs other than the RTX 4090 require a committed-spend agreement
GPU container concurrency is capped on the lower plan tiers
Multi-node InfiniBand clusters are sales-only with no published pricing

Oblivus

Advantages

Transparent per-GPU on-demand pricing across the catalog
Multiple H100 SKU options (SXM5, NVLink, PCIe)
RTX-class GPUs available for cost-sensitive workloads
ISO 27001, Type 2 SOC 1, Type 2 SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance at both multi-tenant sites

Considerations

Smaller global footprint than hyperscalers
Multi-tenant capacity is limited to two locations (Montreal and Oslo)
Less established brand than the largest neoclouds
