Pros & Cons

Nebius

Advantages

Transparent published hourly GPU pricing across extensive NVIDIA lineup with commitment discounts available
Latest Blackwell GB300/GB200 and HGX B300/B200/H200/H100 options for cutting-edge AI training
Self-service console with preemptible pricing options for cost optimization
Vertical integration aimed at predictable pricing and performance with flexible payment methods

Considerations

Regional availability is not fully enumerated on public pages
Premium Blackwell GB300/GB200 models and large HGX capacity require sales engagement
Pricing for ancillary services (storage/network) is less visible than GPU rates

Sesterce

Advantages

Broad on-demand catalog running from Blackwell B300 and H200 down to previous-generation NVIDIA cards, plus Intel Gaudi 2
On-demand, spot, and reserved billing modes on the same clusters
VM and bare-metal deployment with single- and multi-GPU (up to 8x) configurations
European data residency across French sites, with hydro, nuclear, and solar energy under long-term PPAs

Considerations

Infrastructure concentrated in France, with no North American or Asia-Pacific regions
Rack-scale GB300 NVL72 and B200 capacity is contracted as reserved AI factory capacity rather than sold from the self-serve catalog
The newest and largest accelerators (B300, H200, Gaudi 2) are only sold as 8-GPU nodes, with no smaller self-serve size
