Hi HN!

I created this originally to be able to find cheapest interruptible GPU resource.

It has grown to cover all possible instance types for major cloud providers.

Current features:

- Data refreshed every week

- Seven major cloud providers covered

- CPU or GPU instance hunting

- On-demand or interruptible pricing

- Filter by CPU, RAM, Region or Vendor

- Sort by Price, Price per CPU, Price per GB RAM, Price per GPU and many others

Final goal is to allow one click depoyment of desired instance.

This is looks like a great tool!

A few notes.

The default sort is price per vCPU, but all the ones that slow up initially are actually fractions of a CPU. Granted, getting the actually fraction is not made easy by the vendors.

Some providers, like digital ocean and linode include some bandwidth with the instance. If you have any egress at all, choosing one of those may have a large cost savings.

Thanks for making this tool, cloud pricing is a maze, and things like this help a lot.

Great tool. Would be good to also include other services like: advania, linode, Hertznet. Often these are cheaper and have more RAM, some even offer DDoS attack. (AWS costs about $6000 from their DDoS team).

When your initial goal was to find cheap GPU instances did you look at Genesis Cloud ( https://www.genesiscloud.com/ )? They currently offer Nvidia 1080ti and apparently soon RTX3080 and RTX3090 plus some AMD types.

Yes, but Azure interruptible GPUs are usually cheaper

It would be nice to filter by region too. Currently, when you select a global area (like North America) you end up with lots of duplicate machine types for the various regions within. I know the prices can vary between Central US and East US but it would be helpful to narrow these down when searching.

very useful tools, bravo! However when I select AWS as provider and Europe as region, it doesn't show anything.

It only seems to have US AWS pricing.

One place for apples to apples comparison is a great idea.

Is there API access?

Yes there is an API, you can send inquirey through Send Feedback feature on the site.
