LAMBDA LABS ALTERNATIVE
Like Lambda Labs, with inference too.
Start one H100 by the second or call an open model, from the same account. Launch 8 or more GPUs yourself, or ask us for a custom quote.

Why switch
Why teams move to Runcrate. One account for models and GPUs.
One GPU, billed by the second
Start a single H100 or B200 and stop it when the run ends. Most GPUs bill by the second, a few by the minute, with no minimum term.
Card by card, side by side
The table above sets each live Runcrate price next to Lambda's lowest per-GPU rate for the same card, so the cheaper one for your card is plain.
Open models on the same balance
When an API call is enough, chat, image, video and speech models sit behind one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, billed from the balance your GPUs use.
Clusters without a sales call
Launch 8 or more GPUs yourself, or reserve a cluster for a month or longer at /clusters/reserved and compare every offer side by side.
Get started
Launch it from your agent.
Your agent writes and runs it. The same key works for every model and every GPU.
