These are not the same product. A GPU specialist and a general-purpose cloud 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.

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.
| Crusoe Cloud | Gcore | |
|---|---|---|
| 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 for instances; per cluster-hour for Kubernetes | Hourly (GPU); per minute (inference) |
| Minimum commitment | None on hourly instances | None on pay-as-you-go; subscription terms billed in full |
| Payment model | Fees per the Admin Console or a separate agreement | Postpaid invoice by default; prepaid credits for some products; subscriptions |
| Free credits | not stated | Free trial periods offered; startup program |
| Egress | Free | Free |
| Uptime SLA | 99.5% per GPU VM, monthly | not stated |
| Regions | not stated | 50+ cloud locations; 33 named on the cloud price list |
Neither site tells you whether your data trains their models, whether a commitment auto-renews or how long you have to dispute a bill. We looked on both and record the absence rather than filling it in — if you need any of it, ask before you commit.
