Provider Overview
Strengths & Best For
IO.NET is a decentralized GPU network aggregating idle compute from data centers, crypto miners, and consumer hardware — including H100 and A100 — at prices typically well below traditional on-demand GPU cloud providers. The marketplace model enables batch AI inference, LLM training, and distributed workloads at dramatically reduced cost for teams comfortable with variable hardware reliability. A compelling option for crypto-native teams and cost-sensitive developers who can tolerate the trade-offs of a decentralized GPU network.
- Very low prices on H100 and A100
- Large pool of available GPUs
- Decentralized resilience
- Crypto-native billing
Vast.ai is a peer-to-peer GPU marketplace listing 10,000+ GPUs — including H100, A100, and RTX 4090 — from hosts worldwide, consistently offering some of the lowest spot GPU rental prices available anywhere. Both on-demand and bid-based spot pricing are available, enabling researchers and developers to run LLM fine-tuning, image generation, and batch AI workloads at a fraction of traditional cloud costs. The largest and most price-competitive GPU marketplace for budget-conscious AI teams.
- Lowest spot prices
