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.
| Massed Compute | RunPod Secure Cloud | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | Per minute | Per second |
| Minimum commitment | None; prepaid balance with $5 minimum threshold | None |
| Payment model | Prepaid balance with automatic recharge | Prepaid credits; post-paid invoice for Enterprise |
| Free credits | Referral credit 3% of referred spend; coupon codes | $1,000 startup credits (application); referral rewards |
| Egress | Free | Free |
| Uptime SLA | 99.999% claimed on product page; no SLA document found | 99.99% SLA on Enterprise agreements; none on Community Cloud |
| Regions | US regions (e.g. us-central-3); locations not named | 31 regions across the US, Europe, Asia and Australia |
Neither site tells you whether you get credits when it breaks, how fast support answers, 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.
