Pros & Cons

Gcore

Advantages

Wide global edge presence beyond typical neocloud regions
Access to Blackwell Ultra B300 and GB300 NVL72 systems
Combined CDN, networking and GPU stack from a single provider
Virtual GPU shelving preserves IPs and volumes at zero compute cost between runs

Considerations

Catalog spans many products beyond GPU compute, which can complicate pricing
GPU SKU availability varies meaningfully by region
Less GPU-specialized than dedicated training neoclouds

SwissGPU

Advantages

Dedicated bare-metal GPU and compute resources for each client, with no virtualization layer.
Secure SSH access, with all data and the OS permanently wiped at the end of a rental.
Local-like experience with ultra-low latency remote desktops.
Published hourly rates for every GPU configuration, with per-minute billing and no storage or network fees.

Considerations

Consumer and workstation GPUs only — no datacenter accelerators such as H100 or B200 for large-scale training.
Single location: all capacity is in Switzerland, which adds latency for users outside Europe.
Electricity is metered and billed on top of the hourly rate, so the listed rate is not the full cost.

Compute Services

Gcore

GPU Cloud

Bare-metal GPU clusters and virtual GPU machines provisioned through the console or API

Everywhere Inference

Managed endpoints for running models across Gcore's global footprint

SwissGPU

Pricing Options

Gcore

Virtual GPU

Hourly billing for self-serve GPU virtual machines, charged only while the instance is powered on

Bare-Metal GPU Clusters

Dedicated 8-GPU servers and multi-node clusters, priced per configuration with hourly, monthly and yearly estimates in the GPU Cloud calculator

Everywhere Inference

Billing determined by the exact compute time used, measured down to the minute

Quote-Based Capacity

B300 and GB300 NVL72 systems, plus third-party cloud and on-premises deployments, are quoted by the sales team

SwissGPU

Per-minute on-demand billing

Dedicated physical servers billed per minute, with billing stopping when the server is powered off and no additional storage or network charges.

Prepaid credits

Credits are topped up on the platform at any time, with payments processed by Stripe.

Metered electricity

Power consumption is billed separately per kWh on top of the hourly server rate, and a small fee applies when reinstalling the operating system.

Custom configurations and long-term commitments

Negotiated directly with the provider rather than published as self-service rates.
