No scale to zero for services; minimum instances must be at least 1.\n\n**Replicate Deployments.** OpenAPI file, llms.txt and an MCP server with a two-tool code mode. Private instances bill set-up and idle time, H100 at $5.49 an hour.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Northflank\n\n1. Issue the agent a team token under an API role limited to one project, not a personal token\n2. Read `x-ratelimit-remaining` and wait `x-ratelimit-reset` seconds on a 429; the default is 1,000 calls an hour\n3. Page lists with `per_page` up to 100 and the returned `cursor` instead of numbered pages\n4. Use a job, not a service, for anything that finishes; services bill until paused or deleted\n5. Fetch any docs page with .md appended to get Markdown\n\n### Replicate Deployments\n\n1. List `GET /v1/hardware` first and use the returned `sku` in the deployment body\n2. Set `min_instances` to 0 for bursty work; a warm H100 bills $5.49 an hour whether called or not\n3. Send `Prefer: wait` on deployment predictions to block instead of polling\n4. Copy outputs within an hour; API prediction data is deleted after that\n5. Wait for the reset time in the 429 body before retrying; prediction creates cap at 600 a minute\n\n## Other comparisons with Northflank or Replicate Deployments\n\n- [Baseten vs Northflank](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/baseten-vs-northflank.md)\n- [Baseten vs Replicate Deployments](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/baseten-vs-replicate-deploy.md)\n- [Beam vs Northflank](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/beam-vs-northflank.md)\n- [Beam vs Replicate Deployments](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/beam-vs-replicate-deploy.md)\n- [Koyeb vs Northflank](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/koyeb-vs-northflank.md)\n- [Koyeb vs Replicate Deployments](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/koyeb-vs-replicate-deploy.md)\n- [Lambda Cloud vs Northflank](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lambda-vs-northflank.md)\n- [Lambda Cloud vs Replicate Deployments](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lambda-vs-replicate-deploy.md)\n- [Modal vs Northflank](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/modal-vs-northflank.md)\n- [Modal vs Replicate Deployments](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/modal-vs-replicate-deploy.md)\n- [Northflank vs Runpod](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/northflank-vs-runpod.md)\n- [Replicate Deployments vs Runpod](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/replicate-deploy-vs-runpod.md)\n", "meta": { "attribution": "Anchor Terminal (https://www.anchorterminal.com)", "docs": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/docs/", "generatedAt": "2026-10-05", "license": "CC-BY-4.0", "method": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/benchmark/", "methodology": "0.3", "openapi": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/openapi.json", "preview": false, "run": "2026-10-01", "runLabel": "October 2026 research run" }, "page": { "breadcrumbs": [ { "name": "Home", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/" }, { "name": "Compare", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/" }, { "name": "Northflank vs Replicate Deployments", "url": "" } ], "description": "Replicate Deployments has a score of 63.7 (B) against Northflank's 61.8 (C).
