Pros & Cons
Gcore
Pros
- The CDN includes 1 TB of traffic and 1 billion requests free each month, and traffic after that starts at 0.01 EUR per GB.
- DDoS protection pricing does not depend on attack size, and mitigation is not metered on any plan.
- The managed Kubernetes control plane is free with high availability, so you pay only for the nodes.
- A large edge footprint, reported at about 210 PoPs and 200 Tbps of capacity, suits latency-sensitive workloads such as gaming and streaming.
- Headquarters in Luxembourg is an advantage for buyers who prefer an EU-based provider.
Cons
- Trustpilot scores are around 2.5 out of 5, with complaints about recurring billing, refunds, and slow support.
- There is no public price list for VMs and bare metal; prices are only available through the calculator.
- The Terraform v2 provider is still in alpha and Gcore says it is not ready for production.
- The product range is very broad, which can make it harder for small teams to understand how pricing works.
NVIDIA DGX Cloud
Pros
- Clusters are co-engineered with each major cloud (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, OCI) and come with NVIDIA's full software stack.
- Customers get access to NVIDIA experts, which is rare among GPU cloud providers.
- Lepton gives a single workflow across many GPU providers, with region choice for data sovereignty.
- Through build.nvidia.com, developers can use prebuilt NIM microservices and serverless endpoints without managing clusters.
Cons
- NVIDIA publishes no prices, and the core service requires a negotiated private offer.
- Review-site summaries repeatedly describe the pricing as expensive.
- Press reports say NVIDIA has scaled back DGX Cloud as a hyperscaler rival, so its direction is uncertain.
- Lepton access requires an application, and NVIDIA controls the allocation layer between you and the partner providers.
