## Verdict

**SLA, certifications and managed AI tools at OVHcloud. Lower prices and newer GPUs at GPUBank.**

OVHcloud suits European buyers who need SecNumCloud, HDS or ISO 27001 paperwork, a 99.99 % SLA and managed Kubernetes, notebooks and training jobs. For the four GPUs both of us rent, GPUBank costs 55 to 69 % less per GPU-hour on demand. OVHcloud has no spot tier, bills instances until they are deleted and starts charging for public IPv4 on 1 October 2026. Its monthly billing narrows the gap for steady workloads, and it takes cards and PayPal where GPUBank takes crypto.

Score over 26 points: GPUBank ahead on 11, even on 9, OVHcloud ahead on 6.
