>log in to commentHi DevHunt! Maker of CloudGPU here. GPU rental by the minute plus an OpenAI-compatible AI API, on one prepaid balance. If you try it, tell me what confused you, that's what I'll fix first.
CloudGPU provides per-minute GPU rentals and an OpenAI-compatible model API, all billed from a single prepaid balance.
- for
- AI developers and teams needing on-demand GPU compute or model inference without long-term contracts.
- pricing
- freemium
Key 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.
Use cases
- Fine-tune LLMs on RTX 4090 or A100 with minute-level cost control
- Run inference for image generation models like Flux via a simple API endpoint
- Develop AI agents that need occasional GPU bursts without maintaining hardware

- CloudGPU vs luoluoAI: One endpoint for many models at low price, but no per-minute GPU compute
- CloudGPU vs Vergora: Aggregates many LLMs under one key, without GPU rental or per-minute billing
CloudGPU FAQ
How is GPU time billed?+
GPU usage is billed per minute, rounded up with a 1-minute minimum; unused minutes are returned to your balance when the instance is destroyed.
How do I use the model API?+
Set the base URL to https://cloudgpu.app/v1 and provide your API key in any OpenAI-compatible SDK or client.
What payment methods are accepted?+
You can top up with Visa/Mastercard, Alipay, Google Pay, Apple Pay, USDT (TRC-20) or bank transfer for larger amounts.
Is there any commitment or minimum spend?+
No subscription, no minimum term; you pay only for the minutes used and tokens consumed.
What happens to data on a destroyed instance?+
All data on the instance is deleted; there is no persistent storage, so copy results before destroying.
Do credits expire?+
No, prepaid credits never expire and can be used for any GPU model or model API.
