Vast.ai Alternative: app.nz
Vast.ai is a GPU marketplace for renting compute by price and availability. See Vast.ai.
Where Vast.ai is strong
- Broad GPU marketplace.
- Optimizing raw GPU cost.
- Suits users who manage machines themselves.
Where app.nz is different
app.nz covers:
- cloud coding agents that work on repos and return durable diffs
- static sites, server deploys, private container builds, domains, logs, queues, and secrets
- one OpenAI-compatible gateway for text, image, video, audio, embeddings, search, and 3D
- scale-to-zero GPU hosting for Cog and Comfy workloads
- one credit balance and API surface across the product
app.nz turns GPU work into product primitives: Cog and Comfy deploys, routing, health checks, idle reaping, metering, and app integration.
Choose Vast.ai when
Choose Vast.ai when you want direct GPU rentals and are prepared to manage setup, security, images, and lifecycle yourself.
Choose app.nz when
app.nz runs the whole loop on one account: an agent edits code, the build deploys, model calls go through the gateway, and GPU endpoints run on demand.
Migration path
Move recurring inference workloads to app.nz when lifecycle management is more valuable than raw marketplace control.
Bottom line
app.nz hosts the app, routes the models, and runs the GPU or worker infrastructure behind them.
