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 offers NVIDIA L4 24 GB GPU allocations for serverless Functions at a base rate of $0.000222 per GPU-second ($0.7992 per GPU-hour). CPU, memory, network egress beyond plan allowances, region selection and non-preemptible execution may add charges; real-time GPU availability is not established by the pricing page.
