## Verdict

**Blackwell, clusters and compliance at Verda. Lower prices and per-second billing at GPUBank.**

Verda suits teams that want GB300, B300 or B200 without a sales call, self-service InfiniBand clusters, serverless containers and SOC 2, ISO 27001 and C5 reports, with data kept in Finland. For the six GPUs both of us rent, GPUBank costs 39 to 64 % less per GPU-hour on demand. Verda charges prepaid 10-minute increments and keeps billing a shut-down instance until it is deleted; GPUBank bills by the second and bills only the disk once you stop. Verda takes cards and bank transfers; GPUBank takes crypto and asks for no card.

Score over 25 points: GPUBank ahead on 9, even on 6, Verda (ex-DataCrunch) ahead on 10.
