Our verdict
Sesterce is a French operator running a wide NVIDIA fleet, from the B300 down to the V100, with CPU-only instances you can start at $0.13. It suits developers who want a documented set of certifications and short billing windows rather than the cheapest headline GPU rate around.

Pros and cons
Pros
- GPU hours start at $0.55 on a catalogue that includes the NVIDIA B300, B200, H200 and H100.
- Charging is per minute, with hourly, per second and reserved terms available.
- The Kubernetes control plane is free, so clusters carry no platform fee.
- Certifications cover SOC 2, ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 42001.
Cons
- Support runs on email and help centre only, so there is no phone line or live chat for an outage.
- The footprint is 3 data centres, below the 4 site median.
- GPU hours start at $0.55, above the €0.63 site median for the same measure.
Who it suits
- Teams training or serving models on NVIDIA data centre parts who want per-minute billing.
- Developers who need a Kubernetes control plane without a platform fee.
- Buyers whose vendor review requires SOC 2 and ISO/IEC 27001 paperwork.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who needs AMD silicon or a broader catalogue should weigh ComputePrices.com, whose H100 SXM, A100 SXM and H200 runs wider.
- Teams that only need mainstream parts may find SberCloud's B300, H100 and A100 an easier shortlist.
- Buyers after spare consumer capacity can look at Salad, which runs on NVIDIA RTX 3060, NVIDIA RTX 3070 and NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti.
Core features
The GPU catalogue covers NVIDIA B300, NVIDIA B200 and NVIDIA H200. Workloads run in 3 data centres, and the fabric between nodes is described as non-blocking InfiniBand with rail-optimized topology and native RDMA, so multi-node training does not queue behind a blocking interconnect.
The company behind it
The operator is Sesterce SAS, registered in France. Support runs through email and help centre, so most exchanges are written and can be quoted in a procurement file. There is no phone line or live chat listed, which suits teams that work through tickets rather than waiting on a call.

Frequently asked questions
What does GPU compute cost per hour?+
GPU hours start at $0.55, just under the €0.63 site median for the same measure. Per-second and reserved terms sit alongside hourly billing, so a benchmark run can be started and stopped without rounding up to a full hour.
What is the cheapest way in?+
The entry point is a CPU-only instance at $0.13, specced as 8 vCPU, 32 GB RAM, CPU only instance. No GPU is attached to that plan, so it works as a build box or control node while a training job is prepared elsewhere.
How is usage billed?+
Charging is per minute, and the available terms are hourly, per second and reserved. That combination suits bursty training and fine-tuning work where an idle accelerator should not accrue a full hour of cost.
Is the Kubernetes control plane free?+
A free control plane is included, so you can run a cluster without a platform fee. Nodes are billed on top of that. Where a managed control plane carries a fee, the listed range runs $0.41 to $6.05.
Where are the data centres?+
Capacity is listed across CA, FI and FR, and the platform reports 3 data centres. The region list is the practical guide to latency, so pick the site closest to your users and to your data before ordering accelerators.
Which certifications does Sesterce hold?+
The listed certifications are SOC 2, ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 42001. SOC 2 and the ISO/IEC pair cover security and AI management, while HDS and the Uptime Institute tier speak to health data hosting and facility standard.
How do I reach support?+
Support runs on email and help centre. There is no phone number or live chat in the channels listed, so a time-sensitive outage means a written ticket, and buyers who need a voice line should check the alternatives.
