Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

CoreWeave

  • GPU nodes are sold as full 8 GPU instances rather than single cards, so the entry cost for an H100 node is $49.24 an hour on demand
  • Spot pricing is roughly 40% of on demand, at $19.71 an hour for the same H100 node, so predictable capacity carries a large premium
  • The newest hardware carries no published price and requires contacting sales
  • Discounts of up to 60% require committed usage agreements negotiated with sales
  • Only the GH200 is offered as a single GPU instance

Manus

  • Specific pricing and plan tiers not published on accessible pages; users must visit pricing page or contact sales
  • Organisational transition mid-2026; unclear how this affects feature stability or pricing continuity
  • No clear free tier mentioned; access requires subscription from apparent launch
  • Limited public documentation on capabilities and limitations
