Why it’s possible

Full GPU performance.
No reservation form. Published pricing.

Hyperstack requires a reservation request form for RTX 6000 Pro access and charges $1.85/hr on-demand or $1.26/hr reserved. packet.ai publishes $0.66/hr openly, no form required, launch in under 5 minutes.

packet.aiDynamic - consumption billing

you pay only for GPU cycles your workload uses

AI workloads average 40% GPU utilisation. Hyperstack charges per GPU-hour regardless of usage. packet.ai’s Dynamic model bills only what you consume producing 64%+ savings on the headline rate.

No reservation form required

Hyperstack requires a capacity request form for RTX 6000 Pro. packet.ai is fully self-serve: sign up, create an SSH key, launch in under 5 minutes with no approval queue.

Published pricing, no form

packet.ai publishes $0.66/hr openly. You can budget from day one without filling out a reservation form or waiting for approval.

Enterprise SLA on Dedicated

packet.ai Dedicated includes a 99.99% uptime SLA. Hyperstack does not publish a contractual uptime SLA for on-demand instances.
