How we rank vendors
There is no single best GPU cloud. The cheapest H100 by the hour is the wrong call for a team that needs 1,000 B200s on one InfiniBand fabric for six months. So we don't publish star ratings. We publish picks for specific needs, and we explain each one.
What we look at
- Published prices. On-demand price per GPU-hour for each model, copied from the provider's own pricing page with the date we saw it.
- Hardware. Which GPUs you can actually rent (H100, H200, B200, GB200, MI300X and others), node sizes and interconnect.
- Terms. On-demand vs reserved, minimum commitments, regions, orchestration (Kubernetes, Slurm) and support.
- Reliability signals. Third-party ratings such as SemiAnalysis ClusterMAX, certifications and public incidents.
- Scale and backing. Funding, public listing, capacity announcements and how long the company has operated.
- Fit. Who the provider is built for: self-serve developers, startups training models, or enterprises reserving large clusters.
Where our facts come from
Every fact on a provider page links to a source: the provider's own site and pricing page, filings, third-party reports or reputable press. Prices are on-demand list prices on the date shown; reserved and negotiated prices are usually lower and are not published. When something isn't public, we say "not disclosed".
How often we check
GPU prices change often. We recheck published prices at least monthly and provider details at least once a quarter. Each page shows when it was last reviewed.
Corrections
Vendors and readers can send corrections with a source to editors@bestneoclouds.com. We fix verified errors within five business days, whether or not the vendor advertises.
Money
Vendors can buy clearly labeled sponsored listings. That never changes our picks or the order of our tables. The details are in our advertising disclosure.
