From the study · assessment

Northflank, in short

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

Strengths

17 managed-cloud regions across Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific; GPUs offered in up to 8 of them (H100 in 7)
Bring Your Own Cloud on AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle, CoreWeave, Nebius, Civo or any Kubernetes, with a GPU platform fee of 0.00278 USD per GB of vRAM per hour on top of the customer's own cloud bill
Application platform around GPUs: Git CI/CD, preview environments, managed PostgreSQL/MySQL/MongoDB/Redis and more, S3-compatible buckets, secrets, autoscaling
SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA (BAA on Enterprise) stated on the security page
Per-second billing; 7 GPU prices visible without an account
B200 (5.87 USD) and H200 (3.14 USD) per GPU-hour on the managed cloud, up to 8 GPUs per instance

Weaknesses

CPU (0.01667 USD/vCPU-hour) and memory (0.00833 USD/GB-hour) listed as separate line items, so the GPU figure may not be all-in
Egress metered at 0.06 USD/GB; disk 0.15 USD/GB-month
H100, H200 and B200 only in 8-GPU counts on the managed cloud (pricing page data)
GPU access requires a 50 USD minimum credit purchase; GPU services stop immediately when credits run out
Cards only via Stripe (Visa, Mastercard, American Express); no crypto or PayPal listed
No spot or reserved GPU pricing on the managed cloud; Northflank GPUs do not support timeslicing
No SLA outside Enterprise; purchases non-refundable per the terms

Ideal for

Teams that want GPU inference next to their web services, databases and CI/CD in one platform
Companies with AWS/GCP/Azure/Oracle/CoreWeave/Nebius commitments that want a PaaS layer over their own GPUs (BYOC)
Customers needing SOC 2 Type II or a HIPAA BAA

Not published

Whether the GPU hourly price includes CPU and RAM: pricing page lists them separately, Northflank blog says the GPU rate includes attached CPU and RAM
A100 80GB form factor (SXM or PCIe) not published
H100 SXM form factor only stated in Northflank's blog table
vCPU, RAM and local disk per GPU instance not published
Interconnect (NVLink/InfiniBand) for 8-GPU instances not published
Price of dedicated static egress IPs and of the S3-compatible bucket addon not found
What is billed for a paused service not published explicitly
No official Terraform provider found in the docs index
Northflank uses its own templates/IaC and GitOps
GDPR DPA availability not published on the pages read
Countries of regions named only by direction (asia-east, asia-northeast, asia-southeast, europe-west, africa-south, southamerica-east) not stated
catalogue_count 26 counts distinct GPU models on /gpu and /cloud/gpus (managed cloud plus BYOC instance types)
only 7 are sold on the managed cloud with Northflank prices

Observations

Pricing page shows CPU, memory and 5 GPU prices in the header block (second/minute/hour/month toggle) and 7 GPUs in the 'Resource type: GPU' table, no account needed

Pricing calculator compares Northflank Cloud and BYOC monthly spend against 'other providers'

FAQ: charges in US dollars; entering a card only verifies it, charge at end of billing cycle

/gpu and /cloud/gpus list a much wider BYOC catalogue (AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle, CoreWeave, Nebius instance types) without Northflank prices
