No idempotency keys or control-plane rate limits were found, spot and B200 prices go through sales, and a storage outage in eu-norway1 lasted about four hours on 29 September 2026.\n\n**Runpod.** Per-second billing across more than a dozen serverless GPU classes, H100 at $4.79 and A100 80 GB at $2.72 an hour. Data-centre outages of 6 to 24 hours in each of July, August and September 2026.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Crusoe Cloud\n\n1. Sign every request. Build the payload from path, sorted query string, verb and `X-Crusoe-Timestamp`, HMAC-SHA256 it with the base64url-decoded secret, and send `Authorization: Bearer 1.0:\u003caccess_key_id\u003e:\u003csignature\u003e`.\n2. Use `https://api.cloud.crusoe.ai/v1`. Some docs pages and the MCP server still name `api.crusoecloud.com` and `/v1alpha5`.\n3. Creates, updates and deletes return an operation. Poll the matching operations endpoint for `state`, and list existing resources by name before retrying a create, because no idempotency key was found.\n4. Managed AI uses separate Intelligence API keys and hosts, `api.inference.crusoecloud.com` for OpenAI-compatible calls and `api.intelligence.crusoecloud.com` for files and fine-tuning jobs.\n5. Delete a VM and its disks to stop charges. A stopped on-demand VM is not billed for compute, but its 128 GB OS disk still bills at $0.08 a GiB-month.\n\n### Runpod\n\n1. Create a Restricted or Read Only key per endpoint for the agent, not an All key\n2. Use REST v2 at api.runpod.io/v2 with a Bearer header; avoid GraphQL, which puts the key in the URL\n3. Fetch `/run` results within 30 minutes and `/runsync` results within 1 minute, or they're gone\n4. Call `/retry` on a failed job ID rather than submitting a duplicate job\n5. Check `/health` before relying on an endpoint idle for a week, since max workers drop to 0\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Crusoe Cloud or Runpod?\n\nCrusoe Cloud scores 63.4 (B) on agent readiness against Runpod's 53.5 (D), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Runpod leads on maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do Crusoe Cloud and Runpod need an API key?\n\nCrusoe Cloud needs an API key. Runpod takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Crusoe Cloud and Runpod without installing anything?\n\nYes. Crusoe Cloud has a hosted endpoint at https://api.cloud.crusoe.ai/v1 and Runpod at https://api.runpod.ai/v2.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/crusoe-cloud-vs-runpod.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/crusoe-cloud-vs-runpod.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"crusoe-cloud\", \"b\": \"runpod\"}`.
