No status page, rate limit figures or API changelog were found, a launch has no idempotency key, and the governing terms could not be read.\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### Massed Compute\n\n1. Use `https://vm.massedcompute.com/api/v1`. The older docs at api-docs.massedcompute.com describe a separate marketplace API on `api.massedcompute.com` whose keys come from support.\n2. Ask the owner for a read-only token unless the task must launch or terminate. Read-only credentials cannot call launch, restart, terminate or SSH key changes.\n3. Call `gpu_inventory_list` and `images_list` before `instances_launch`. Product names and image IDs are free values, and SXM-only images do not run on PCIe cards.\n4. Expect 402 on launch until the owner has added credit and set a recharge amount and threshold. List instances before retrying a launch.\n5. Terminate to end billing. Stopping keeps the full hourly charge, and termination deletes the instance data.\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, Massed Compute or Runpod?\n\nRunpod scores 53.5 (D) on agent readiness against Massed Compute's 42.3 (E), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Massed Compute leads on agent ergonomics.\n\n### Do Massed Compute and Runpod need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Massed Compute and Runpod without installing anything?\n\nYes. Massed Compute has a hosted endpoint at https://vm.massedcompute.com/api/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/massed-compute-vs-runpod.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/massed-compute-vs-runpod.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"massed-compute\", \"b\": \"runpod\"}`.
