General-purpose cloud against GPU specialist, priced against each other on the 3 GPUs both of them rent. Published per-GPU on-demand rates as each provider last stated them, with what their own pages say about billing, commitment and egress beside the numbers.
GPU.ai is cheaper on 3 of the 3 cards both of them rent, by a median of 33%.
These are not the same product. A general-purpose cloud and a GPU specialist differ in who your counterparty is, which is why the rates below can be far apart without either being wrong. The prices are comparable; what stands behind them is not.
The 3 cards both of them rent, cheapest published per-GPU on-demand rate each. Dearest first.

Per GPU per hour, on-demand list prices as each provider last published them. Rates exclude tax and vary by region; a cheaper rate is not the same machine, the same network or the same support.
| AceCloud | GPU.ai | |
|---|---|---|
| Billing granularityOn short jobs this outweighs the rate: an hour minimum on a 90-second run costs more than a 30% dearer per-second rate. | Hourly and monthly, per resource | Per second |
| Minimum commitment | not stated | $5 minimum deposit, no term |
| Payment model | Pay-as-you-go on usage | Prepaid credit balance with burn rate and runway |
| Egress | First 100 GB per month free on object storage, then standard rates | not stated |
| Uptime SLA | 99.95% monthly uptime | not stated |
| Regions | Noida, Mumbai and Atlanta | 8 regions: US East/Central/West, Canada, EU West, EU East, India South, Asia-Pacific |
Neither site tells you whether your data trains their models, how fast support answers or whether a commitment auto-renews. We looked on both and record the absence rather than filling it in — if you need any of it, ask before you commit.
Nothing the other does not also rent.

No. AceCloud is a general-purpose cloud — a hosting company where GPUs sit beside the VPS products, on the same account and billing. GPU.ai is a GPU specialist — an operator whose whole business is renting these cards. The rates are comparable; what stands behind them is not.
