## Verdict

**Low top-ups and more payment options at Oblivus. Lower prices and GPUs in stock at GPUBank.**

Oblivus suits small teams that want A100, L40, RTX A6000 or RTX 4090 VMs from a $5 top-up, paid by card, bank transfer or crypto, with Windows available. Its prices conflict across the pricing page, the docs and its own comparison table, and its Hopper and Blackwell stock was zero on the check date. For the GPUs both of us list, GPUBank costs 7 to 64 % less per GPU-hour even against the lowest Oblivus figure. GPUBank bills by the second, includes IPv4 and offers a CLI, Python SDK, Terraform and templates, which Oblivus does not document.

Score over 28 points: GPUBank ahead on 15, even on 9, Oblivus ahead on 4.

## Questions

### Is GPUBank cheaper than Oblivus for an H100?

Yes. The Oblivus pricing page lists the H100 SXM5 at $4.31 per GPU-hour, and its docs quote $2.00 as of December 2024. GPUBank charges $1.85 per GPU-hour for an H100 SXM, with IPv4 and traffic included.

### Why do Oblivus prices differ between pages?

Oblivus publishes three price sets that disagree: the pricing page, a docs FAQ dated December 2024 and a comparison table on the pricing page. This page treats the pricing page as primary and shows the docs figure where it is the only or lowest one.

### Can I rent an H100 or H200 at Oblivus today?

Not on the check date. On 2026-09-29 the Oblivus availability page showed zero stock for B200, H200, every H100 variant and A100 NVLINK. What was deployable was A100 80GB PCIe, L40, RTX A6000 and RTX 4090, all in Montreal.

### Do Oblivus and GPUBank both accept crypto?

Yes. Oblivus takes crypto through its in-house Oblivus Pay, without listing the coins, plus cards and bank transfer, from a $5 top-up. GPUBank takes Bitcoin, USDT, Ethereum and more than a dozen other coins from $25, and no cards.

### What does a stopped instance cost on each?

At Oblivus a stopped VM pays NVMe at $0.11 per GB-month plus its IPv4 at $0.0055 per hour, unless you detach the IP. On GPUBank a stopped instance pays only its persistent disk, at $0.03 per GB-month.

### Are these prices with or without VAT?

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