If you've used cloud computing on AWS or Google Cloud, you already know the pain:

  • High hourly costs

  • Complicated setup

  • Surprise fees for data transfer

Compute flips that model on its head.

We make it easier and more affordable to run powerful workloads—especially those that rely on GPUs.

Here’s a side-by-side look:

Why the difference?

Cloud hyperscalers use enterprise-grade GPUs (A100s, V100s), which are powerful—but expensive and often overkill for smaller workloads. Hivenet taps into consumer-grade RTX 4090s, which offer outstanding performance at a fraction of the cost.

You're not paying for their overhead. You're just paying for what you compute.

Bonus: No surprise charges

With Compute, you get:

  • Transparent hourly pricing

  • No extra fees for uploading or downloading data

  • No fine print

You launch, you compute, you’re done.
