True cost & billing · read Sep 29, 2026

What 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 second
Minimum charge
None; no minimum rental period and no rounding. Deploying requires a balance covering at least 15 minutes of the pod's hourly price.
Stopped instance
No user pause that stops compute billing is documented: a pod bills from the deploy request (provisioning included) until it is removed, reboots stay billed, billing pauses only while the provider node is inactive. Data outside an attached volume is deleted with the pod. Volumes and backups keep billing 0.00005 USD/GB-hour on stored data until deleted.
Egress
Pod internet traffic: not published. Volume reads: metered at the AWS S3 data-transfer cost billed to Lium, no free tier.
Public IPv4
not published (pods are reached by SSH on the node's IP and a forwarded port; listings show open ports per node)
Billing model
prepaid credits
Minimum deposit
10 USD for card and stablecoin top-ups (Top Up form shows 10 USD for TAO and alpha too); Auto Top Up amount at least 20 USD
Free credits
5 USD signup credit when the platform has it enabled and no other account signed up from the same IP

Account

Payment
card · crypto (yes: stablecoins by invoice to a deposit address (USDT on Tron given as example; pairs listed by GET /tmc-pay/currencies), TAO and Bittensor alpha)

Storage

Migration out
Workloads run as Docker containers from public or custom templates, so images move as-is. Data on local disks is deleted with the pod; data in volumes lives in S3-compatible buckets and must be copied out (rsync/scp from a pod, with volume reads billed as egress). There is no documented bulk export of volumes or backups beyond restoring them into a pod.

From the study · assessment

Lium, in short

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

Strengths

  • 91 GPU models priced publicly per GPU-hour, with the table also served as JSON (lium.io/pricing.json) and a live node feed, no account needed
  • H100 SXM from 1.30 USD/GPU-h, L40S 0.38 and RTX 5090 from 0.50 on 2026-09-29 (lowest live asks)
  • Per-second billing with no minimum; 15-minute balance needed to deploy
  • Card payments via Stripe (with Auto Top Up) in addition to stablecoins, TAO and alpha
  • Headless signup without email (32-character fingerprint credential) and a CLI, Python SDK, OpenAPI 3.1 REST API and agent skill built for AI agents
  • Multi-node clusters over InfiniBand or RoCE; Intel TDX confidential-computing nodes
  • Volume and backup storage at 0.00005 USD/GB-hour (about 0.036 USD/GB-month)
  • Provider price increases reach a running pod only after 7 days notice

Weaknesses

  • Hardware belongs to independent providers; terms give no uptime warranty and no SLA
  • Prices are provider asks that move; 74 of 91 listed models had no free pod on 2026-09-29 and show only a reference price
  • Own docs warn of silent downgrades to 1 GPU and pods billed for more GPUs than the container exposes on 4- and 8-GPU rentals
  • Top-ups are non-refundable and unused balance is not refunded on closure; when the balance hits zero pods are removed and local data deleted
  • Volume reads billed as egress at AWS cost with no free tier; volumes are object storage, slower than local disk for random I/O
  • No SOC 2, ISO 27001 or HIPAA statement published; operator incorporated in Saint Kitts and Nevis

Ideal for

  • Cost-sensitive training and inference jobs that tolerate provider variability
  • AI agents and scripts that must sign up, fund, rent and tear down GPUs without a human
  • Short experiments that benefit from per-second billing on a wide range of consumer and data-center cards

Not published

  • Founding date, headcount and funding: not published on lium.io or docs.lium.io
  • Pod internet egress pricing or caps: not published
  • Dedicated public IPv4 per pod: not published
  • PayPal and bank wire: not mentioned in the terms or billing docs
  • Full list of accepted stablecoins and networks: only returned by an authenticated API call (GET /tmc-pay/currencies)
  • Number of public templates: not published
  • SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR DPA: no statement found
  • Regions are the locations of rentable nodes in the public feed on 2026-09-29 (118 nodes)
  • the provider fleet changes continuously
  • Median price per model is not published
  • rows record the lowest live ask (the low end of the published range) or the reference price

Observations

Home page is the live marketplace: 123 of 522 pods available, each card with price per hour, per-GPU price, CPU, RAM, disk, network, uptime, reliability, city and provider hotkey

Filters include GPU type, count, price range (0.11 to 207.20 USD/hr), tier (Secure or Spot), location, CUDA version, confidential computing and cluster fabric

Pricing page lists every model per GPU-hour grouped as Data center, Professional and Consumer, with live ranges and availability, without an account
