Billing
- Billing granularity
- per second
- Minimum charge
- No minimum per deployment ('Billed per second, no minimum' on deploy page). API instance creation requires a minimum balance of $1 and minimum 100 GB storage.
- Stopped instance
- Storage only at the host's storage rate (deploy page estimate: 100 GB stopped = $0.0050/hour); GPUs are released ('stop and unreserve') and restart depends on availability. Core Compute locations use network storage so a stopped VM can restart on any server with that GPU in the same location.
- Egress
- included ('no ingress/egress fees'; minimum 1 Gbps included)
- Public IPv4
- Port forwarding by default; dedicated IP where the location supports it (Core Compute: static IP per VM). Dedicated IP price not published.

- Enterprise support
- not published
- SLA
- No customer uptime SLA. Hosts held to a 99.99% uptime standard; downtime credits 10x hourly rate (Top Hosts) or 5x (Standard Hosts), min $5, max 100% of previous month's spend; data loss credit 40x hourly rate.

TensorDock, in short
What stood out when we read the documents: strengths, weaknesses, who it suits, and what we could not find.
Strengths
- Full KVM virtual machines with root access and dedicated GPU passthrough, Windows 10 supported (home page)
- Per-second billing with a la carte vCPU ($0.003/h), RAM ($0.002/GB-h) and NVMe ($0.00005/GB-h) (cloud-gpus page)
- No ingress/egress fees (cloud-gpus page)
- Stopped VMs billed for storage only; deploy page shows 100 GB stopped at $0.0050/hour
- H100 SXM reserved per-GPU rates published: $2.00 monthly, $1.90 annual, $1.50 3-year (gpu-h100 page)
- Spot bidding, host minimum bids 'typically around 50% of the on-demand price' (spot docs)
- Published downtime credits of 5x to 10x the hourly rate and 40x for data loss (docs)
- REST API v2 with location and hostnode discovery, cloud-init and instance resizing (dashboard API docs)
Weaknesses
- No live price list without an account: the deploy page and the public locations/GPU endpoints return no GPU data when signed out
- Public price tables are dated July 2024 and conflict between pages (H100 spot $1.91 vs $1.30; A100 $1.42 / $1.50 / $1.63)
- Headline GPU prices exclude CPU, RAM and storage
- Prices set by independent hosts and vary by host; 'Standard Hosts' may be in residential or business facilities with little redundancy
- Servers are deleted automatically when the balance reaches $0 (home page FAQ)
- Cannot serve consumers in VAT/GST countries without a VAT/GST ID (taxes page)
- No serverless, managed Kubernetes or container product documented; no company-level compliance certification
Ideal for
- Cost-sensitive users who want full VMs (including Windows and cloud gaming) on consumer or older data-center GPUs
- API integrators who want to choose exact hosts and pay a la carte for CPU/RAM
- Teams ready to sign multi-month H100 reservations
Not published
- Live per-host GPU prices and the full current catalogue: dashboard and API require login
- public endpoints return empty data
- Which crypto coins or processor are accepted, and the KYC process for crypto payments
- Dedicated IPv4 price and network storage price
- Whether PayPal or wire/invoice are accepted
- Founding year and funding
- Any CLI, SDK or Terraform provider (only REST API v2 documented
- an older Postman v0 collection is linked from the site)
- Whether the 2024-dated price tables are still current
Observations
https://www.tensordock.com/pricing returns 404; the only public GPU price table is on cloud-gpus.html, marked 'Last Updated: July 24, 2024. Please check the dashboard for live pricing and availability.'
A site-wide banner still reads 'March News: TensorDock launches a massive fleet of on-demand NVIDIA H100 SXMs at just $2.25/hr'
Home page claims '45 available GPU models'; GPU pages say '27 GPU types'; comparison pages say 44; only 14 models are named on public pages
Deploy page (dashboard.tensordock.com/deploy) is viewable signed out but shows 'Loading available GPUs' and 'Authentication Required'; its estimator shows $0.0490/h running and $0.0050/h stopped for 4 vCPU/16 GB/100 GB, 'Billed per second, no minimum, Monthly estimates based on 730 hours'
The advertised 'curl https://dashboard.tensordock.com/api/stock/list' returns 404; /api/v2/locations returns an empty list unauthenticated
Home page counters show '97+ Locations', '703+ GPUs in stock', '29,703+ GPUs through partners'
Comparison pages (vs AWS, Azure, GCP, CoreWeave, Lambda, Paperspace, RunPod, Vast) are dated 2024 and carry a disclaimer that the data may be inaccurate
RunPod comparison page states balance refunds on request minus a 5% fee
