Compare GPU clouds / Shadeform
Shadeform
GPU aggregator across about 18 clouds at the clouds’ own prices
Marketplace
Shadeform lets you find and launch GPU instances from about 18 clouds, including Crusoe, Lambda, Nebius, Hyperstack, DigitalOcean and Verda, through one console, API, CLI or MCP server. It states that you pay the same as going direct to each cloud. On 2026-11-09 the lowest available H100 offer in its public feed was $2.50 per GPU-hour (PCIe, via Hyperstack).
Best for: Comparing and launching single instances across many clouds from one account.

Worth knowing before you sign
- Only 65 of 304 listed instance types showed availability on 2026-11-09; lower listed prices (H100 SXM $1.95, H200 $3.00, B200 $3.74 per GPU-hour) had no capacity, so they are not shown here.
- Quality, interconnect and support depend on the underlying provider.
- SemiAnalysis (ClusterMAX 3.0) says it focuses on brokering individual GPU VMs and will stay in the lowest tier without more ambition.
- No certification report type is stated (a SOC badge appears without detail).
