RunPod on-demand prices from runpod.io/pricing, checked 2026-09-25, multiplied by 720 hours. GPU Rent Hub prices are the published monthly rates.

**Where GPU Rent Hub wins:** every GPU against RunPod Secure Cloud, and H100 SXM, H200, B200 and L40S even against Community Cloud. For short bursts of a few hours, per-second billing is the better tool; for anything that runs most of the month, a fixed monthly server costs less.

## Why switch from RunPod for long jobs

**Dedicated bare metal.** The whole GPU server is yours for the term — no neighbours, no pre-emption, no host that disappears mid-run.

**A price that cannot move.** The term is paid up front and the price is locked until it ends. No surprise from a busy week.

**Crypto-native, no KYC.** One order, one crypto payment — no card, no prepaid balance, no identity documents. The account is a username and a password.

**Serious networking included.** 100 Gbps port (10 Gbps guaranteed), public IPv4 + IPv6 /64, 20 TB outbound, unmetered inbound.

**Ready images.** Ubuntu 24.04 with CUDA 12.8, PyTorch 2.7, vLLM 0.9, ComfyUI, Ollama, JAX, ROCm, or your own OCI image.
