These are not the same product. A general-purpose cloud and a peer marketplace 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.

| Payment model | Pay-as-you-go on usage | Prepaid credits; optional auto top-up |

| Uptime SLA | 99.95% monthly uptime | not stated |
| Regions | Noida, Mumbai and Atlanta | 40+ data centres worldwide |
Neither site tells you whether your data trains their models 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.
