Renter prices vs host income

Marketplaces show what the renter pays. Host income is derived per platform and shown as an editable estimate.

• Vast.ai: host income ≈ renter price ÷ markup. Vast states that marketplace prices are typically about 25% above host earnings, so the default markup is 1.25. This is an average, not a rule; you can change it.
• Clore.ai: the listed price is the host base price. Host fee: 5% On-Demand or 1.25% Spot, plus 15% when the renter pays in BTC/USDT/USDC. Income = price × (share paid in CLORE × scenario A + remainder × scenario B). You set the share. Earnings settle in CLORE, so CLORE price risk applies.

Calculator

Revenue/day = host rate × 24 × utilization. Electricity/day = kW × price × (24 × utilization + 24 × (1 − utilization) × 0.15). Net = revenue − electricity − other costs. Idle draw (15%) and all defaults are placeholders you should replace.

Prices

Each price is the median asking price per GPU-hour across currently available On-Demand offers, because single cheapest offers are often outliers. Vast.ai: base GPU rate (excluding storage) divided by the number of GPUs. Clore.ai: the listed CLORE-denominated daily price divided by 24 hours and by the number of GPUs; the daily unit is inferred from price plausibility across thousands of listings, not from documentation. Market tables show On-Demand renter prices only, never mixing Interruptible or Spot. Charts appear only after 7 days of real collected data.
