| Free tier | a one-time trial: eligible new accounts get $10 to try after a $1 card check and refund, up to 7 days, on any GPU size on one machine; files are kept for 24 hours after the trial ends. Paid use is prepaid credit added from $10, billed by the minute: machines from $1.40 an hour for an L4 (24 GB) and $2.64 for an L40S (48 GB), up to $7.41 for a 96 GB RTX PRO 6000 with 256 GB of RAM. The page lists no H100, A100 or RTX 4090. unit credits; metered on wall-clock; one-time |

| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
the trial credit is the binding number; workspace and machines pause after 15 minutes with no input, no GPU work, no traffic and no running process |
| Binding | volume-quota the $10 trial credit, 7-day window and one machine bound the free route; paid use is prepaid per minute with no stated cap |
| Identity | card the trial needs a $1 card check that is refunded: 'Eligible new accounts get $10 to try after a $1 card check and refund.' Paid credit is prepaid from $10; the payment methods for it, and any phone or ID check, are not stated on the page read. |
| Egress | traffic out is $0.10 per GB; disks are $0.15 per GB-month written and shared files $0.10 per GB-month |
| Per-object cap | not applicable: the unit is a machine-hour, not an object |
| Retention | files are kept for 24 hours after the trial ends; a paused machine keeps its disk as a snapshot, billed at $2.70 a month in the page's example, and deleting the machine ends that charge (1 days) |
| Interface | ssh the home page says to work over SSH, in VS Code or with an AI assistant, and an app catalog installs ComfyUI, PyTorch, JupyterLab, Ollama and vLLM in one click. No public API is documented on the page read. |
| Tooling | a cloud Linux workspace (a slice of an L4 at $0.24 an hour) plus attached whole-card machines of 24, 48 or 96 GB VRAM; SSH, VS Code, a desktop and Android app, and one-click ComfyUI, vLLM and Ollama installs. Machines pause themselves after 15 minutes idle. |
| Composes with | the trial is one machine for up to 7 days, so it fits a single short render or fine-tune run, not a standing service; the paused-machine disk is billed per month. |
| Reliability | unverified: no status page or incident history was read; the page lists limited regional availability (US and EU) as a drawback |
| Notes | the price grid also has 32, 64, 128 and 256 GB RAM columns: the L4 is $1.40 at 32 GB of RAM and $4.79 at 256 GB; the L40S is $2.64 at 32 GB and $6.38 at 256 GB. |
