Provider comparisons
Lium vs Vast.ai
GPU marketplace — independent providers list machines and set their own prices, so rates move with competition rather than a fixed rate card. Renters top up by card or crypto and are billed per second, deploying containerized pods with persistent volumes. Almost all capacity is datacenter "secure" tier (a spot tier exists and can be reclaimed by its provider at any time). Note that a third of nodes have a minimum order of more than one GPU. Hosts are paid in two streams: rental fees (95% of what renters pay) daily at 17:00 UTC, and idle pay as network rewards for supported GPUs, about every 72 minutes.
