The verdict
Dedicated servers and old cards by the month at LeaderGPU. Per-second billing and lower H100 and H200 prices at GPUBank.
LeaderGPU fits EU teams that want a full bare-metal box for weeks or months, with 17 GPU models from GTX 1080 Ti to H200 and card, PayPal or SEPA payment. On the monthly rate it is close to GPUBank on the A100 SXM, at $0.99 against $0.95, but GPUBank is 22 % cheaper on the H100 SXM and 48 % cheaper on the H200. Short use costs more at LeaderGPU: rentals are prepaid by the day at minimum on current servers, and servers are assigned by hand after a fraud check during Dutch office hours. GPUBank bills by the second, includes all traffic and takes crypto.

09The right fit
Different needs. A clear choice.
What LeaderGPU does better
- Bare-metal servers with full root access and no hypervisor
- 17 GPU models, including Gaudi 2, A40, A10, T4 and GTX 1080 Ti
- 8x RTX 3090 NVLink at EUR 999 per month
- Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal and SEPA transfer
- Dutch legal entity; ISO 27001 and NEN 7510 certified facility
Choose GPUBank if
- H100 SXM at $1.85 per GPU-hour, billed per second, with no day minimum
- Instances start on demand, with no manual assignment in office hours
- All traffic included; LeaderGPU charges EUR 0.09/GB past its quota
- Regions in Paris, Frankfurt, Ashburn and Singapore
- CLI, Python SDK, Terraform, templates and crypto top-ups
Moving from LeaderGPU takes an afternoon.
LeaderGPU servers give root access, so data leaves over SSH, within the traffic quota and then at EUR 0.09/GB. Local disks are wiped after the rental and no backups are offered, so copy everything before the period ends.
- 1Launch the same GPU on GPUBank with a persistent disk in Paris or Frankfurt.
- 2Copy data from the LeaderGPU server with rsync over SSH before the rental period ends.
- 3Rebuild the environment from your Docker image or a matching template, then let the rental lapse.
# 1. a GPU and a disk on GPUBank gpubank launch --gpu h100-sxm --region eu-paris --disk data # 2. copy your data from the old machine rsync -azP old-host:/workspace/ root@<new-ip>:/workspace/ # 3. run the same image or template ssh root@<new-ip> 'cd /workspace && ./start.sh'
A few things you might be wondering.
Yes. LeaderGPU rents an 8x H100 SXM server at EUR 11900 per month, which is $2.37 per GPU-hour at 1.1460 USD per EUR. Its daily rate works out to $4.12. GPUBank charges $1.85 per GPU-hour, billed per second, for one GPU or up to 8.
Not on current bare-metal servers. They are prepaid by the day, week or month, and per-minute billing exists only on some older configurations. GPUBank bills per second with no minimum.
No. Its refund policy states that Bitcoin is no longer accepted. It takes Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal and SEPA transfer. GPUBank is paid from a USD balance topped up in Bitcoin, USDT, Ethereum and more than a dozen other coins.
Servers are assigned by hand after a manual fraud check of the payment, on weekdays from 9:00 to 18:00 CET, so weekend orders are delayed. On 29 Sep 2026 the 8x H100 server was available from 8 Oct and the 8x A100 SXM from 16 Oct. GPUBank provisions on demand.
LeaderGPU can be. Its 8x RTX 3090 NVLink server costs EUR 999 per month, and it rents A40, A10, T4 and Gaudi 2 servers that GPUBank does not list. You get the whole bare-metal server, with no hypervisor.
Without. Every price on this page excludes VAT and sales tax, for LeaderGPU and for GPUBank, so the two columns compare like for like. Tax is added at checkout according to where the buyer is based.
