Features Comparison

Heabsy

OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible API
Base URL https://api.heabsy.com/v1. Streaming, tool calling and structured output work as with the original SDKs; vision on supported models.
EEA tier with zero data retention
Models marked EEA only run on GPUs Heabsy operates inside the European Economic Area. Prompts and completions are processed in memory and never written to logs.
Routed catalog of open models
More than 25 open models from DeepSeek, Moonshot, Z.ai, OpenAI, Meta, Google, Qwen, NVIDIA and others, bought from global providers under a European contract and billed by Heabsy.
Long context and prefix caching
Up to 1M tokens of context on several models and 262K on Qwen3.8 27B; cached input is billed at a lower rate.
Per-model processing labels
The catalog at heabsy.com/models shows for each model whether it is processed only in the EEA or may leave it.

Runpod

Secure Cloud GPUs
Access to a wide range of GPU types with enterprise-grade security
Pay-as-you-go
Only pay for the compute time you actually use
API Access
Programmatically manage your GPU instances via REST API
Fast cold-starts
Pods typically ready in 20-30 s
Hot-reload dev loop
SSH & VS Code tunnels built-in
Spot-to-on-demand fallback
Automatic migration on pre-empt

Pros & Cons

Heabsy

Advantages

OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible API: existing SDKs, Claude Code and Cursor switch by changing the base URL
EEA tier runs on Heabsy's own GPUs inside the EEA with zero data retention; prompts are never logged
EU company (Slovakia) with no US parent; DPA and sub-processor list published
Every model is labelled with where it is processed: EEA only or outside the EEA

Considerations

Most of the catalog is routed through third-party providers and may be processed outside the EEA; only a few models run on Heabsy's own hardware
Accounts are opened on request; there is no free tier
No embeddings endpoint and no GPU rental

Runpod

Advantages

Competitive pricing with pay-per-second billing
Wide variety of GPU options
Simple and intuitive interface

Considerations

GPU availability can vary by region
Some features require technical knowledge

Compute Services

Heabsy

Runpod

Pods

On‑demand single‑node GPU instances in Secure Cloud (data‑center hosted) or lower‑cost Community Cloud, with flexible templates and storage.

Serverless

Pay‑per‑second endpoints with automatic scaling for production AI/ML applications.

Instant Clusters

Fully managed multi‑node GPU clusters with high‑speed networking between nodes.

Pricing Options

Heabsy

Pay per token

Per 1M tokens for input, cached input and output, listed per model at heabsy.com/models. No minimum spend, no subscription.

Dedicated deployments

Open models can be brought onto Heabsy's own EEA hardware when the workload justifies a dedicated fleet; priced on request.

Runpod

Secure Cloud

Pods hosted in vetted data centers; higher reliability tier

Community Cloud

Pods on vetted community hosts at lower rates than Secure Cloud

Spot

Interruptible capacity at reduced prices

Serverless

Pay-per-second billing for endpoint execution time, with automatic scaling and no charge when idle

Clusters

Per-hour or per-second billing for multi-node GPU clusters with no commitment, scaling up to 64 GPUs

Reserved Clusters

Discounted rates for 1, 3, 6, or 12+ month commitments on dedicated clusters with guaranteed availability and SLA-backed uptime; quoted by sales

Public Endpoints

Usage-based billing for pre-deployed model APIs, charged per request, per token, or per 1000 characters depending on the model
