Microsoft Azure alternatives

Ranked by how many of the same GPUs they rent on demand, the closest alternatives to Microsoft Azure are Fluence Cloud (7 shared GPUs), Runpod (7 shared GPUs) and Vast.ai (7 shared GPUs). Microsoft Azure lists 8 GPUs on demand, and 64 other providers rent at least one of them.

63 of the 64 providers renting the same GPUs list at least one of them for less on demand. The largest gap today is the H100 SXM on Latitude.sh, at $1.68 per GPU-hour against $11.06 on Microsoft Azure.

10 providers serve at least one of the 27 models Microsoft Azure prices per token. The most overlap is at OpenRouter (24 models), Prime Intellect (19 models) and DigitalOcean (17 models).

4 providers charge less per input token than Microsoft Azure on at least one shared model, and 4 providers charge less per output token. The two are counted separately because the cheapest host for input tokens is often not the cheapest for output.

An alternative is any provider that currently prices at least one of the same GPUs on demand or the same models at standard per-token rates. They are ordered by how many they share, using the current prices we track for every provider. Sponsorship and paid placement have no effect on the order.
