Our verdict

Aethir suits teams that want bare metal GPU capacity with bandwidth costs already folded into the hourly rate. Entry is $1.25 on hourly billing, and the published lineup covers B200, H200 and H100. Pricing here reads as a straightforward hourly rate rather than a tiered plan.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Bare metal hardware with no virtualization overhead, per bare metal, no virtualization overhead.
  • No hidden bandwidth fees, so data leaving the platform does not add a separate line, per no hidden bandwidth fees.
  • The terms name DCI Foundation as the contracting entity, which helps vendor checks before a purchase.

Cons

  • Entry of $1.25 sits above the €0.61 median across ranked GPU providers, so Aethir is not the cheap option on the page.
  • Support runs on email, help centre and community only, with no live chat or phone line.
  • Aethir's B200, H200 and H100 list is far shorter than the range ComputePrices.com carries in H100 SXM, A100 SXM and H200.

Scored 8.9 / 10 by DeployCue.

Who it suits

  • Teams training or serving on the datacenter accelerators listed in B200, H200 and H100.
  • Builders who need bare metal, matching bare metal, no virtualization overhead, rather than managed virtual machines.
  • Teams that want egress already folded into the hourly rate, per no hidden bandwidth fees.

Who should look elsewhere

  • ComputePrices.com, when a long GPU catalogue matters more than bare metal hardware.
  • Salad, when the consumer and community parts in NVIDIA RTX 3060, NVIDIA RTX 3070 and NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti suit the workload.
  • SberCloud, when you need the wider datacenter generation list in B300, H100 and A100.

Frequently asked questions

What does a GPU hour cost on Aethir?+

Entry is $1.25 for a GPU hour, billed hourly. Work is counted in hourly steps rather than by the second, so steady long running jobs fit the model better than quick experiments. You only add your own transfer costs for data you move elsewhere.

Which GPUs can I rent?+

The published lineup in B200, H200 and H100 spans the top datacenter accelerators plus L40S for lighter inference work. The part you actually get depends on availability in the region you deploy to, so leave some slack in your model choice.

Is there an egress charge on top?+

The published position is no hidden bandwidth fees, so data leaving the platform does not turn into a separate bandwidth line. That matters most for training jobs that pull large datasets and for inference servers that return big responses.

Do you run on virtual machines or bare metal?+

The stated model is bare metal, no virtualization overhead, which removes a virtualization layer between your job and the accelerator. For training runs and latency sensitive inference that usually means steadier throughput, and you can size the work directly against the card you rent.

How do I get support?+

Support runs on email, help centre and community. That means a help centre and a community channel sit alongside email, so documentation and peer answers come first, and anything urgent on a paid training run goes out by email.

Who operates Aethir?+

The terms name DCI Foundation as the contracting entity, with a headquarters in Panama. If you buy as a company, check that entity against your contract and invoice, since that is the party your legal team signs with.

How does Aethir compare with other GPU clouds on price?+

Entry sits at $1.25, above the €0.61 median across the ranked GPU providers on the page. The gap buys bare metal hardware and bandwidth already in the rate, not the lowest headline number.

Is there a free tier or trial to try first?+

The rate card is hourly at $1.25 per hour, so a short paid trial is the practical way to size a job before a long schedule. Longer runs accumulate the same hourly rate for as long as the card is busy.
