Pricing & Instances
Live GPU, CPU pod, and storage rates pulled from the Meshive backend at every docs build — and how instances (pods) are shaped, sized, and limited.
Meshive bills pod runtime in fixed one-minute intervals (60 seconds) — no minimums, no monthly commitments. Rates are reviewed and re-adjusted every two weeks. Rate tables on this page are pulled from the live Meshive catalog when the docs are built; for the full, current catalog (every supported GPU SKU, spot prices, regional variations, and storage SKUs), sign in at console.meshive.ai — the console is always the live source of truth.

Numbers are pulled from the production API at every docs build. The console at console.meshive.ai is always the live source of truth.
Instances
Section titled “Instances”A Meshive instance is a pod: a container with dedicated GPU, vCPU, RAM, and storage carved out of a host machine. There are no fixed instance SKUs — you compose the shape, and the console bounds every slider by what the live fleet can actually serve (which is why the options you see can differ from day to day).
GPU pods
Section titled “GPU pods”-
Pick a GPU model and count. The model list and the count options come from the fleet in real time — if the largest host with your GPU has 4 of them, the slider tops out at 4.
-
Size the companions. vCPU and RAM are set per GPU, pre-filled with recommended values and bounded by the host’s hardware. The platform-wide rule of thumb, per GPU:
vCPU RAM Included (minimum) VRAM / 4, rounded down — at least 4 1.25 GiB per GB of VRAM, rounded up Maximum 2× included 2 GiB per GB of VRAM Example — 1× 32 GB GPU: 8–16 vCPU and 40–64 GiB RAM. Hosts must reserve these companions GPU-first, so a GPU pod never finds the CPU/RAM around its GPU already sold off (how that works).
The included vCPU and RAM come with the GPU rate. Anything above them is billed at one flat rate per vCPU and per GiB of RAM — the same on every host, whatever its CPU or memory generation (the GPU-pod extras table above).
-
Add storage. Local volumes start at 10 GiB and go up to whatever the host has free; storage is billed per GiB·month at the rates in the table above.
You pay the GPU rate × count, the flat extra rates for any vCPU/RAM above the included amount, and storage — each line item is visible in the create flow before you confirm, and the same shape costs the same on whichever host it lands.
CPU pods
Section titled “CPU pods”CPU pods rent vCPU and RAM without a GPU — including spare CPU capacity on GPU hosts. You choose the vCPU count and RAM, with RAM selectable from 0.5 to 8 GiB per core (matching the usual compute / balanced / memory shapes — 2, 4, and 8 GiB per core). The rate depends on the silicon: per-vCPU pricing is tiered by CPU vendor/generation, and per-GiB RAM pricing by DDR generation — exactly the tiers in the tables above. Each CPU option in the console pins both, so the rate you see is the rate you pay: the pod is placed only on hosts with that CPU generation and that DDR generation.
Demand vs. spot
Section titled “Demand vs. spot”Every compute SKU has two rates:
| Demand | Spot | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Standard rate | Discounted |
| Availability | Runs until you stop it | May be reclaimed and reallocated to a different node. If no node has room, it stops and waits, then starts again on its own when capacity frees up |
| Local storage | ✓ | ✗ — local volumes would be lost on reallocation, so spot pods must use NFS storage instead |
Use spot for interruption-tolerant work (training with checkpoints, batch processing); keep services and stateful workloads on demand.
Limits
Section titled “Limits”- Shape ceilings are fleet-driven, not fixed — GPU count, vCPU, and RAM max out at the largest matching host currently online. The GPU table above is the live lineup.
- Local volumes: 10 GiB minimum per volume, host capacity as the ceiling, demand pods only.
- Hardware is pinned: a pod stays on the machine it was placed on — to move to a different GPU, save your image/data and recreate (how placement is chosen).
- Billing granularity is one minute, on a running-pod basis.
- Host maintenance: while a host’s maintenance window is open, your pods and volumes on that machine aren’t billed. Meshive doesn’t stop your pods — they keep running unless the host’s work interrupts them. Billing resumes when the window ends (the host may end it early). Tasks and Assets storage are unaffected.
