Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Anyscale
- Pricing for high-end H100/B200-class GPUs is not published and requires contacting sales.
- Built around Ray, so teams not already using Ray face a steeper adoption curve than single-purpose inference APIs.
- No published fixed-fee subscription tier; all listed pricing is usage-based on-demand compute.
Zeabur
- Free plan limited to single server with 48-hour log retention
- Small team size may limit support and feature velocity
- Building spec upgrades limited on lower tiers
- Enterprise support not clearly documented
