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 T4 (16 GB VRAM) serverless GPU tasks at USD 0.000164 per GPU-second, equivalent to USD 0.5904 per GPU-hour for the GPU alone. CPU, memory, and egress may be billed separately; region selection and non-preemptible execution can increase rates.
