|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
no free allowance; the on-demand list price is a live minimum and an L4 had no on-demand supply when read |
| Identity | email Signup needs an email address that is verified; renting needs credit on the account, added by card or by Solana. Whether the card route asks for a billing address, a phone number or an ID check is unverified: behind a sign-up. |
| Egress | Network egress and ingress policy is set by each on-demand provider individually and is not uniform across the marketplace. |
| Retention | a stopped pod keeps its environment and volume in managed storage at USD 0.02 per GiB per 30-day month until it is deleted |
| Interface | cli, ssh an aq CLI covers the console surface and aq ssh <name> writes an SSH alias; a REST API was not found on the pages read |
| Tooling | the aq CLI (aq ssh, aq stop, aq start, aq down) and a web console; a stopped pod can be restarted on a different card or provider |
| Composes with | One account and one balance across several GPU providers, billed per second, with a pod (environment plus volume) that survives a stop and can restart on another provider. The price is a live minimum across current supply, so it moves between page loads. |
| Reliability | preemptible offers run on hardware contributed by independent hosts, so they can be taken back; on-demand offers run in operator-managed facilities |
| Notes | A marketplace over several GPU hosts. On-demand list rates per GPU-hour read on the vendor's pages (live, refreshed every 6 hours): H100 80GB USD 2.78; A100 80GB USD 1.49; L40S 48GB USD 1.07; RTX 4090 24GB USD 0.760; L4 24GB USD 1.10 with no on-demand supply at the time (the cheapest offer overall). Including preemptible offers the per-model pages quote a lower floor: A100 USD 1.23, L40S USD 0.881, RTX 4090 USD 0.394. The pricing page lists 15 GPU models priced on-demand; a third-party index lists 38. |
