Features Comparison

Spheron

Multi-provider marketplace
Access GPU capacity from multiple cloud providers and certified data centers from one account, without separate signups per provider
Per-minute billing
Instances are billed by the minute rather than rounded up to the hour, past a 20-minute minimum runtime (60 minutes for a 2x AMD MI300X)
Fast provisioning
NVIDIA instances are typically ready in under two minutes with no approval workflow or provisioning queue
Unified billing and cost tracking
Compute spend across every connected provider is tracked in a single dashboard
Full root access instances
Each VM or bare metal instance includes NVMe SSD storage, network bandwidth and full root access, with a dedicated IP on NVIDIA instances
Supplier matchmaking
Spheron sources large clusters, specific hardware and InfiniBand configurations from its partner data center network, with a typical quote turnaround of 24-48 hours

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

Spheron

Advantages

One account and dashboard spans several GPU clouds, avoiding per-provider lock-in
Per-minute billing past a short minimum runtime, with no contract or long-term commitment
Wide NVIDIA range from RTX 4090 through B300 plus the AMD MI300X, with GB200, GB300 and R100 available to reserve
Spot instances run the same hardware at up to 50% off dedicated rates

Considerations

Capacity is supplied by third-party data centers, so hardware, regions and operational experience vary by partner
Spot instances are interruptible and can be reclaimed when demand returns
Large clusters, custom configurations and reserved capacity go through sales rather than self-service

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.

Compute Services

SwissGPU

Pricing Options

Spheron

On-Demand Dedicated Instances

Non-interruptible instances covered by an uptime SLA and billed per minute, with no contract or long-term commitment

Spot Instances

Idle capacity on the same hardware at up to 50% off dedicated rates, interruptible when the provider reclaims it

Reserved Commitments

Commit to a duration for locked capacity, volume pricing and dedicated support

Custom Clusters

Quoted deployments from 8 to 512+ GPUs with specific hardware and InfiniBand configurations sourced from partner data centers

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.
