Details change — verify before you decide. ## Hyperstack vs LowCostGPU prices, GPU by GPU Public on-demand list prices per GPU-hour on Hyperstack's pricing page (2026-09-03) against LowCostGPU's fixed rates today — every LowCostGPU price is the public marketplace median × 0.70, rounded down, re-checked weekly. | GPU | Hyperstack list | LowCostGPU on-demand | LowCostGPU interruptible | Difference | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [H200](https://lowcostgpu.com/gpu/h200) (SXM) | $3.99 | **$3.131** | $1.565 | −22% on LowCostGPU | | [H100 SXM](https://lowcostgpu.com/gpu/h100-sxm) (SXM · reserved from $2.72) | $3.20 | **$1.680** | $0.840 | −48% on LowCostGPU | | [H100 NVL](https://lowcostgpu.com/gpu/h100-nvl) (NVLink) | $2.60 | **$2.105** | $1.052 | −19% on LowCostGPU | | [H100 PCIE](https://lowcostgpu.com/gpu/h100-pcie) (reserved from $1.75) | $2.50 | **$1.811** | $0.905 | −28% on LowCostGPU | | [A100 SXM4](https://lowcostgpu.com/gpu/a100-sxm4) (SXM) | $1.60 | **$0.468** | $0.234 | −71% on LowCostGPU | | [A100 PCIE](https://lowcostgpu.com/gpu/a100-pcie) | $1.35 | **$0.388** | $0.194 | −71% on LowCostGPU | | [L40](https://lowcostgpu.com/gpu/l40) | $1.00 | **$0.318** | $0.159 | −68% on LowCostGPU | | [RTX A6000](https://lowcostgpu.com/gpu/rtx-a6000) | $0.50 | **$0.281** | $0.140 | −44% on LowCostGPU | | [RTX A4000](https://lowcostgpu.com/gpu/rtx-a4000) | $0.15 | **$0.093** | $0.046 | −38% on LowCostGPU | Configurations differ (node sizes, tiers, regions); the note beside each card says which Hyperstack price is quoted. Negative differences mean Hyperstack is cheaper on that card. ## When to stay with Hyperstack - EU data residency on renewable-powered datacenters is a hard requirement. - You want NVLink or InfiniBand-connected H100 fleets on a reservation with invoicing. - Terraform-managed VM fleets are your operating model. ## Why teams switch to LowCostGPU - Price: Hyperstack lists the H100 SXM at $3.20/hr and the A100 SXM at $1.60/hr; LowCostGPU fixes both at market median × 0.70 and re-checks weekly. - Consumer cards (RTX 5090, 4090, 3090) for diffusion and quantized LLM work, absent from Hyperstack. - Per-second billing, crypto with no KYC, and 32 regions including Asia-Pacific and South America. ## Switching from Hyperstack: what maps to what | On Hyperstack | On LowCostGPU | | --- | --- | | VM | Instance (container or full KVM VM) | | Volume | Volume, $0.08/GB/month | | Reservation | Reserved instance (−35%, capacity held) | | Hyperstack API / Terraform | REST API, CLI, Python SDK | *the whole migration, from the shell* ``` pip install lowcostgpu export LOWCOSTGPU_API_KEY=pg_live_… # console → API keys lowcostgpu launch --gpu h200 --template pytorch --disk 100 --volume data:/data # ✓ instance i-52ab77c1 running (24.1s) · $3.131/hr · per second lowcostgpu stop i-52ab77c1 # billing ends this second ``` Data moves the boring way: rsync or rclone from your Hyperstack machine to a LowCostGPU [volume](https://lowcostgpu.com/products/volumes), which then mounts on every future instance in seconds.

Hyperstack's reserved H100 SXM at $2.72 is still above LowCostGPU on-demand. **Does LowCostGPU have European regions?** Ten: Amsterdam, London, Paris, Frankfurt, Warsaw, Stockholm, Helsinki, Milan, Madrid and Bucharest — all Tier-III facilities. --- Try the switch for the price of a coffee Top up $40 in USDT or Monero, deploy the same image you run on Hyperstack, and benchmark it.
