Features Comparison

Koyeb

Serverless GPU Instances
Per-second billing with scale-to-zero across the GPU catalog
Wide GPU Range
From RTX-4000-SFF-ADA and L4 through L40S, A100, H100, H200 and B200
Global Edge Deployment
Deploy applications close to users across multiple regions from a single push
Serverless Postgres
Managed Postgres billed by the second with scale-to-zero on inactivity
Sandboxes
Isolated environments for executing code and running AI agents on the same platform as inference workloads

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

Koyeb

Advantages

Per-second billing across the full GPU range
Multi-GPU configurations (2x, 4x, 8x) available on-demand
Serverless model removes idle-instance costs

Considerations

Smaller per-cluster scale than dedicated training neoclouds
Some GPU SKUs require requesting access
Long-running fixed-instance training is not the primary use case

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

Koyeb

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

Koyeb

Per-Second GPU Billing

Charged per second of GPU runtime, with scale-to-zero when idle

Multi-GPU Configurations

Pre-configured 2x, 4x and 8x GPU instances for larger workloads

Saving Plans

Long-term reservations at up to 50% off the on-demand price

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

Koyeb

Get Started

1
Create an account
Sign up via the Koyeb console using email or GitHub
2
Pick a GPU instance
Select an instance type from the GPU catalog and configure your service
3
Deploy from Git or container
Push from a GitHub repo or Docker image and Koyeb handles the rest

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.

Support & Global Availability

Koyeb

Global Regions

7 regions across the US, EU and Asia on self-serve plans; AWS regions on Scale; Enterprise adds private dedicated locations, BYOC and custom regions

Support

Email and chat support on Pro; Slack cross-connect and 99.9% uptime SLA on Scale; 24×7×365 premium support and 99.99% uptime SLA on Enterprise; documentation and community forum

Salad Cloud

Global Regions
