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**Verda.** The REST API has a public OpenAPI 3.1 document, a dated changelog, published rate limits with `Retry-After`, and an audit log endpoint. The CLI's MCP server refuses billed or destructive calls without `confirm: true`. Access needs a browser signup and a prepaid balance, credentials carry one scope, and instance creation has no idempotency key.\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### Verda\n\n1. Exchange the client ID and secret at `POST /v1/oauth2/token`, then send the access token as a Bearer header. It expires after 3,600 seconds, so refresh it.\n2. Send `location_code` on every create call. Requests without it have returned 400 since March 2026.\n3. Call `GET /v1/instance-availability` before launching. `POST /v1/instances` returns 503 `service_unavailable` when the location has no capacity.\n4. List instances before retrying a failed launch, because create has no idempotency key.\n5. Use the `delete` action to stop charges. `shutdown` keeps billing, and deleted volumes stay recoverable for 96 hours unless `delete_permanently` is set.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Massed Compute or Verda?\n\nVerda scores 62.3 (B) on agent readiness against Massed Compute's 42.3 (E), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do Massed Compute and Verda need an API key?\n\nMassed Compute takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Verda uses an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Massed Compute and Verda without installing anything?\n\nYes. Massed Compute has a hosted endpoint at https://vm.massedcompute.com/api/v1 and Verda at https://api.verda.com/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/massed-compute-vs-verda.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/massed-compute-vs-verda.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"massed-compute\", \"b\": \"verda\"}`.
