Questions
Is Beam or io.net cheaper?
On the 10 GPUs both price on 2026-10-11, Beam is cheaper on 4 and io.net on 6. On average io.net is 8% more expensive than Beam across those GPUs. The table shows each one; the gap is rarely uniform.
What does one have that the other does not?
Beam alone prices nothing the other lacks; io.net alone prices B300, V100 32GB, RTX 6000 Ada, A40, L4, A100 40GB, L40, T4, RTX 3090, V100 16GB, RTX A5000, RTX A4000. They are different kinds of provider — Beam is a neocloud, io.net a marketplace — which is most of why the prices differ.
Where do these prices come from?
Beam: Public pricing page, parsed. Per-GPU price is the listed per-GPU rate, or the node price divided by GPU count. Prices near reserved, committed or contract terms are discarded; anything outside a plausible range for the GPU is discarded. io.net: Public pricing page, parsed. Per-GPU price is the listed per-GPU rate, or the node price divided by GPU count. Prices near reserved, committed or contract terms are discarded; anything outside a plausible range for the GPU is discarded. Both are read every six hours; nothing is estimated.
