## Which one, for what

### GPUsMarket (E)

Good for: Cheap, short GPU rentals for open models behind an Ollama or OpenAI endpoint, where data sensitivity is low.

Ahead on:
- Schema & documentation, 52 against 31
- Payments & pricing, 30 against 20

Also in its favour:
- Runs on your own machine

Watch for: Peer rentals send prompts and outputs through individuals' hardware, with only the terms as protection

### Koyeb (D)

Good for: Teams that want low-cost H100, H200 or B200 containers with scale to zero and an SLA, deployed from Git or an image.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 50 against 33
- Security & auth, 50 against 30
- Transparency & trust, 64 against 50

Also in its favour:
- No incidents deducted, where GPUsMarket loses 3 points for them

Watch for: Public changelog silent since 27 February 2026, so API changes surface only through CLI and SDK releases


## Why the edge

### Schema & documentation: GPUsMarket +21

- GPUsMarket (52): API and MCP reading. No OpenAPI or other machine-readable contract was found, and the MCP tool schemas couldn't be read because the published package is obfuscated; the repository's history says 2.4.7 added output schemas to all 32 tools, which is the vendor's claim (8). llms.txt as a complete API reference (10). llms.txt says when to use peer or cloud rentals, the proxy or the relay, and which workload each listing type serves (12). Parameters are listed by name without types, enums or required markers, apart from instance and workload types (6). curl examples for each flow, an error code list and a sample deploy response (11). npm versions, but no public changelog (5). 8+10+12+6+11+5 = 52.
- Koyeb (31): No downloadable OpenAPI file. The API reference at koyeb.com/docs/reference/api renders only by script, and the generated docs in the Go and Python client repositories aren't a published contract (0, was 10). No llms.txt (www.koyeb.com/llms.txt and /docs/llms.txt both 404) and no Markdown twins (0). Guides on scale to zero and autoscaling say when to use each setting (10, held). Typed parameters with required bodies in the Go client's docs, but service types and statuses are free strings with no listed values (8, held). CLI examples throughout; no documented error responses found (5, held). /v1 paths, but the public changelog stopped on 27 February 2026 (8, held). 0 + 0 + 10 + 8 + 5 + 8 = 31.

### Security & auth: Koyeb +20

- GPUsMarket (30): Account keys are all-powerful within the account, with no scopes, expiry or rotation documented, but each rental gets its own proxy token (15). The per-rental token limits inference access to one rental; no read-only key or confirmation for destructive calls (6). Peer rentals send prompts and outputs through individuals' machines, protected only by the terms, with no prompt-injection or untrusted-host guidance (2). Per-rental usage stats of requests, tokens and cost (5). No security.txt, disclosure policy, bug bounty or certification; a DPO address for breaches. The CLI and host packages are obfuscated, so they can't be audited (2). 15+6+2+5+2 = 30.
- Koyeb (50): Personal access tokens and organisation tokens sent as Bearer; no scopes found (20). RBAC only on Enterprise; no read-only token (5). Runs your own containers and returns their output (10). Audit logs only on Enterprise (10). ISO 27001 and SOC 2 listed on the pricing page for Enterprise; www.koyeb.com/.well-known/security.txt is 404 and no disclosure policy, SECURITY.md or bug bounty found, so a bare certification claim (5). 20 + 5 + 10 + 10 + 5 = 50.

### Reliability: Koyeb +17

- GPUsMarket (33): Read with the hosted lines. No status page found; listing health is shown per listing only (0). No incident history to read (5). Rate limits published, 60 requests a minute per rental and 10 sign-ups an hour per IP (15). 429 is documented, but no Retry-After, backoff or idempotency guidance (3). The terms give no availability guarantee and put host outages on hosts (0). No beta label on the API (10). 0+5+15+3+0+10 = 33.
- Koyeb (50): Graded on the hosted lines for its platform API. Instatus page at status.koyeb.com with components (API, Control Panel, Build / Provisioning and one per region) and history back to 2022 in its feed (20). Since 7 August the feed holds nine incidents and one maintenance. The eight in September each name one region, one GPU type or some customers, or ran 6 to 52 minutes (8, 11, 15, 21, 22 and 23 September and two on 29 September). On 16 October Koyeb posted a separate incident, "The ongoing maintenance is causing API to fail with 500", on the API, Control Panel and Build components for 24 minutes, inside a maintenance window announced the day before for 07:00 to 08:00 UTC with "max 10m unavailability". The status page labels it an incident and the outage ran past the unavailability announced, so it counts as an incident, and the API failing with 500 is errors across the board, one major outage (10). No API rate limits found in the docs we could read (0). No 429 or backoff guidance found (0). The Scale plan lists a 99.9 per cent uptime SLA and Enterprise 99.99, with an SLA document at /docs/legal/sla setting service credits (10). Services and GPUs are generally available; light sleep is a preview (10). 20 + 10 + 0 + 0 + 10 + 10 = 50.

### Transparency & trust: Koyeb +14

- GPUsMarket (50): Closed, under Tyga.Cloud licences that are clear on use, but the docs call gpusmarket-host MIT open source while the package says otherwise (10). The privacy policy gives retention periods and names Stripe and MongoDB, while renter data on peer hosts falls outside its controls, which the terms disclaim (15). The terms promise 30 days' notice of material changes, with no deprecation policy or dated notices found (5). Processors partly named, with transfers under SCCs, and no host locations shown in the docs read (6). 10+15+5+6 = 36.
- Koyeb (64): The editorial half. Closed service under the French-law Master Services Agreement of 28 June 2024; the CLI and Go client are Apache-2.0 (20). An MSA and a DPA are published, the MSA deletes customer data at the end of the reversibility period, but the footer's privacy link points at the DPA and we found no separate privacy policy or retention periods (15). The Mistral agreement was announced on 17 February 2026, with Starter closed to new sign-ups, and no dated migration or end-of-life notice since (5, held). Regions are named on the status page (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific); subprocessors not checked (10). 20 + 15 + 5 + 10 = 50.

### Payments & pricing: GPUsMarket +10

- GPUsMarket (30): No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Hourly prices for every listing and GPU type are public through the unauthenticated search and types endpoints, with a $0.50 minimum (20). No free tier; a card hold is placed on every rental (0). Sign-up and key issue are one API call with no browser, but renting needs a saved, verified card, which the docs don't show being added without a person (10). 0+20+0+10 = 30.
- Koyeb (20): No machine payment protocol (0). Per-hour GPU and per-second CPU prices published without a login (20). Pro costs $29 a month with $10 of usage, Scale $299 with $100, and the pricing page lists no free compute plan; the only free item is 5 hours of Postgres (0). Signup is a browser flow (0). 0 + 20 + 0 + 0 = 20.

## Verdicts

**GPUsMarket.** An agent can sign up with one API call, search priced GPUs without a key, rent a peer or cloud GPU as an Ollama or OpenAI-compatible endpoint and stop it, billed per second. Prompts on peer rentals pass through individuals' machines, the CLI is obfuscated, and there is no status page, security policy or free tier.

**Koyeb.** Koyeb publishes per-second GPU prices without a login, from $0.50 an hour for an RTX 4000 SFF Ada to $2.50 for an H100, with an SLA document from the Scale plan. It has no downloadable OpenAPI file, documented rate limits or error codes, and no free compute plan, and its public changelog has been silent since 27 February 2026.

## Before you call either

### GPUsMarket

1. Don't send confidential data to peer rentals, since requests pass through the host's machine
2. Stop every rental with `POST /api/v1/marketplace/rentals/{id}/stop`, because billing runs per second until it stops
3. Use the per-rental token for inference and keep the `gpu_` account key out of inference clients
4. Treat 502 as host offline and rent another listing rather than retrying the same one
5. Ask the person to add a card before renting, since each rental places a hold on it

### Koyeb

1. Pass `dry_run` on service create or update to validate the definition before anything deploys
2. Page service lists with `limit` and `offset` and filter by `statuses` instead of fetching everything
3. Expect the first request after deep sleep to take 1 to 5 seconds and retry once with a timeout
4. Set `--min-scale 0` on GPU services so idle instances stop billing
5. Read the CLI's CHANGES.md and the Python SDK tags for API changes, since the web changelog stopped in February 2026
