Crusoe, in short

What stood out when we read the documents: strengths, weaknesses, who it suits, and what we could not find.

Strengths

No charge for ingress or egress, including to the public internet
Per-second billing for on-demand VMs; stopped VMs pay only for disks
Large Blackwell and AMD fleet: GB200 NVL72, B200, B300, MI355X, MI300X listed
3200 Gbps InfiniBand on 8-GPU H100/H200/B200/MI300X nodes, 6400 Gbps on B300
SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 published on Trust Center
Managed Kubernetes, Managed Slurm, official Terraform provider and CLI

Weaknesses

H100 on-demand at 3.90 USD/GPU-h and H200 at 4.29 USD/GPU-h, both above GPUBank
Blackwell (GB200, B200) and MI355X prices are contact-sales only
Spot capacity only through sales or support, no self-serve spot price
Requires a non-prepaid credit card; no crypto or prepaid option published
H100/H200/A100 SXM/MI300X published only as 8-GPU instance types; single-GPU options are L40S and A100 PCIe
Basic support has best-effort response times only

Ideal for

Teams training on multi-node 8-GPU InfiniBand clusters
Companies needing SOC 2/ISO 27001 and reserved capacity contracts
Workloads moving large data out of the cloud (free egress)

Not published

Spot prices: 'Contact sales' for every GPU
GB200, B200 and MI355X on-demand prices: contact sales
B300 price: listed in docs instance table, absent from pricing page
Whether Self-Serve Deployments hourly price is per GPU or per endpoint
IPv4 address charges not published
Payment methods other than credit card (PayPal, wire, crypto) not documented
Formal SLA percentage and credits not found in public docs
HQ city and country not stated on pages read
City for Iceland, Norway, us-east2 and us-northcentral1 regions not published in locations doc

Observations

Per-GPU-hour on-demand prices visible without account for 6 of 9 GPUs; spot column shows 'Contact sales' for all

Pricing page also lists CPU, storage, Kubernetes, fine-tuning and token prices
