GPUBank vs Koyeb
Koyeb is a French serverless platform from Boulogne-Billancourt that runs containers in microVMs and bills GPU instances by the second, with autoscaling and scale-to-zero; it announced in February 2026 that it is joining Mistral AI. Its H100, form factor not published, costs $2.50 per GPU-hour; GPUBank charges $1.85 for an H100 SXM. Koyeb is built for inference endpoints that sleep when idle; GPUBank rents GPU instances with SSH, takes crypto and charges no plan fee.

The verdict
Scale-to-zero inference and a contractual SLA at Koyeb. Lower GPU prices and no plan fee at GPUBank.
Koyeb suits teams that deploy containerised inference APIs and want autoscaling, scale-to-zero and Terraform or Pulumi automation, with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 listed on its Enterprise plan. For the GPUs both of us rent, GPUBank costs 17 to 56 % less per GPU-hour. New Koyeb users must pay a plan of at least $29 per month, by card only, and most of its GPU types run only in North America. GPUBank has no plan fee, takes crypto, includes traffic and IPv4, and gives SSH access in Europe, the US and Singapore.

What you see before you pay.
Both sites as a visitor sees them, without an account: the Koyeb pricing page captured on 29 September 2026, and GPUBank's live board. Cookie banners and chat bubbles are closed; nothing else is edited.
- 1The pricing page shows GPU prices per hour, per second and per month without an account, with the H100 at $2.50 per hour.
- 2Every page carries a banner saying Koyeb is joining Mistral AI.
- 3The pricing FAQ gives outbound bandwidth at $0.04/GB while the plan table lists $0.02/GB for EU and US.
- 1Live stock per region and every price, without an account.
- 2Per-hour and per-second prices, with vCPU, RAM, NVMe, IPv4 and traffic in them.

Choose GPUBank if
- H100 SXM at $1.85, against $2.50 for an H100 of unstated form factor
- H200 at $2.49 and B200 at $4.15, against $3.00 and $5.50

- Crypto top-ups with no card hold or validation delay
- All traffic and a public IPv4 included, and SSH on every instance
Moving from Koyeb takes an afternoon.
Koyeb workloads are container images, so the same image runs on GPUBank. Volume data must be copied out from inside the running Service, since no snapshot export is documented.
- 1Launch the same GPU on GPUBank with a persistent disk in the region you need.
- 2Copy volume data out of the running Koyeb Service to object storage, then pull it onto the GPUBank disk.
- 3Run the same container image on GPUBank, then pause or delete the Koyeb Services.

A few things you might be wondering.
Yes, on every GPU both of us list. Koyeb charges $2.50 per GPU-hour for an H100 whose form factor it does not publish, $3.00 for an H200 and $1.20 for an L40S. GPUBank charges $1.85 for an H100 SXM, $2.49 for an H200 and $0.55 for an L40S. An L40S for a 720-hour month costs $864.00 on Koyeb and $396.00 on GPUBank.
Yes, for new users. Koyeb now requires a paid plan: Pro at $29 per month, which includes $10 of compute, or Scale at $299 per month, which includes $100. GPUBank has no plan fee and bills only what you run, from a prepaid balance.
No. Koyeb's pricing FAQ lists card brands only, charged monthly through Stripe after a $29 pre-authorization hold. GPUBank is paid from a USD balance topped up in Bitcoin, USDT, Ethereum and more than a dozen other coins, with no card.
Koyeb. Its GPU Services can scale to zero after an idle period, and paused Services are not charged. GPUBank has no serverless product; you stop an instance yourself and then pay only for its disk, at $0.03 per GB-month.
Koyeb announced a definitive agreement to join Mistral AI on 17 February 2026, subject to closing conditions. The platform keeps operating and billing directly and will gradually become part of Mistral Compute.
Without. Every price on this page excludes VAT and sales tax, for Koyeb and for GPUBank, so the two columns compare like for like. Tax is added at checkout according to where the buyer is based.

What we could not verify (10)
- H100 form factor (SXM vs PCIe) not published on pricing, docs or catalog API; H100 rows recorded as model 'other', so H100 SXM price is null.
- Founding year not stated as such; the about page only says the team 'set out' in 2021.
- Volume and snapshot prices not published on pages read.
- Saving-plan (reserved) prices and terms not published (up to 50% off, contact sales).
- Tenstorrent n300s price not published (request access).
- SOC 2 report type and ISO 27001 scope not verifiable: Trust Center requires an access request.
- Egress: pricing page plan table and docs pricing FAQ give conflicting allowances and rates.
- GPU interconnect (NVLink/NVSwitch) for multi-GPU instances not published.
- Direct SSH on NVIDIA GPU instances not documented; SSH via TCP proxy is mentioned only for Tenstorrent.
- Crypto, PayPal and wire transfer not mentioned; the FAQ lists card brands only.
