Which Should You Choose?

Choose Lambda if...

  • You need 8x H100 or A100 clusters for large-scale training
  • You prefer flat, predictable pricing with no hidden fees
  • You want free egress (Lambda doesn't charge for data transfer)

Choose Runpod if...

  • You need access to consumer GPUs like RTX 4090 or RTX 3090
  • You want serverless GPU endpoints for inference
  • You prefer pay-by-the-second billing for short jobs
