| Provider | Billing | Crypto, and how | Identity at signup | Top GPUs | H100, 720 h |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AnchorGPU | Fixed 7- or 30-day term per card | On-chain: BTC, ETH, USDT (TRC-20), USDC (ERC-20), XMR, SOL, LTC | Username only; no email, phone or ID | B200, H200, MI300X; 1 to 8 cards per node | $1,352 (H100 SXM) |
| RunPod | Per second | Via payment processors; coins not published | KYC may be required before the first crypto payment | B300, B200, H200, H100 | $1,936.80 Community · $2,512.80 Secure |
| Vast.ai | Per second; reserved 1- to 6-month terms | Via BitPay and Crypto.com | Not stated in billing docs | 68+ GPU types | $2,311.20 at the $3.21/h median |
| Lambda | Per minute | None; credit cards only | Credit card, $10 pre-authorization | B200, H100, A100, GH200; up to 8× | $2,872.80 (8×) · $3,088.80 (1×), plus tax |
| Akash Network | Provider bids per GPU-hour | ACT or AKT from a wallet; no BTC or XMR | No KYC via self-custody wallet | H200, H100, A100, RTX 4090 | $1,958.40 at the $2.72/h average |
| io.net | Hourly, prepaid IO Credits | USDC via Spherepay | Not stated | H100 SXM, H100 PCIe | $1,584 ($2.20/h) |
| BTCServers | Monthly; hourly advertised | BTC, XMR, LTC, ETH, USDT and 3 more | Email and password; no ID | Single GPU, up to H100 | $1,190 per month |
| Incognito VPS | Monthly, priced by location | 12 coins incl. BTC and XMR; Lightning | No name, email or ID | Up to 4× H100 SXM5 | $1,034 (US) · $917 (Moldova) per month |
| Clore.ai | Host-set, on demand or spot | CLORE, USDT, USDC; BTC listed, phase-out announced | No KYC for basic use | Mostly RTX 4090 and 5090 | No single-H100 listing in the snapshot |
Offshore no-KYC hosts undercut AnchorGPU on a single H100 month; none of them lists B200, H200 or MI300X. AnchorGPU is the only provider here publishing Monero support alongside those cards in 8-card nodes.
When does a fixed 30-day H100 beat hourly billing?
| Provider and H100 SXM rate | 720 hours | AnchorGPU cheaper above |
|---|---|---|
| Lambda 1×, $4.29/h | $3,088.80 | 316 h (10.5 h a day) |
| RunPod Secure, $3.49/h | $2,512.80 | 388 h |
| Vast.ai median, $3.21/h | $2,311.20 | 422 h |
| Akash average, $2.72/h | $1,958.40 | 498 h |
| RunPod Community, $2.69/h | $1,936.80 | 503 h |
| io.net, $2.20/h | $1,584.00 | 615 h (20.5 h a day) |
| Vast.ai lowest offer, $1.79/h | $1,288.80 | Not within 30 days |
Nodes widen the gap: an 8× H100 SXM node is $9,734 for 30 days, against $22,982.40 for 720 hours of Lambda's 8× instance before tax.

| GPU | 1 card, 7 days | 1 card, 30 days | 8× node, 30 days | Per card-hour, 8× |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| H100 SXM, 80 GB | $380 | $1,352 | $9,734 | $1.69 |

Why choose AnchorGPU
Five reasons to choose AnchorGPU when you pay in crypto.
Each is a published difference.
B200, H200 and MI300X without an identity file
Up to 192 GB per card and 8 cards per node: 1,536 GB of HBM3 across an 8× MI300X. The Monero-accepting no-KYC hosts compared here stop at the 80 GB H100. Your model gets the memory; signup does not ask for your name. Browse 15 GPUs.
A price that cannot move mid-term
An active term's price is fixed and renewals keep it, so the USD total you accept is what the term costs. Vast.ai's H100 SXM offers spanned $1.79 to $5.38 an hour on 25 September. Read the billing ledger.
Seven assets on-chain, Monero included
BTC, ETH, USDT (TRC-20), USDC (ERC-20), XMR, SOL and LTC, with published confirmation counts; deposits start at $20 and are credited within about a minute once the network confirmations are reached. Fund from your own wallet, with no processor account to open. RunPod and Vast.ai use processors; Lambda takes cards only. See assets and networks.
An account that is only a username
A username, a password and eight recovery codes: no email, phone, selfie or ID. BTCServers asks for an email, and RunPod may require KYC before a crypto payment. Create a username account.
Node discount, no setup fee, no meter
Two, four or eight cards cut every card by 5, 8 or 10%, with no setup fee: an 8× H100 SXM node is $1.69 per card-hour over 30 days. See the 8× H100 SXM node.

Before you commit
Six straight answers before you commit.
What will the month cost?
Card plus options: a 30-day H100 SXM with IPv4 ($10) and 10 TB extra bandwidth ($39) is $1,401. No setup fee; the sender pays network fees.
Why trust a catalog price?
Prices are published per card on the pricing page and in the catalog reference, the billing arithmetic is documented, and an accepted price cannot change during the term.
Is the card available, and how fast?
Create your account, deposit from $20, credited in about one minute.
How does crypto payment work?
Prices stay in USD. The crypto amount is an indicative, time-stamped conversion, not a locked rate. Deposits start at $20 and are credited within about a minute once the network confirmations are reached. Read the crypto FAQ.
What does no KYC cover?
Signup asks for a username and password only: no legal name, email, phone or ID. The ledger, deposits and SSH keys are recorded, and AUP reports or valid legal process can still trigger review. No KYC means no identity file, not anonymity. See the full no-KYC scope.
What are the conditions?
Stopping does not pause the term, and early release gives no prorated refund. Auto-renew is off by default, with 72 hours of grace after expiry. Read the terms.

05Which GPU cloud is cheapest for LLM work?
It depends on hours and memory. One H100 for a full month is cheapest at offshore no-KYC hosts ($917 to $1,190). For H200 and B200, AnchorGPU's 30-day prices ($1,832 and $3,112) undercut 720 hours on RunPod Community ($2,584.80 and $4,305.60).

06Can I rent a GPU with Monero?
Yes. AnchorGPU lists XMR on the Monero network (10 confirmations) with six other assets. BTCServers and Incognito VPS also take XMR; RunPod, Vast.ai, Lambda, Akash, io.net and Clore.ai do not list it. How Monero funding works.

07Does AnchorGPU bill by the hour?
No. The shortest term is 7 days: $380 for an H100 SXM, or $2.26 per hour, against $1.88 on 30 days. For jobs of a few hours, use an hourly cloud.

Yes: AnchorGPU lists all three in nodes of 1 to 8 cards behind a username-only signup, and deposit from $20, credited in about one minute. One card for 30 days is $3,112 (B200), $1,832 (H200) or $1,272 (MI300X). Full scope: no-KYC GPU rental.
