Who it suits

Existing Paperspace users and light notebook work: the Gradient Free plan includes free M4000 GPU notebooks, machines start at $0.45 an hour on an M4000, and ingress and egress are free.

Consider something else if…

You are starting fresh: DigitalOcean, which owns Paperspace, recommends its own AI products to new customers. The H100 is $5.95 an hour, called a promo price, billing is per hour, and SOC 2 and ISO 27001 are claimed for the data centres, not Paperspace itself.
