SaladCloud

Salad Makes GPU Computing Even More Affordable

We’re thrilled to announce another massive round of price cuts across our entire GPU fleet, cementing SaladCloud’s position as the most affordable cloud computing platform in the world. With these new prices, we’re not just competing – we’re redefining what affordable cloud computing looks like.

The highlights? You can now rent (on batch priority):

  • H100 NVL for just $0.99/hr
  • RTX 5090 for just $0.25/hr
  • RTX 4090 for just $0.16/hr – that’s an 11% reduction from our previous industry-leading prices
  • RTX 3060 for just $0.03/hr – 63% price cut from $0.08

And these aren’t just advertised prices. With over 450,000 compute providers and growing daily, SaladCloud delivers unmatched availability at these breakthrough price points.

The Numbers Don’t Lie: Salad vs. The Competition

Let’s get straight to the point. Here’s how SaladCloud’s new pricing stacks up against the lowest prices we could find from other major cloud providers:

Where We Dominate the Competition

  • RTX 5090: Salad $0.25/hr vs. RunPod $0.69/hr – 64% cheaper than RunPod
  • RTX 4090: Salad $0.16/hr vs. Vast.ai $0.17-$0.32/hr vs. Runpod $0.20/hr – Up to 50% cheaper than competitors
  • RTX 3090: Salad $0.09/hr vs. RunPod $0.11/hr vs. Vast.ai $0.14-$0.35/hr – Up to 74% cheaper than competitors

What Makes These Prices Possible?

Our distributed compute network continues to grow exponentially. We now have:

  • 450,000+ active GPU providers contributing compute power
  • 2+ million GPU owners in our ecosystem
  • Zero infrastructure overhead – allowing us to pass savings directly to customers

This scale advantage means we can offer enterprise-grade GPUs at prices that traditional cloud providers simply cannot match.

Four-Tier Pricing: Choose Your Priority Level

We’ve enhanced our pricing model with four distinct priority tiers to match your workload requirements:

GPU TypeHigh PriorityMedium PriorityLow PriorityBatch Priority
H100 NVL (94GB)$1.80$1.53$1.26$0.99
H100 SXM (80GB)$1.80$1.53$1.26$0.99
A100 SXM (80GB)$1.00$0.83$0.67$0.50
A100 PCIe (40GB)$0.95$0.77$0.58$0.40
L40S (48GB)$0.81$0.65$0.48$0.32
RTX 5090 (32GB)$0.45$0.38$0.31$0.25
RTX 5080 (16GB)$0.42$0.34$0.25$0.18
RTX 4090 (24GB)$0.30$0.25$0.20$0.16

Multi-GPU Configurations Available

Need serious compute power? We’ve got you covered:

  • 8x H100 NVL: Starting at $7.92/hr (Batch Priority)
  • 8x A100 80GB: Starting at $4.00/hr (Batch Priority)
  • 8x L40S: Starting at $2.56/hr (Batch Priority)

When to Choose Each Priority Tier

High Priority ($$$): Mission-critical inference serving thousands of users, requiring 24/7 availability.

Medium Priority ($$): Production workloads that need reliable uptime but can handle occasional interruptions.

Low Priority ($): Development, testing, and non-time-critical batch processing.

Batch Priority: Long-running training jobs, research workloads, and cost-sensitive batch processing where maximum savings matter more than guaranteed availability.
