Simple decision

Pod or serverless?

For most people, this is the first decision that matters.

▣

GPU Pod / VM

A GPU machine stays allocated to you while it is running.

  • Best for steady or continuous work
  • Predictable environment
  • You pay while the machine is running
  • Concurrent jobs usually need your own queue/workers
Choose this when your GPU is busy often.
⚡

Serverless GPU

Workers spin up for jobs and scale with demand.

  • Best for bursts and unpredictable traffic
  • Multiple requests can scale across workers
  • You mainly pay for execution time
  • Cold starts can matter
Choose this when requests arrive in bursts.
Quick calculator

What does one generation actually cost?

Hourly rates are hard to compare. Convert them into an approximate cost per image, video or inference job.

Cost per job = hourly GPU price × job seconds ÷ 3,600
Approx. cost / job$0.049
Approx. monthly compute$48.63
Compute only. Storage, idle time, cold starts, data transfer and provider-specific charges may change the total.
