Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Vast.ai Marketplace and RunPod Community Cloud?

Vast.ai Marketplace is individual hosts renting out their own machines. RunPod Community Cloud is RunPod's cheaper tier, still on hardware RunPod manages. Marketplace is usually the lowest price, but reliability depends on the host, so we only count verified hosts with a reliability score of 95% or higher. Community Cloud costs a little more and behaves more like a normal cloud.

Where do the prices on this page come from?

Vast.ai prices are the median of the five cheapest offers from verified hosts with a reliability score of 95% or higher. RunPod prices are the lowest Community Cloud rate. Both refresh every hour. A median beats the single cheapest listing because rock-bottom offers often vanish within minutes. If a provider is unreachable, we keep its last known prices for up to 24 hours rather than dropping the GPU.

Why is the price on RunPod's site higher than the one shown here?

RunPod's console opens on Secure Cloud, its pricier tier; the price here is for Community Cloud. Switch to Community Cloud on RunPod's deploy page and the number should match, give or take an hourly refresh. On Vast.ai the listing you land on can also differ, since individual hosts change prices and go offline through the day.

Is it cheaper to rent a GPU or buy one?

Renting is cheaper below a few hundred hours of use. Buying wins once your total hours pass the card's price divided by the hourly rate; for a consumer card that is usually over a year of 8-hour days. Rent for short jobs, for an H100 you can't buy anyway, or to try a 70B model on a 48 GB card before buying one. Each GPU page shows its own breakeven.

Do you earn a commission on the Deploy links?

Yes. Deploy buttons are partner links, and we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The commission does not affect the order: rows are sorted by price, and the cheapest provider for each GPU is always listed first, whether or not it pays us more.
