# GPUBank vs Massed Compute

> Massed Compute is a US GPU cloud, established in 2021, that owns its hardware in Tier III data centers and rents NVIDIA VMs of 1 to 8 GPUs, from A30 to B300, each with a ThinLinc remote desktop. Its H100 SXM5 costs $2.89 per GPU-hour on one GPU and $3.14 on an 8-GPU VM; GPUBank charges $1.85. Massed Compute has a wider catalogue, card payments and SOC 2 claims; GPUBank can stop an instance and keep its disk, runs in four countries and bills by the second.

- Massed Compute: https://massedcompute.com, headquartered in Las Vegas, United States
- GPUBank: https://gpubank.io, GPU cloud billed per second at an all-in hourly price (vCPU, RAM, NVMe, one IPv4 and traffic included), prepaid balance topped up in crypto.

## Verdict

**A wide catalogue and a desktop on every VM at Massed Compute. Lower prices and persistent disks at GPUBank.**

Massed Compute suits US users who want older or workstation cards such as the A30, RTX A5000 or RTX 6000 Ada, a browser desktop on each VM, card payments, and quoted bare metal or InfiniBand clusters. For the seven GPUs both of us list, GPUBank costs 24 to 51 % less per GPU-hour. Massed Compute has no stop action and no volumes, so terminating a VM deletes all its data; GPUBank stops an instance and bills only its disk. Massed Compute takes Bitcoin only, without auto-recharge; GPUBank takes more than a dozen coins.

Score over 28 points: GPUBank ahead on 15, even on 7, Massed Compute ahead on 6.

## Questions

### Is GPUBank cheaper than Massed Compute for an H100?

Yes. Massed Compute lists the H100 SXM5 at $2.89 per GPU-hour on one GPU and $3.14 per GPU on its 8-GPU VM. GPUBank charges $1.85 per GPU-hour for an H100 SXM, with vCPU, RAM, NVMe, IPv4 and traffic included.

### Can I stop a Massed Compute VM and keep my data?

No. There is no stop action and no volume product, and terminating a VM deletes all its data. On GPUBank a stopped instance keeps its persistent disk for $0.03 per GB-month, and the disk can move between regions.

### Is the Massed Compute H100 (80GB) an SXM or PCIe card?

The pricing page does not say. It lists H100 (80GB) at $2.73 per GPU-hour separately from the H100 SXM5 and H100 NVL, so this comparison treats it as PCIe. GPUBank rents the H100 PCIe at $1.35 per GPU-hour.

### Does Massed Compute accept crypto?

Only Bitcoin, paid directly to a wallet by QR code, and it cannot auto-recharge: you get an email reminder, and instances are terminated if the balance is not topped up. GPUBank takes Bitcoin, USDT, Ethereum and more than a dozen other coins.

### Where are Massed Compute data centers?

In the United States only. The docs say data centers across the United States, no city is published, and the API tells users to set the region to any. GPUBank runs in Paris, Frankfurt, Ashburn and Singapore.

### Are these prices with or without VAT?

Without. Every price on this page excludes VAT and sales tax, for Massed Compute and for GPUBank, so the two columns compare like for like. Tax is added at checkout according to where the buyer is based.
