Is OVHcloud's ai1-le-1-GPU the best deal?

AI Notebooks / Training / Deploy · $737.3/mo (40 GB RAM, 13 vCPU, 500 GB)

Better deals exist

DigitalOcean's RTX 4000 Ada GPU Droplet undercuts OVHcloud by $182.50/month (24.8% savings) with faster NVMe storage, higher GPU memory (32 GB vs 32 GB on GPU, but newer Ada architecture), and transparent bandwidth pricing. However, OVHcloud offers more CPU cores (13 vs 8) and higher system RAM (40 GB vs 32 GB), so the choice depends on whether you prioritize GPU performance or CPU/memory headroom.

GPU Droplets NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada (on-demand)

$554.8/mosave 24.8%

Newer GPU architecture (Ada vs V100S), NVMe boot disk (faster than SSD), 10TB monthly transfer included, and 99.99% SLA with predictable overage costs at $0.01/GB.

Caveat: Fewer vCPU cores (8 vs 13) and less system RAM (32 GB vs 40 GB); verify Ada performance meets your ML workload requirements versus V100S.

Before you switch

OVHcloud charges IPv4 addresses separately per instance; confirm whether DigitalOcean includes public IP in base price.
OVHcloud APAC outbound traffic loses free egress after mid-2026; check your region and data-transfer patterns.
DigitalOcean's 10TB transfer allowance may be insufficient for large model training; calculate your egress needs before committing.
OVHcloud's V100S is older but well-established; Ada is newer and faster per-TFLOP but verify driver/framework support for your stack.
Confirm OVHcloud's renewal pricing and whether hidden costs (IPv4, Windows license if applicable) apply to your use case.
