The Cyfuture Cloud alternative built around GPU.
This compares Podstack Cloud’s QuickPods with Cyfuture Cloud’s GPU instances: a share of a GPU billed per minute instead of a whole card on a generalist cloud, with one-click templates for fine-tuning, vLLM and ComfyUI.
Why teams move from Cyfuture Cloud
Generalist cloud, GPU bolted on
Cyfuture Cloud is a general-purpose cloud with GPU instances added to a broader catalog. QuickPods are built GPU-first, scheduled through PodVirt from the ground up.
Whole-GPU pricing
Cyfuture GPU instances are rented as a whole card. QuickPods start at 12.5% of a GPU and bill per minute.
Portal-led tooling
Cyfuture is driven mainly through its portal. QuickPods add a CLI, a Python SDK and a REST API, so a pod fits into a script or a pipeline.
Egress fees
Pulling weights, datasets and results back out of Cyfuture is plan-dependent. Podstack object storage has no ingress, egress or request fees.
Podstack vs Cyfuture Cloud, feature by feature
| Feature | Podstack | Cyfuture Cloud |
|---|---|---|
| Platform stack | GPU-native control plane, scheduled through PodVirt | Generalist cloud with GPU instances added to a broader catalog |
| Fractional GPU | 12.5% to 100% via PodVirt | Whole GPU only |
| Developer tooling | CLI, Python SDK, REST API | Portal-led |
| ML templates | One-click for fine-tuning, vLLM, ComfyUI and Jupyter | Bring your own image |
| Billing granularity | Per GPU-minute | Per hour |
| Egress fees | None | Plan-dependent |
| Reliability terms | Flow into the operator agreement; more than one operator per region | Plan-dependent terms |
| Pricing | Quoted per team; billed per GPU-minute | Public rate cards |
Moving from Cyfuture Cloud
The same three steps work for every Podstack Cloud product.
Bring your image or template
Use Podstack templates for vLLM, Unsloth, ComfyUI and PyTorch, or point a pod at your own container image.
Move data into object storage
Sync weights and datasets into an S3-compatible bucket in the same region as your GPUs. There is no egress fee when a pod or endpoint reads them.
podstack files upload data.jsonlLaunch and pick a share
Choose the GPU family and how much of it you need, from 12.5% to the whole card, and you are billed per minute from there.

Why look for a Cyfuture Cloud alternative?
Cyfuture Cloud is a generalist cloud that has added GPU instances to a broader catalog. QuickPods are built GPU-first, with fractional GPUs from 12.5%, one-click ML templates and a CLI, SDK and API alongside the portal.
Is Podstack cheaper than Cyfuture Cloud?
Podstack pricing is quoted per team, billed per GPU-minute, with no egress fees, rather than compared against a public rate card.
Can I run vLLM, Unsloth and ComfyUI on Podstack?
Yes. QuickPods ship one-click templates for fine-tuning, vLLM serving, ComfyUI and Jupyter, and you can bring your own container image instead.
How do I migrate from Cyfuture Cloud to Podstack?
Bring your image or template, move your data into object storage, then launch and pick a share. The same three steps apply across every Podstack Cloud product.
Does Podstack have an SLA?
Uptime and response terms flow into the operator agreement behind them, and every region has more than one operator.
Is my data safe on Podstack?
Podstack is an ISO 27001 certified platform and operations, with per-tenant isolation via PodVirt and region pinning including India.
Built for GPU, not bolted on.
QuickPods launch on a fractional GPU in seconds and bill by the minute from there.
