Evidence (15)
| date | source | what it proved |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-02 | www.shadeform.ai/ | not published |
| 2026-10-22 | www.shadeform.ai/ | 'The GPU Cloud Marketplace ยท Deploy high quality GPUs at the best prices across 30+ top clouds worldwide' with 'one console to provision GPU instances across top providers with centralized billing' and 'Minimum term is 12 months (1 year)', quoted |
| 2026-10-22 | shadeform.com/prices | 'No fees, no markups.' as the page heading, with 'Using Shadeform is free. You pay the same as going direct to the clouds in our network.', quoted. The page publishes no rate table at all, so every rate in this finding comes from the instance directory, not from the pricing page |
| 2026-10-22 | docs.shadeform.ai/getting-started/faq.md | 'Shadeform charges the same rate as going direct to the cloud provider. There is no additional fee for using Shadeform to launch instances or manage cloud accounts.' and 'When you launch an instance through Shadeform, you pay Shadeform for the GPU time and Shadeform passes the payment to the underlying cloud provider.', quoted from the Business section |
| 2026-10-22 | docs.shadeform.ai/getting-started/faq.md | Shade Cloud is 'the name of the feature where we deploy your instances into our network of cloud accounts with each of the cloud providers. By using Shade Cloud, you can use the underlying cloud provider without having an account with them.' and 'As Shadeform is an abstraction for different clouds and data centers, we inherit the SLAs provided by cloud providers.', quoted |
| 2026-10-22 | shadeform.com/directory/instances/hyperstack/A4000 | 'A4000 | $0.15/hr' with 'pcie|16 GB VRAM|VM|0 available regions', vCPUs 4, Memory 21 GB, Storage 100 GB; the on-demand table on the same page lists 'A4000 | Hyperstack | $0.15 /hr' beside 'A4000 | Paperspace | $0.80 /hr', quoted. The unit is the whole VM, not a GPU attach |
| 2026-10-22 | shadeform.com/directory/instances | sorting the directory by the Price column ascending put 'Hyperstack A4000 $0.15 - 1 16 No regions PCIe 21 100 4' first, then 'Hyperstack A4000 $0.30', 'Massed Compute A30 $0.35', 'Verda V100 $0.39', 'Massed Compute A5000 $0.44', 'IMWT A6000 $0.49', 'Hyperstack A6000 $0.50', 'Vultr A16 $0.51' and 'Massed Compute A6000 $0.57' twice, on Page 1 of 28; the descending sort started at 'Nebius B300 $88.00 $56.00 8 2304' |
| 2026-10-22 | www.hyperstack.cloud/gpu-pricing | the host's own on-demand rows 'NVIDIA A4000 16 6 24 $0.15', 'NVIDIA A6000 48 28 58 $0.50' and 'NVIDIA H100 80 28 180 $2.50', against Shadeform's Hyperstack rows at USD 0.15, USD 0.50 and USD 2.50: exact equality on three cards, which supports the no-markup claim for this host |
| 2026-10-22 | www.paperspace.com/pricing | the host's hourly block reads 'A4000 $0.76 / hour' with 'NVIDIA A4000 GPU, 45GB RAM, 8 vCPU', and its monthly block on the same page reads 'A4000 $488 / month' with 44GB RAM and 8 vCPU, so USD 0.76 is the hourly rate and not a committed one; Shadeform lists the same 8 vCPU and 45 GB machine at USD 0.80/hr, a +USD 0.04 (+5.3%) gap |
| 2026-10-22 | docs.shadeform.ai/getting-started/quickstart.md | 'After you verify your email address, a two-step form asks for your name and organization (your name appears on invoices and team invites; the organization names your workspace), then a few questions about what you plan to run.' and 'Add Funds makes a one-time payment through Stripe (minimum $20)', quoted |
| 2026-10-22 | docs.shadeform.ai/getting-started/quickstart.md | 'Instances are billed per second against your account balance' and, of a launch with no funds, 'the console asks you to add funds before it continues', quoted; the page sets Deploy in bold inside that sentence |
| 2026-10-22 | docs.shadeform.ai/getting-started/concepts.md | Shade Cloud 'deploys the instance into its own account with the underlying cloud provider', and a Flex VM is 'a GPU instance that Shadeform virtualizes itself on a partner's bare-metal hardware, rather than one the provider virtualizes in their own cloud', quoted: the virtualisation layer is Shadeform's, the iron is a partner's |
| 2026-10-22 | docs.shadeform.ai/guides/spotinstances.md | 'Shadeform may reclaim the capacity at any time, at which point the instance is terminated', quoted; every entry of an instance type carries a rental_type, and a spot entry carries its own hourly price |
| 2026-10-22 | www.shadeform.ai/ | 'Deploy high quality GPUs at the best prices across 30+ top clouds worldwide.' with 'Shadeform supports over 100 regions across North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.' and, further down the same page, 'the best prices for your workloads across 150+ regions': one page carries two different region counts |
| 2026-10-22 | shadeform.com/directory/clouds | 17 clouds named across Page 1 of 2 and Page 2 of 2: Boost Run, Crusoe, Cudo Compute, Denvr Dataworks, DigitalOcean, Phyntec, Gcore, Hyperstack, Lambda, Latitude, Massed Compute, Nebius, Paperspace, Scaleway, Verda Cloud, Voltage Park and Vultr; the instance table adds IMWT and Excess Supply, which the cloud directory does not list |
