TensorDock Monthly Cost & Stopped Storage Estimator
Simulate your real-world monthly bill including active GPU compute and stopped persistent volume storage overhead.
When you click Stop Instance on TensorDock, your GPU compute charge stops, but the 200GB disk volume continues billing 24/7 ($20.00/mo) until you terminate the volume. Always backup checkpoints to HuggingFace or S3 before terminating.
Hourly run-rate: $0.26/hr compute + $0.0274/hr disk
Equivalent cloud capacity on AWS would cost approx. $245/mo for 6h daily runtime.
- •Host reliability differs between Core Tier (datacenters) and Community hosts; select Core locations for long unattended training jobs.
- •Direct port mapping must be requested or opened during pod creation to expose custom WebUI ports without reverse tunnels.
- •Stopped instances continue incurring disk storage fees until the associated NVMe volume is explicitly deleted.
- ✓Take advantage of TensorDock's transparent REST API and CLI to automate provisioning ephemeral RTX 4090 and A100 test rigs.
- ✓Direct SSH on native port 22 with assigned public IPv4 makes setting up VS Code Remote and PyCharm frictionless.
- ✓Consistently provides some of the lowest on-demand rates worldwide for single RTX 3090 ($0.16/hr) and RTX 4090 ($0.39/hr) with zero waitlists.
