Runpod Serverless Flex pricing: why VRAM alone is the wrong comparison
Runpod's Flex tiers range from $0.58/hour 16GB classes to high-end B300 capacity. The useful decision is model fit, hardware class, and measured cost per job—not VRAM alone.
Modal lists NVIDIA H100 SXM5 GPU allocation at USD $0.001097 per GPU-second (equivalent to $3.9492 per GPU-hour) with 80 GB of VRAM. CPU and memory are billed separately; region selection and non-preemptible execution may add surcharges, and actual regional capacity is not independently checked.
Secondary price terms only; primary pricing stays in the deal summary.
Use-case fit and limitations from the existing resource record.
Published Modal H100 GPU allocation price is verified, but live region-specific inventory/account quota is not. GPU-only base rate excludes CPU/RAM, possible regional and non-preemptible surcharges, storage and excess egress.
