Hyperstack vs Lambda
A comparison of Hyperstack and Lambda built from values read directly from each provider's own documentation, with the source recorded against every figure.
The short answer
- Pick Hyperstack if
- Steady European workloads that can commit — reserved H200 at $2.79 against $3.99 on demand is the clearest published discount in this set, and egress is free.
- Pick Lambda if
- Renting exactly the instance shape you need — Lambda publishes 1x, 2x, 4x and 8x plans for the same card, so a single H100 is a real product rather than a fraction of a node.
5 sourced criteria separate them:
- Egress over allowance
- Hyperstack: Free. Egress and ingress traffic are not charged; a public IP address costs $0.00672043 per hour.
- Lambda: Free. Lambda states transparent pricing with no egress fees.
- H100 SXM, per GPU-hour
- Hyperstack: $3.20 per hour for H100 SXM 80GB on demand. The NVLink variant is $2.60 and the PCIe H100 is $2.50.
- Lambda: $4.29 per GPU-hour for H100 SXM 80GB on a single-GPU instance, falling to $3.99 on an 8-GPU node. The PCIe variant is $3.29.
- Cheapest GPU, per hour
- Hyperstack: $0.15 per hour for an A4000 with 16GB; the A100 SXM 80GB is $1.60.
- Lambda: $0.69 per GPU-hour for a Quadro RTX 6000 with 24GB; the V100 is $0.79 and the A6000 $1.09.
- Largest GPU offered
- Hyperstack: 288GB per GPU on B300 at $7.40 an hour; B200 at 192GB is $6.00.
- Lambda: 180GB per GPU on B200 SXM6, from $6.69 per GPU-hour on an 8-GPU node to $6.99 on a single GPU.
- Billing granularity
- Hyperstack: Per minute, with enterprise-scale contracts negotiated separately.
- Lambda: By the minute.

Which should you choose?
Choose Hyperstack if…
Steady European workloads that can commit — reserved H200 at $2.79 against $3.99 on demand is the clearest published discount in this set, and egress is free.

Choose Lambda if…
Renting exactly the instance shape you need — Lambda publishes 1x, 2x, 4x and 8x plans for the same card, so a single H100 is a real product rather than a fraction of a node.

Consider something else if…
- Hyperstack: Billing is per minute rather than per second, so very short jobs round up in a way they do not at RunPod.
- Lambda: Its H100 SXM is the most expensive per GPU-hour in this set at $4.29 single-card, and there is no published reserved discount to bring it down.
