Features Comparison

Impossible Cloud

Bare Metal GPU Clusters
Dedicated NVIDIA systems without virtualization, from 2-GPU PCIe servers to 8-GPU SXM nodes and GB300 NVL72 racks, with InfiniBand or RoCE interconnect on larger clusters.
Published Term Pricing
Each listed cluster shows a per-GPU-hour rate for every available contract term, from one month to 60 months, along with region, node count and availability date.
Public Pricing Feed
The GPU offer list is published as an unauthenticated JSON feed, regenerated daily.
S3-Compatible Object Storage
Object storage compatible with the AWS S3 API, with no egress or API-call fees and no minimum storage duration.
Managed Inference
OpenAI-compatible inference endpoints for open-weight models (DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, GLM, gpt-oss, Nemotron), billed per million tokens; currently in early access.
Compliance
Headquartered in Germany with ISO 27001 certification and GDPR-aligned data handling in European data centers.

SwissGPU

Dedicated Resources
Every machine is fully dedicated to you, with direct access to GPU, CPU, memory, and storage. There is no virtualization layer and no shared GPU resources.
Isolated GPU Infrastructure
Run AI workloads on isolated GPU resources with secure SSH access.
Permanent Data Wipe
All data and the OS are permanently wiped after server rental ends.
Ultra-Low Latency
Offers ultra-low latency desktops that mimic local experience.
Fully Swiss Hosted
All servers, data, and operations are based in Switzerland.
Per-Minute Billing
Servers are billed per minute and billing stops when the machine is powered off, with no separate storage or network transfer charges.

Pros & Cons

Impossible Cloud

Advantages

Per-GPU-hour rates published for every listed cluster and contract term
GPU compute and S3 object storage from one provider, so data and compute can sit in the same region
Dedicated bare metal hardware without virtualization
German headquarters and European data residency options

Considerations

No on-demand hourly rate; all GPU capacity is sold on committed terms
Many listed clusters have a future availability date rather than immediate capacity
Some listings show region, configuration or node count only on request

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.

Pricing Options

Impossible Cloud

Committed GPU Terms

Per-GPU-hour rates for contract terms from one month to 60 months; longer terms carry lower rates.

Storage Pay-as-you-go

Object storage billed per TB per month with no egress or API-call fees.

Storage Reserved Capacity

Discounted per-TB storage pricing for 1, 3 and 5 year capacity commitments, sold through partners.

Per-Token Inference

Managed inference billed per million tokens, with rates provided on request during early access.

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.
