Tracked offerings
The offerings ComputeTape tracks
ComputeTape tracks the public on-demand configurations published on the provider price page — one row per GPU. The list rate is the published on-demand price observed there. It is a starting point, not a quote; negotiated, committed, and reserved terms differ.

Where it fits
How ComputeTape reads this provider against the rest of the directory.
- Bursty development, inference, evaluation, and agent workloads that benefit from per-second billing.
- Buyers comparing self-serve H100 access without a minimum commitment.
Best-fit notes are ComputeTape interpretation, not provider guarantees.
Watch-outs
Things to confirm for your own workload before you commit.
- Preemptible prices are lower but interruptible; ComputeTape tracks only the $3.95 on-demand H100 rate in CT-H100, not the $2.27 preemptible rate.
- A GPU sandbox is a different product shape from a long-lived VM or managed training cluster; confirm persistence, networking, and cluster requirements for your workload.
Committed capacity
On-demand vs committed capacity
ComputeTape tracks Daytona’s public on-demand H100, H200, and B200 rates. Daytona also publishes lower preemptible rates, but interruptible capacity is excluded from the on-demand comparisons.
