Billing granularity, minimums, what a stopped machine costs, traffic, addresses, deposits and identity checks, as published by the provider.
Billing
- Billing granularity

- Minimum charge
- 1 hour charged upfront at deployment, not refunded if you stop the booking (Terms 4.2, PAYG docs). After that, billed in advance in 5-minute blocks, including idle time.
- Stopped instance
- No stop/resume state documented: stopping a PAYG booking ends billing and removes the booking; prepaid time is forfeited. Termination may lose data.

- Storage
- ephemeral · included in the hourly price · Each listing shows local storage (250 GB to 5.7 TB). No separately priced persistent volume, network or object storage found in the IO Cloud docs.
- Migration out
- No volumes or snapshots to export: data lives on the booking's local storage and must be copied out (SSH/scp, object storage of the customer's choice) before stopping, because stopping or credit exhaustion removes the booking. Container workloads use standard Docker images and move as-is; purchased IO Credits can be withdrawn after manual finance review (3 to 7 business days).

GPUBank market study, read on the provider's own pages · 23 pages read · facts marked "not published" were looked for and not foundPages read ↓
From the study · assessmentio.net, in short
What stood out when we read the documents: strengths, weaknesses, who it suits, and what we could not find.
Strengths
- Large self-service catalogue visible without an account: 45 partner VM configurations plus 17 io.net-network devices, from RTX A4000 at 0.15 USD/h to 8x A100 and 8x H100 nodes.
- Pays in crypto (USDC, IO Coin via SpherePay) with no top-up fee; cards via Stripe in local currency.
- Sign-up with email one-time passcode or social login; no KYC documented and the FAQ presents the absence of KYC as a feature.
- Public REST API for VMs (VMaaS) and containers (CaaS), including hardware list, price check and burn-rate endpoints.
- Confidential Compute on H100/H200/B200 (Intel TDX, AMD SEV-SNP) with attestation guides, as a managed service.
Weaknesses
- Dynamic pricing: the rate of a running booking can change when the supplier changes its price (Terms 4.3); prices moved between two reads on the same day.
- One hour charged upfront at each deployment and not refunded; all charges final (Terms 4.4). Purchased credits expire after 12 months.
- Card top-ups carry a 5% fee.
- Cheapest data-centre GPUs (io.net network H100 at 1.99, H200 at 2.00, B200 at 4.89 USD/h) were all sold out on the check date; available H100 started at 2.60 USD/h (1 GPU, US partner).
- No stop/resume, no persistent volumes and no snapshots documented: terminating a booking removes it and may lose data.
- No SLA, no public status page, no published SOC 2 report; partner-supplied VMs use a preloaded image that cannot be changed.
- Documentation contradicts itself on payments (older pages describe direct USDC/IO Coin payment per cluster, newer pages say compute is paid only from IO Credits).
Ideal for
- Crypto-native teams wanting to pay in USDC or IO Coin without KYC.
- Short experiments on older or mid-range GPUs (A6000, A100, V100, L40) where a broad partner catalogue helps.
- Buyers needing confidential computing on H100/H200/B200 through a managed engagement.
Not published
- vCPU and RAM per listing: shown only behind "More details" in the console
- the VMaaS hardware API that returns them requires an API key (HTTP 401 without one).
- Egress and IPv4 pricing: not published.
- SLA and uptime: not published
- no status page found.
- SOC 2: only a footer badge
- report type, scope and date not published.
- Form factor (SXM or PCIe) of the partner "H100" and several "A100" 80GB listings is not stated
- recorded as model "other".
- Whether the IO Explorer "Ray" and "BAREMETAL" rates are still bookable: docs say both are now managed services on request.
- The "$0.74 / hr" H100 figure on io.net/cloud: the widget does not say which provider it refers to.
- Company founding year, headquarters city and funding totals: not stated on the pages read.
- catalogue_count counts 27 NVIDIA models (B300, B200, H200, H100 SXM, H100 PCIe, A100 SXM 80GB, A100 PCIe 80GB, A100 40GB, L40S, L40, L4, A40, A30, T4, V100, RTX PRO 6000, RTX 6000 Ada, RTX A6000, RTX A5000, RTX A4000, RTX 5090, RTX 4090, RTX 4090 D, RTX 3090, RTX 4070 Ti, RTX 4060 Ti, RTX 3060)
- the six Apple M3/M4 chips in the IO Explorer are excluded.
Observations
io.net/pricing returns a 404; prices live in the cloud console (cloud.io.net), the home page carousel and the IO Explorer, all visible without login.
Home hero claims "H100s from $2.19/hr vs AWS at $12.29/hr"; no current listing at 2.19 was found (live H100 listings: 2.60 partner, 1.99 io.net network sold out).
Home page also carries a price table labelled "Prices correct as of 30th July 2025" (RTX 4090, H100 PCIe, H100 SXM5, H200 by VM / CaaS / Bare Metal), older than the live console prices.
Console cards show a large discount against a struck-through list price on some items, e.g. H200 "-94%" from $63.30/hr to $3.79/hr, B200 "-44%" from $14.24/hr.
The console's default view hides sold-out items; with "Show unavailable" all 17 io.net-network devices appear as "Sold Out" with a "Request" button.
Prices are per node (per VM) with GPU count shown as x1 to x8; vCPU/RAM appear only under "More details".
io.net/cloud has a "Compare compute prices" widget showing "Cheapest: H100 $0.74 / hr" without naming the providers compared.
Footer shows AICPA SOC2 and GDPR badges and "All services are online" without a link to a status page.
A cookie/consent overlay from NextRoll with 22 advertising partners covers the console.
