Koyeb, in short
What stood out when we read the documents: strengths, weaknesses, who it suits, and what we could not find.
Strengths
- Per-second billing with scale-to-zero on GPU Services (public preview), so idle inference endpoints stop costing after the idle period.
- Full price list per instance, per second and per month visible without an account, including 2x/4x/8x A100, A100 SXM, H100 and H200.
- Public instance catalog API (app.koyeb.com/v1/catalog/instances) exposes prices, regions and availability status.
- Official Terraform provider, Pulumi provider, CLI, REST API with OpenAPI document, Python and JavaScript SDKs.
- Only third-party cloud offering Tenstorrent Wormhole n300s accelerators, per Koyeb docs.
- Published 99.9% (Scale) and 99.99% (Enterprise) SLA with service credits; public status page with uptime figures.
- Saving plans advertised at up to 50% off on-demand for long-term reservations (terms on contact).
Weaknesses
- New users must subscribe to a paid plan (Pro 29 USD/month minimum) since the Mistral AI announcement; the Starter tier is being removed.
- Card-only payment, postpaid monthly; 29 USD pre-authorization hold and account validation that can take up to 3 business days.
- Most GPU types are only available in North America per the catalog API; B200, L4, 4x H200 and all 8-GPU types show status RESTRICTED.
- Persistent volumes and snapshots are in public preview, documented as 1 to 10 GB, single-machine, not redundant.
- No spot or interruptible GPU tier; no published volume price.
- H100 form factor (SXM or PCIe) and multi-GPU interconnect are not published.
- Instance specs differ between the pricing page and the docs instance table (e.g. L40S 15 vCPU/64 GB vs 30 vCPU/92 GB).
- Ownership transition: company announced joining Mistral AI and a gradual transition into Mistral Compute.
Ideal for
- Teams deploying containerised inference APIs that benefit from autoscaling and scale-to-zero rather than long-running VMs.
- Developers who want Git-push or Docker deploys with Terraform/Pulumi automation and do not need SSH into a GPU host.
- Users evaluating Tenstorrent accelerators.
Not published
- H100 form factor (SXM vs PCIe) not published on pricing, docs or catalog API
- Founding year not stated as such
- the about page only says the team 'set out' in 2021.
- Volume and snapshot prices not published on pages read.
- Saving-plan (reserved) prices and terms not published (up to 50% off, contact sales).
- Tenstorrent n300s price not published (request access).
- SOC 2 report type and ISO 27001 scope not verifiable: Trust Center requires an access request.
- Egress: pricing page plan table and docs pricing FAQ give conflicting allowances and rates.
- GPU interconnect (NVLink/NVSwitch) for multi-GPU instances not published.
- Direct SSH on NVIDIA GPU instances not documented
- SSH via TCP proxy is mentioned only for Tenstorrent.
- Crypto, PayPal and wire transfer not mentioned
- the FAQ lists card brands only.
Observations
Pricing page shows GPU instance prices per hour, per second and per month without an account; H100 at 2.50 USD/hour.
Banner on every page: 'Koyeb is joining Mistral AI to Build The Future of AI Infrastructure'.
N300s and 4x N300s show 'REQUEST ACCESS' instead of a price.
Plans table puts ISO27001/SOC2 and 99.99% SLA in Enterprise; GPU concurrency limit 20 on Pro, 40 on Scale.
FAQ on the pricing page mentions outbound bandwidth at 0.04 USD/GB while the plan table lists 0.02 USD/GB for EU/US.
