Our verdict
AceCloud fits teams that need unmetered bandwidth, a free managed Kubernetes control plane and India-based billing, and fits poorly anyone chasing the cheapest GPU hour. Hours from INR 381.46 and unmetered transfer put it mid-table on price, strong on what lands in the invoice.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Egress is not a line item: No charge for data transfer; unmetered bandwidth, with bandwidth listed as Unmetered, no egress charges.
- The managed Kubernetes control plane is free, so you pay for nodes only, at $11 a node.
- GPU choice is broad for a provider this size, running through NVIDIA A2, NVIDIA A30 and NVIDIA A100 (80GB).
- New customers open with INR 20,000 (USD 200 in the United States) for new customers, valid 7 days to try a card before committing.
Cons
- GPU hours from INR 381.46 sit at 90 of 95 brands on that measure.
- Footprint is thin: 3 regions in IN and US, with vps as the only server type.
- Object storage carries a 30 to 180 minimum storage term, and managed clusters stop at 1,000 nodes in total.
Who it suits
- Teams based in India and US that want a free managed control plane and phone support for production incidents
- Data-heavy pipelines and model serving, where egress is INR 0 per GB and bandwidth stays Unmetered, no egress charges
- Model builders who need both data centre cards such as NVIDIA A100 and workstation parts in one catalogue
Who should look elsewhere
- Salad, whose NVIDIA RTX 3060, NVIDIA RTX 3070 and NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti is built on consumer cards rather than a data centre range
- ComputePrices.com, which lists H100 SXM, A100 SXM and H200 and suits cross-provider price checks
- SberCloud, whose B300, H100 and A100 is the other catalogue to weigh these cards against before choosing
The company behind it
AceCloud is run by Real Time Data Services, headquartered in India, and has been trading since 2,010 to 2,011, so it sits with the established independents rather than a new entrant. Support comes through email, phone and help centre: a phone call, an email, the help centre or the community are all listed routes to an answer.

Frequently asked questions
What does a GPU hour cost on AceCloud?+
GPU hours start at INR 381.46 and bill hourly. Buying models cover hourly and free tier, so a free tier sits alongside the hourly option. New customers can test with INR 20,000 (USD 200 in the United States) for new customers, valid 7 days, which is time limited, so a short trial run costs little.
Is there an egress or data transfer charge?+
Egress is not billed: No charge for data transfer; unmetered bandwidth, with INR 0 per GB on file, and Zero egress fees, bandwidth unmetered for most workloads. Bandwidth itself is Unmetered, no egress charges. For teams shipping models and datasets off the platform, that removes the line item which usually drives the bill elsewhere.
What does managed Kubernetes cost?+
The managed control plane is free, so the charge is nodes, from $11, and the priced control plane figure is $0. Clusters scale to 1,000 nodes. Images cover linux and windows, so both Linux and Windows workloads sit on the same cluster.
What is the smallest VPS plan and how is it billed?+
The entry plan is 1 vCPU, 4 GB RAM (S3a.medium) at INR 1,349. Billing models listed are hourly and monthly, so a short test can close after an hour while longer workloads move to monthly. Operating systems available are linux and windows.
Which regions and locations can I use?+
Regions are listed as IN and US, with 3 regions and 3 locations. That is a small footprint, so anyone needing a particular country should check it first. Residency matters more for regulated data, where the certification set ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISO/IEC 20000:2018 and ISO/IEC 27017:2015 includes a US-specific entry.
How much is storage, and does it work with S3 tools?+
Object storage is priced at INR 1.10 per GB per month, with storage types listed as object and block. S3 compatibility is confirmed, so existing SDKs and tools carry over. Plan around the 30 to 180 minimum storage term before setting a lifecycle.
What support and uptime are offered?+
Support runs through email, phone and help centre, covering email, phone, a help centre and a community space. The published availability commitment is 99.95% to 99.99%, and DDoS protection is included. Phone support matters for teams running production during Indian business hours.
Which compliance certifications does it hold?+
The certification list is ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISO/IEC 20000:2018 and ISO/IEC 27017:2015, spanning information security, cloud security and privacy standards, health data in the US regions, MeitY empanelment and India's DPDP Act. Regulated buyers can match these against their own checklists before committing.
