Representative on-demand figures for comparable GPU classes. Up to 70% cheaper compares Kracht reserved H100 ($2.10/GPU-hr) to hyperscaler on-demand (AWS p5, $12.29/GPU-hr), Jun 2026.

Same silicon, same speed

You don't trade performance for price

An H100 is an H100. Identical hardware means identical training speed; only the bill changes.

The economics

It's not magic. It's the market.

The same H100 costs a fraction here for three structural reasons the hyperscalers cannot easily copy.

supply unlocked

Idle supply, not new datacenters

We put GPUs that already exist and sit unused to work, without a giant buildout folded into your hourly rate.

market price

No hyperscaler margin

You pay the market clearing price, not a markup funding managed services your workload never touches.

metered/sec

You pay for compute, nothing else

Per-second metering, zero egress fees, and no minimums keep the bill tied to actual runtime.

Per-provider

The same H100, for less

Competitor on-demand H100 80GB pricing, versus Kracht at $2.10/hr reserved. Our sample on-demand rate is $2.89/hr.

No spin

Where the others actually win

We would rather you pick the right tool than oversell ours. Here is where we honestly would not be our own first choice.

Hyperscalers / AWS, GCP, Azure

A managed everything-suite

If you want GPUs beside 200 first-party managed services, the big clouds win on breadth. We focus on compute, storage, and networking.

Dedicated single-tenant providers

A single contractual vendor

Some compliance regimes demand bespoke bare-metal contracts. A marketplace wins on price and flexibility, not owning every layer.

Niche regional clouds

An exotic region, today

We cover 40+ regions, but a very specific jurisdiction may still need a local specialist. We would rather say that clearly.

Still think we're the right fit? Most teams do.

Switching

Moving over takes one command

No re-architecting, no lock-in to unwind. Point your existing workload at Kracht and run it the same way, just cheaper.

  • Bring your existing Docker image; it runs unchanged
  • Same CUDA, drivers, and frameworks you already use
  • No egress fees to leave your current cloud
  • Keep your tooling: PyTorch, Ray, vLLM, Slurm, k8s
kracht · deploy

Two sides, one marketplace

Spin up the GPUs you need - or earn from the ones you already own

Rent on-demand compute by the second, or list idle hardware and let it pay for itself. Same marketplace, both directions.
