Which Should You Choose?

Choose AWS if...

You need enterprise compliance, SLAs, and support contracts
Your workload depends on the AWS ecosystem (SageMaker, S3, EKS)
You need guaranteed availability with reserved capacity

Choose Vast if...

You want the absolute lowest GPU prices available anywhere
You're running research or experiments where cost matters more than reliability
You need access to consumer GPUs not available on AWS

Frequently Asked Questions

How much cheaper is Vast.ai than AWS?

Vast.ai can be 5-10x cheaper than AWS on-demand pricing for equivalent GPUs. The tradeoff is reliability and ecosystem — Vast.ai machines vary in quality, and you won't have AWS-native services. Check the pricing table above for live comparison.

Is Vast.ai secure enough for sensitive workloads?

Vast.ai's secure cloud offers better isolation than community cloud, but it doesn't match AWS compliance certifications (SOC 2, HIPAA, FedRAMP). For regulated industries, AWS is the safer choice.

Can I migrate from AWS to Vast.ai easily?

Technically yes — both offer Linux GPU instances. But if you rely on AWS services (SageMaker, S3 integration, IAM), migration requires rearchitecting your pipeline. For standalone training jobs, switching is straightforward.

Which has better GPU availability?

AWS has massive capacity but requires reserved instances for guaranteed availability. Vast.ai's marketplace usually has GPUs available immediately at market prices. Check the availability column in the table above for real-time stock data.
