CloudGPU features
- Per-minute GPU billing. Rent GPUs like RTX 5090, RTX 4090, A100 and pay only for the minutes used, with unused minutes returned to your balance.
- OpenAI-compatible API gateway. Access models such as DeepSeek, Claude, Flux and others via a standard OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
- One-click model deployment. Select a template, click Deploy, and get an HTTP endpoint in about 2 minutes, no CUDA setup required.
- Raw GPU access. SSH into the rented GPU for full control, install any software, and destroy the instance anytime.
- Multiple payment methods. Top up via card, Alipay, Google/Apple Pay, USDT (TRC-20) or bank transfer; credits never expire.
- Transparent pricing. Hourly rates listed for each GPU model and per-token rates for model APIs, with no hidden or egress fees.
Replicate features
- One-line model inference. Run any public model with a single line of code in Node, Python or HTTP.
- Fine-tune with your data. Improve existing models by training on your own datasets via the Replicate API.
- Deploy custom models. Package models with Cog to create private, scalable API endpoints.
- Pay-as-you-go pricing. Only pay for compute time or per-output token/image; no upfront fees.
- Hardware selection. Choose CPU or GPU instances (A100, H100, L40S, T4) and scale automatically.
