True cost & billing · read Sep 29, 2026What the hourly price does not say
Billing granularity, minimums, what a stopped machine costs, traffic, addresses, deposits and identity checks, as published by the provider.
Billing
- Billing granularity
- per block (about 6 seconds, 600 blocks per hour) from an on-chain escrow
- Minimum charge
- No minimum rental period published. Self-custody deployments need an escrow deposit of about 5 ACT minimum plus AKT gas (about 0.02 to 0.1 AKT per transaction); Console Air ACT mint minimum 10 ACT.
- Stopped instance
- No stop state: a deployment runs until closed or until escrow is depleted. Closing returns unused escrow; persistent storage is provider-local and is lost when the deployment is closed or moved to another provider.
- Egress
- not published
- Public IPv4
- extra: dedicated IPv4 via IP lease, priced by the provider; docs cite 'typically ~$5-15/month additional'. Default exposure through provider ingress hostnames and ports.
- Billing model
- prepaid credits
- Minimum deposit
- Managed Console: none published (card top-up via Stripe). Self-custody: about 5 ACT escrow per deployment.
- Free credits
- Docs: 1 USD trial credit, no card, 30 days, deployments limited to 24 h each, GPUs up to RTX 3090 only. Marketing pages show other figures (blog CTA 'Start with $100 Free Credits'; Dec 2024 announcement 10 USD).
Account
- Payment
- card · crypto (yes: self-custody path only (Console Air, CLI, SDK) with a Keplr/Cosmos wallet: escrow funded in ACT (USD-pegged compute credit minted by burning AKT); AKT accepted for escrow top-ups only when the circuit breaker is active; the API docs page still lists 'AKT or USDC' for the blockchain SDK. The managed Console no longer accepts wallet connections (card only).)

Price from the calculator page.
- Migration out
- Workloads are standard container images described in SDL, so they redeploy elsewhere unchanged. Persistent volumes are provider-local with no snapshot or export feature documented; data must be copied out (for example with the shell file-copy commands) before closing. Closing a deployment returns unused escrow; card credits already bought are non-refundable per ToS.

Assessment · documents read Sep 29, 2026Akash Network, in short
What stood out when we read the documents: strengths, weaknesses, who it suits, and what we could not find.
Strengths
- Per-GPU-hour prices for 26 GPU SKUs (25 models) visible without an account, backed by a public no-auth API with min/max/median bid data
- Low network prices: H100 SXM 2.72, A100 SXM 80GB 1.71, RTX 4090 0.30, RTX 5090 0.67 USD/GPU-h (bid-weighted averages)
- Self-custody path needs no account and no KYC (docs: 'No KYC, permissionless'), funded in ACT/AKT
- Card billing via Stripe with automatic escrow funding and optional Auto Top-Up in the managed Console
- Container-native (SDL similar to Docker Compose), official Go and JS/TS SDKs, CLI and REST API
- Opt-in confidential compute (TEE), including GPUs in NVIDIA Confidential Computing mode, on capable providers
Weaknesses
- Thin supply: 429 GPUs of capacity network-wide per the stats page (446 total, 146 available in the gpu-prices API); several models have a single provider and zero available units
- Persistent storage is provider-local and lost when a deployment closes or moves provider
- No SLA, no status page, no published compliance certifications; ToS provides the services 'as is'
- The price is only known after bids arrive; published figures are averages, not guaranteed rates
- Crypto is no longer accepted in the managed Console; crypto users must self-host Console Air or use the CLI with a Keplr wallet
- Card top-ups are converted to a stablecoin and are non-refundable per ToS
- Egress not published; IPv4 is an extra IP lease
Ideal for
- Cost-sensitive inference and batch jobs that tolerate provider variability
- Crypto-native teams wanting permissionless, wallet-funded compute
- Developers already packaging workloads as containers
Not published
- Company HQ city/country and founding year not read on an official page on the check date (ToS names Overclock Labs Inc., governed by Texas law).
- Egress/bandwidth pricing not published
- set implicitly by provider bids.
- Maximum GPUs per deployment and interconnect (NVLink/InfiniBand) not published at network level.
- B200 has no data in the gpu-prices API and B300 has no price there
- only the fixed rates on the pricing page are available, access terms not published.
- Current protocol take fee on payments not read on an official page on the check date.
- Actual trial credit amount: docs say 1 USD, marketing CTA says 100 USD.
- Conditions that trigger identity verification: ToS section 2.2 reserves the right to verify identity and screen against sanctions lists
- no threshold published.
- Whether USDC is still accepted for self-custody escrow: deployments docs say ACT only (AKT under circuit breaker), the API docs page says AKT or USDC.
- Regions are provider locations from IP geolocation in the Console providers API (online providers on 2026-09-29), not fixed data centres
- cities not given.
Observations
GPU pricing page is public: 26 rows, sortable by VRAM, filterable by model, VRAM band and interface (SXM/PCIe); each row shows a 'Starting at' USD/hr figure and a 'Rent' button (B200/B300: 'Get access')
Footnote: 'Prices are per GPU-hour in USD, derived from recent provider bids on the network and weighted by each provider's GPU count. B200 and B300 are listed at fixed rates.'
Despite the 'Starting at' label, the figures equal the weightedAverage field of the public API console-api.akash.network/v1/gpu-prices, not the minimum bid (e.g. H100 minimum 2.04 vs 2.72 shown)
Home page comparison widget: H200 for 1 h, Akash $4.45/hr vs CoreWeave $6.31, AWS $7.91, Google Cloud $10.44; the same page claims 'H100s for $1.33/hr', inconsistent with the 2.72 on the pricing page
Usage Pricing Calculator prices CPU, memory, ephemeral and persistent storage separately (default 20 vCPU, 128 GiB RAM, 256 + 256 GiB: 305.78 USD/month) and compares with AWS Fargate, GKE and Azure Container Instances on a 730 h/month basis
Trial credit amount is inconsistent across official pages: docs 1 USD, blog CTA 100 USD, 2024 announcement 10 USD
Home page network stats: 60 active providers, 401 GPUs; stats.akash.network the same day: 62 providers, 429 GPUs capacity, 169 GPUs leased
Docs 'GPU Deployments' page still lists older price ranges (e.g. H100 2.50-4.00/hr, RTX 4090 0.50-1.50/hr) that differ from the live pricing page
Docs claim 'Providers in 85+ countries'; the providers API shows 60 online providers in 21 countries
