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.
| Scaleway | Verda | |
|---|---|---|
| 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 hour, pay as you go | 10-minute prepaid increments |
| Minimum commitment | None | None; prepaid balance |
| Payment model | Pay as you go — you pay for what you use | Prepaid balance (one-time or auto top-up); long-term paid up-front |
| Free credits | not stated | Credit coupons at promotions and hackathons |
| Uptime SLA | 99.5% monthly availability for GPU Instances | No SLA; availability not warranted |
| Regions | Paris (France), Amsterdam (Netherlands), Warsaw (Poland) | FIN-01, FIN-02, FIN-03 — Helsinki, Finland |
Neither site tells you what egress costs, 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.
