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 minute
- Minimum charge
- Docs: balance debited every minute (sum of hourly prices / 60, micro-cent remainders carried over). Marketing pages state 'MIN TERM 1 HOUR' and 'Hourly billing'; the docs do not describe a one-hour minimum. Conflict unresolved.
- Stopped instance
- No user stop action exists (API offers launch, restart, terminate). 'Stopped' is a billing-failure state: the VM is stopped for up to 12 hours after the balance goes negative, then terminated. Terminating deletes all data.
- Egress
- included (pricing page: 'No bandwidth charges'; home: 'free egress', 'no bandwidth caps')
- Public IPv4
- not published (each instance shows a login IP address; no IP fee listed)
- Billing model
- prepaid credits
- Minimum deposit
- Initial credit must be 10, 25 or 50 USD; minimum balance threshold at least 5 USD; recharge amount at least the threshold (card auto-recharge; crypto by emailed reminder)
- Free credits
- None published. Referral: 3% of referred users' net top-ups as account credit; approved affiliates up to 10% revenue share and audience discount codes from 20% off
Account
- Payment
- card · PayPal · crypto (yes: BTC only, direct peer-to-peer wallet payment via QR code ('Pay With BTC'); no automatic recharge, top-up reminders by email)
- Sign-up
- email, password, email verification, card (Stripe) or BTC prepayment, age 18+
- Identity check
- none
- Support
- discord, contact form, email
- Enterprise support
- not published
- SLA
- On-Demand product page states '99.999% guaranteed' uptime (Tier III, N+1); no SLA document or service credits published, and the Terms of Service state the Services cannot be guaranteed to be available at all times
- Status page
- not published
- Published uptime

Infrastructure
- Regions
1 named regions in 1 countries
us-central-3 (United States)- Countries
- United States
- Platform
- API, Jupyter, SSH, custom Docker images, bare metalSDK: Marketing pages list 'Python, Node.js, Go, Terraform provider'; the official GitHub org (3 public repos) shows only an MCP server (TypeScript, MIT), a benchmark repo and a Claude Code plugin draft. Official MCP server at vm.massedcompute.com/api/mcpInterconnect: NVLink on H200 NVL, H100 NVL and RTX A6000 NVLink configurations; clusters: '3.2 TB InfiniBand' per node (H200/H100 SXM) and '1.6 TB' (A100), as writtenClusters: Quoted clusters of 8-GPU nodes (H200 SXM, H100 SXM, A100 SXM, A100 DGX) with InfiniBand; '2-128 nodes' on the clusters page and '8-512+' nodes on the home page; typically provisioned within one business day. Bare metal setup 1-3 days. LocalMetal on-prem managed GPUs at a flat monthly rate (quote)
- Storage
- ephemeral · included in the instance price · Local storage bundled per configuration (350 to 10000, unit not shown on the pricing page). No separate volume, network or object storage product or price published; docs suggest running a CPU VM as an NFS server for persistent data.
- Migration out
- No volumes, snapshots or image export are documented. Data must be copied off with SCP or an NFS mount before termination (termination deletes all data). Workloads are standard Ubuntu VMs or Docker containers, so moving means rebuilding the environment from public images and copying data.
Security & compliance
- SOC 2
- Type II
- ISO 27001
- not published
- HIPAA
- claimed (HIPAA badge; DPA mentions 'HIPAA attestation reports')
- GDPR / DPA
- yes: DPA published (processing primarily in the United States)
- Other
- Tier III data centers claimed; NVIDIA Preferred Partner. SOC 2 Type II is a badge claim; no report request process or trust portal found
- Legal entity
- Massed Compute, Inc.
- Funding

Assessment · documents read Sep 29, 2026Massed Compute, in short
What stood out when we read the documents: strengths, weaknesses, who it suits, and what we could not find.
Strengths
- Broad on-demand catalogue on one public price list: 16 priced GPU models from A30 (0.35 USD/GPU-h) to B300 (6.60 USD/GPU-h), in 1x to 8x configurations
- Owns and operates its hardware in Tier III data centers (about page)
- Egress included; vCPU, RAM and local storage bundled in the hourly price
- Browser and client desktop access (ThinLinc VDI) included on every VM, plus SSH and Docker-container deploys
- REST API with scoped tokens and an official MCP server for AI agents (MIT-licensed on GitHub)
- Card payments via Stripe (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), PayPal listed in the Terms, and direct BTC payments
- Quoted bare metal (1-3 days), InfiniBand clusters and on-prem managed GPUs (LocalMetal, delivered with Cisco)
- SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA and GDPR claims with a published DPA and sub-processor list
Weaknesses
- No persistent volumes or stop/resume: terminating a VM deletes all data; persistence requires running a separate VM as an NFS server
- Single country (United States); region not selectable on the price list (API docs: regionName 'any')
- No spot/interruptible prices and no published reserved prices (commitment pricing on request)
- Crypto limited to BTC and cannot auto-recharge; instances are terminated if a crypto top-up is missed
- Deploy guard limits running spend to what half the recharge amount covers (two hours), which blocks launches until the recharge amount is raised
- Terraform provider and Python/Node.js/Go SDKs are claimed on marketing pages but not visible in the official GitHub org
- All purchases non-refundable (Terms); sales tax added where required
- status.massedcompute.com returns 'No status page found'; no SLA document
Ideal for
- Individual developers and small teams wanting hourly NVIDIA VMs with a GUI desktop (rendering, VFX, workstation-style AI)
- Users of older, cheaper Ampere/Ada cards (A30, RTX A5000, RTX A6000, RTX 6000 Ada) on demand
- US-based regulated workloads that need bare metal or on-prem hardware with SOC 2 / HIPAA claims
Not published
- Form factor of 'H100 (80GB)' and 'A100 (80GB)' is not stated on the pricing page
- VRAM of the B300 SXM6 and B200 SXM6 configurations and of the unlabelled 'H100 NVL' rows is not shown
- Unit of the storage column (GB implied, not stated) and whether it is NVMe
- Whether there is a one-hour minimum charge (marketing) or pure per-minute billing (docs)
- Region names and data center cities: only 'us-central-3' appears in a home-page code sample
- docs say data centers across the United States
- Identity verification policy: none documented beyond email verification and a payment method
- whether ID can be requested later is not published
- Public IPv4 per instance not explicitly stated
- Reserved/commitment, bare metal, cluster and LocalMetal prices are quote-only
- Existence of the Terraform provider and Python/Node.js/Go SDKs claimed on the home page could not be confirmed in official repositories
- Wire transfer/invoicing not published
- PayPal appears in the Terms but not in the billing docs
- Funding and headcount not published
Observations
massedcompute.com/home/pricing/ redirects to vm.massedcompute.com/pricing; all prices visible without an account
Prices shown per configuration (total per hour for 1x/2x/4x/8x), not per GPU; each row shows vCPU, RAM and a storage figure without a unit
Grouped as Latest Generation ('from $0.92/hr'), H100 Family ('from $2.73/hr'), A100 Family ('from $1.35/hr'), Professional 48 GB ('from $0.79/hr'), Entry ('from $0.35/hr')
8x H100 (80GB) and 8x L40 show 'Request' with a CONTACT button instead of a price
Site-wide banner: 'H100 SMX5 in stock from $2.89 an hour. Launch one via MCP!' (typo SMX5)
Home page states 'BILLING $0.43+/HR' while the cheapest GPU listed is the A30 at $0.35/hr
Provisioning time stated inconsistently: '~90S' (home), 'under 4 minutes' (pricing), 'under two minutes' (docs quick start)
Cluster size stated as '8-512+' nodes on the home page and '2-128' nodes on the clusters page; the A100 DGX cluster node spec lists '8 H100 (80GB vRAM) GPUs'
Fleet lists B100 (home, on-demand page) and A40 (home, bare metal page) with no price on the pricing page
A 'GPU & AI Advisor' page answers questions with AI-generated text and a disclaimer that details may be inaccurate
Cookie consent banner (CookieYes) with a Reject All option; Terms of Service embedded from Termly
Several vCPU/RAM variants of the same GPU at identical prices (RTX A6000 standard, Premium with double RAM, ALT Config at 0.55; RTX PRO 6000 Reduced Storage)
