Features Comparison

Denvr Dataworks

Multi-Accelerator Catalog
NVIDIA Blackwell, Hopper and Ampere GPUs alongside Intel Gaudi 2 accelerators
Per-Minute Billing
Granular billing for on-demand workloads in addition to reserved contracts
Bare-Metal and Cloud GPUs
Provision managed applications, virtual machines in 1x to 8x GPU configurations, or direct bare-metal hosts
High-Performance Infrastructure
Up to 1,024 GPU clusters connected by 3,200 Gbps non-blocking InfiniBand with tenant-isolated VPC networking
AI Inference Platform
Deploy foundation or custom models on dedicated GPU endpoints with OpenAI API compatibility
Managed Storage
Fully managed NVMe shared storage and petabyte-scale shared filesystems for AI workloads and large datasets

Salad Cloud

Community Cloud
On-demand pool of idle consumer GPUs with nodes in 190+ countries, deployed onto through Salad Container Engine.
Salad Container Engine
Managed orchestration that schedules Docker containers onto nodes it does not control, isolates them behind a hypervisor, streams logs, and reallocates work when a node disappears.
Priority Tiers
High, Medium, Low, and Lowest tiers price the same GPU class differently so a workload can trade preemption risk for cost; High is never preempted by other workloads.
Salad Dedicated
Reserved bare metal and virtual machines on contract, starting with RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, quoted per allocation and term.
Private Cloud
Salad's orchestration stack licensed per deployment on hardware you already own, pooling idle workstation and server GPUs into a private OpenAI-compatible token service.
Managed APIs and Tooling
AI Gateway (an OpenAI-compatible endpoint for open-weight models, in closed beta), Transcription API, Recipes deployment templates, S4 temporary storage, Gateway Service residential IPs, and a Virtual Kubelet for Kubernetes.

Pros & Cons

Denvr Dataworks

Advantages

Rare publicly priced Intel Gaudi 2 capacity
Per-minute billing on on-demand instances
Coverage of Ampere, Hopper and Blackwell generations
Sovereign Canadian infrastructure for data residency

Considerations

H200 SXM available primarily as a reservation
Smaller geographic footprint than the hyperscalers
Lower-end consumer GPUs are not part of the catalog

Salad Cloud

Advantages

Aggregating idle consumer hardware gives some of the lowest published per-GPU-hour rates available
Per-second billing with no contracts or minimums; allocation, image download, and cold start are not billed
vCPU and RAM are included with every GPU class at no additional charge
Four priority tiers make interruptibility an explicit, priced choice per container group

Considerations

On-demand catalog is consumer RTX GPUs only — data center accelerators are not offered outside the contracted Dedicated product
Published GPU classes top out at 32 GB of VRAM, limiting the size of a model that fits on a single GPU
Nodes are individually owned machines that can disconnect at any time, so workloads must be stateless or retryable

Compute Services

Denvr Dataworks

AI Compute

On-demand or reserved GPU compute across bare metal, virtual machines, and containers

AI Inference

Fully managed model endpoints on dedicated GPU capacity

Salad Cloud

Salad Container Engine on Community Cloud

On-demand container orchestration across the distributed pool of idle consumer GPUs, with more than 40 GPU classes selectable by priority tier.

Salad Dedicated

Reserved bare metal and virtual machines on contract, separate from the on-demand community pool.

CPU-only container groups

Container groups with no GPU attached, billed per vCPU-hour and per GB of RAM per hour, running at the Lowest priority tier.

Pricing Options

Denvr Dataworks

On-Demand

Per-minute billing for self-serve GPU instances

Reserved Contracts

Discounted longer-term commitments on dedicated clusters

Salad Cloud

Per-second on-demand billing

Published per-GPU-hour rates billed by the second for the time each replica spends running; allocation, image download, and cold start are not charged, and vCPU and RAM are included.

Priority tiers

High, Medium, Low, and Lowest tiers price each GPU class differently - lower tiers cost less and are more interruptible, with Lowest intended for retryable batch work.

CPU-only container groups

Billed per vCPU-hour plus per GB of RAM per hour for container groups that need no GPU.

Volume discounts

Large deployments, long-running jobs, and committed spend are priced below list by sales.

Salad Dedicated contracts

Reserved bare metal and virtual machines quoted separately per allocation and term.

Private Cloud licensing

Licensed per deployment to run the orchestration stack on hardware you already own.

Getting Started

Denvr Dataworks

Get Started

1
Create an account
Sign up at the Denvr Cloud console
2
Select a GPU and region
Choose from on-demand instances, reserved clusters or bare-metal nodes
3
Launch and connect
Provision via console or API and connect over SSH or supported orchestrators

Salad Cloud

Get Started

1
Create a SaladCloud account
Sign up at portal.salad.com to reach the dashboard, API keys, and deployment tools.
2
Pick a GPU class and priority tier
Compare published per-GPU-hour rates and live availability on the pricing page, then choose the tier that matches how interruptible the workload is.
3
Deploy a container group
Supply a Docker image, CPU/memory/GPU resources, and a replica count through the portal or the public API; Recipes provide ready-made templates for popular open models.
4
Monitor and scale
Track replicas in the portal and adjust GPU class, priority, or replica count; the container engine reallocates work as nodes join and leave the network.
5
Talk to sales for reserved or volume capacity
Large deployments, committed spend, and Salad Dedicated allocations are quoted directly rather than bought self-service.
