Voltage Park
US neocloud selling on-demand and reserved bare-metal NVIDIA HGX H100 clusters from $1.99/hr; acquired TensorDock (2025) and merged with Lightning AI (Jan 2026).

TensorDock Review (archive)
A once-cheap, crypto-friendly Delaware GPU marketplace that lost its host inventory and support after being absorbed into Voltage Park; the public hostnode feed is empty and 2026 community reports describe failed VMs, ghost billing and no support - treat it as a dead service and archive listing.

Overview
TensorDock is a GPU compute marketplace in our compute category, operating since 2022. Facts are reported as of 2026-09-24 - treat claims accordingly.
What you can rent
Offered (GPUs: H100, A100). Cloud GPU VMs (marketplace of hosts) for ML training, rendering, cloud gaming; API and GUI You do not own the underlying hardware unless the provider explicitly says otherwise - with a contract you hold a claim on hashrate or compute for a term, not an asset you can resell.
Contract & terms
Minimum purchase: not documented. Contract term: not documented. Maintenance/fee: not documented. Payouts: not documented. Host-set marketplace pricing (peer-to-peer supply) Where a term is not documented, assume it can change and get it in writing before paying.
Proof & verifiability
Proof of hashrate/compute is not documented. Host ratings; no TEE A vendor claim is not proof: check for a payout address, a pool worker you can watch, or a hardware attestation before trusting a large contract.
Reliability & history
No verified reputation data yet. Noted concerns: . Facts not fully verified (reported) as of 2026-09-24 - start with the smallest possible purchase and test a payout before scaling up.
Pricing
Documented pricing: not documented - see the provider site. Payment methods not documented. KYC policy not documented. Compare prices only in the same unit - a per-TH/s-day figure and a per-GPU-hour figure are not the same product.
Verdict
See the facts table above and compare with alternatives. Test with the smallest purchase and verify one payout before committing more - mining revenue moves with coin price and difficulty, so no contract is guaranteed.
++ What works
- Historically cheap published rates (H100 from $2.25/hr, consumer from $0.12/hr)
- Named Delaware entity and a documented Compute Services Agreement
- Published downtime-compensation policy and a spot/bid tier
-- What to watch
- Public hostnode feed returns an empty set (2026-09-24)
- Reported down for 5+ weeks by a host in June 2026
- Multiple 2026 reports of failed deployments, ghost billing and unresponsive support
- Docs and homepage stale (last updated 2024 / 'March News' banner)
- Absorbed into Voltage Park with reported loss of quality and support
Pricing reality check
| Documented price | $0.120 per GPU/hr · $2.25 per GPU/hr (H100 SXM5, advertised) |
|---|---|
| Minimum | $5 |
| Notes | Historical marketing figures from the site (2026-09-24, but unchanged since the 'March News' banner): consumer GPUs from $0.12/hr, RTX 4090 from $0.35/hr, A100 SXM4 from $1.80/hr, H100 SXM5 from $2.25/hr, across '45 available GPU models'. These could not be validated against live deployments because the public hostnode feed is empty. |

What "legit" does not mean
A real, operating provider can still lose you money: with a contract you own no hardware, revenue follows coin price and difficulty, and most published contracts are priced so the seller comes out ahead. "Legit" means the operator exists and pays what its terms promise - not that the deal is profitable. 11 dated sources back this page; they are listed under sources.
// Alternatives to TensorDock
Same category, scored on the same criteria - so the comparison stays honest. Compare only in the same unit, and read the minimum, KYC and proof columns before switching.

// TensorDock FAQ
What do I actually get from TensorDock?
A rental of hashrate or compute. You do not own the hardware unless stated - the contract is the asset.
What is the total cost including fees?
Documented pricing: not documented - see the provider site. Fees: not documented - factor maintenance into any comparison.
Is there a minimum or a trial?
No minimum is documented - confirm with the provider.
How do payouts work?
Payout schedule is not documented.
Is it legit and verifiable?
Proof of hashrate/compute is not documented.
What happens if it shuts down?
In a contract you own no hardware, so if the operator disappears the contract is likely worthless - the pattern behind several documented collapses in our Scam Watch.
Should I use TensorDock or just buy the coin or hardware?
If you cannot verify a payout and a clear term, buying the coin or owning a miner leaves you in control - run the numbers with our mining calculator first.
