Pros & Cons

Paperspace

Advantages

User-friendly interface and easy to get started
Wide range of NVIDIA GPU options
Free GPU and CPU plans for notebooks
Pay-per-second billing model

Considerations

Limited data center regions (US and Europe)
Some user reports of inconsistent customer support
Availability of high-end multi-GPU instances can be limited

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
