Which Should You Choose?

- You want a referral credit when you sign up (Runpod grants one via our link)
Choose Shadeform if...

- You value marketplace breadth over one provider's tiers
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Runpod or Shadeform cheaper?
Both list a wide range of the same GPU models (18 shared at the time of writing), so the answer changes per model — the live table compares every shared GPU per GPU-hour. Runpod Community Cloud and spot rows are often the floor; Shadeform's price for a model is the cheapest partner cloud it can book.
How does Shadeform availability work?
Shadeform exposes per-configuration stock through its API; GPU Finder polls it hourly, the same as Runpod's public GraphQL endpoint, and shows 30-day reliability for both.
Does Shadeform run its own GPUs?
No. Shadeform is a marketplace layer: it provisions on partner clouds (for example Hyperstack or Lambda capacity can surface through it) and bills through one account. Runpod runs its own Secure Cloud and a vetted Community Cloud of third-party hosts.
Does referral status affect this comparison?
No. Runpod's referral credit applies to you as a new customer; it does not change rankings, prices, availability, or editorial verdicts on GPU Finder.
