| Free credits | not stated | None — no free trials |
| Egress | Free | FREE on managed storage |
| Uptime SLA | 99.5% per GPU VM, monthly | not stated |
Neither site tells you whether your data trains their models, whether a commitment auto-renews, how long you have to dispute a bill or how much warning you get before maintenance. We looked on both and record the absence rather than filling it in — if you need any of it, ask before you commit.
