Civo vs Spheron

K3s-based managed clusters that typically launch in under 90 seconds

NVIDIA B200, H200 SXM, H100 SXM, L40S 48GB, and A100 40/80GB options for AI training and inference, launchable on both Compute and Kubernetes

Transparent hourly rates with no Kubernetes control-plane fees and free unlimited ingress and egress data transfer

CLI, API, Terraform provider, and Helm-ready clusters out of the box

Access GPU capacity from multiple cloud providers and certified data centers from one account, without separate signups per provider

Instances are billed by the minute rather than rounded up to the hour, past a 20-minute minimum runtime (60 minutes for a 2x AMD MI300X)

NVIDIA instances are typically ready in under two minutes with no approval workflow or provisioning queue

Compute spend across every connected provider is tracked in a single dashboard

Each VM or bare metal instance includes NVMe SSD storage, network bandwidth and full root access, with a dedicated IP on NVIDIA instances

Spheron sources large clusters, specific hardware and InfiniBand configurations from its partner data center network, with a typical quote turnaround of 24-48 hours
