Frequently asked questions
What does a GPU hour cost on Shadeform?+
GPU hour prices start at $0.57. That places Shadeform around the median of €0.63 for the group, and at rank 38 of 95 on this measure. The catalogue spans €0.01 to €349.91 across the market.
Which GPUs can I rent?+
The listed models are H100, A100 80GB and A6000, connected over PCIe. That is a focused data centre set rather than a broad one, so check that your preferred accelerator appears before committing a workload.
How is usage billed?+
Billing is hourly, and the pricing model is hourly. Hourly billing is the most common setup in this category, and per-second billing is the rarest, which is worth weighing if your jobs are short lived.
Where are the GPUs located?+
Shadeform lists from 100 locations, well above the 4 seen across providers here. Wider location spread helps with data residency and latency, and many listings sit well past the 10 mark.
How do I get support?+
Support runs on email, help centre and community. A help centre and community answer most questions in writing, and email reaches the team, but live phone or chat help is not among the listed channels.
Is Shadeform suitable for compliance work?+
The listed certification is SOC 2, and the company is registered as Shadeform, Inc. in the US. Confirm the scope of the audit with the provider before using it for regulated workloads.
Does Shadeform charge for data transfer?+
Egress pricing is not part of the listed facts for Shadeform. Across the wider market, egress per gigabyte runs €0 to €0.22 with a median of €0, so ask before shipping large volumes of data out.
