- free tier: Chinese GPU cloud (JuChiYun) publishing per-hour rates per zone with visible card availability: RTX 5090 32GB CNY 2.99/hr on 16 cores, 60 GB RAM and 300 GB SSD; RTX A6000 48GB CNY 2.85/hr on 12 cores, 86 GB RAM and 350 GB SSD; A100 40GB CNY 2.80/hr; RTX 4090 24GB CNY 2.20/hr; A30 24GB CNY 2.19/hr. At USD 1 = CNY 6.6743 that is USD 0.448, USD 0.427, USD 0.420, USD 0.330 and USD 0.328 per GPU-hour. Each row states the zone and how many cards that zone has free, for example a zone labelled as having at most two cards available. | unit: hours | metered on: wall-clock | read on: 2026-10-22 | source: [1] | note: signup-credit
- per-object cap: not applicable | source: [1]
- retention: not applicable | source: [1]
- egress: not stated | metered: no | source: [1]
- identity: country-phone | detail: Registration is documented as a mobile number plus an SMS code: the register page shows the steps translated as 'verify mobile number', then the mobile number field and the SMS code field. | country: CN
- interface: unknown
- limits:
  - write-gated (binding): The SMS registration step fails first: no account exists without a Chinese mobile number, and the new-user credit is only claimable after that step. [1]
- limits note: The SMS registration step fails first: no account exists without a Chinese mobile number, and the new-user credit is only claimable after that step.
- binding note: the same as limits note
- interface detail: inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
- tooling: not stated
- composes with: The trial credit is unquantified, so it composes with nothing until an account exists; the A100 40GB row at USD 0.42/hr is the cheapest 40 GB A100 hour seen, below Jarvislabs at USD 0.89.
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: Rates sit above AutoDL and Featurize for the same cards, so this is a supply-and-zone story rather than a price story: the zone labels and per-zone card counts are the part that other Chinese retailers do not publish. The size of the new-user credit is not stated on the page and was not established; it would need an account. Conversion uses the same 2026-10-22 rate as the other Chinese records in this batch.
