Details
Shadeform is a brokerage service that lets you compare inventory and prices from multiple GPU rental providers on one screen. It brings together more than 30 providers, including Lambda Labs, Nebius, Crusoe, RunPod, CoreWeave, Vultr, DigitalOcean, Vast.AI, and TensorDock, through a single API (a channel for calling and using the service from another program) and dashboard. This comparison feature is available for free on the free tier.
Create an account on the official website to use the free tier right away. No separate review or proof of affiliation is required. You can make up to 10 requests per day to check provider lists, remaining capacity, and hourly prices. You can run one small GPU at a time and try it for up to 5 days.
The GPU itself is not free to use. Charges for the GPUs you actually run are deducted from your prepaid balance at the original provider's hourly rate plus a Shadeform fee of 6~12%. RunPod's $1,000 credit for GPU usage and Lambda's research support are separate benefits provided directly by each provider.
