- Nebius: https://nebius.com/, headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands
- 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

**Newer GPUs, clusters and certifications at Nebius. Half the H100 price and crypto top-ups at GPUBank.**

Nebius suits teams that need B300 or NVL72 capacity, InfiniBand clusters with managed Kubernetes or Slurm, and SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001 paperwork. For the five GPUs both of us rent, GPUBank costs 36 to 65 % less per GPU-hour, and the gap grows on 1 October 2026 when Nebius raises its H100, H200, B200 and B300 prices. Both bill by the second, charge only for disks when an instance is stopped and include egress and public IPs. Nebius takes cards and, for companies, bank transfers; GPUBank takes crypto and needs no card.

Score over 27 points: GPUBank ahead on 6, even on 10, Nebius ahead on 11.
