Any Questions?

Yes, all prices listed on our website exclude VAT. For VAT-included pricing, please contact us directly at info@leaf.cloud.

Yes, discounts are available for commitments of a month or longer. Visit our pricing page or contact us at hello@leaf.cloud for details.

Yes, This minimal barrier helps us protect our sustainable infrastructure from malicious users, crypto miners, spammers, and bots, ensuring reliable service for legitimate users like you. Leafcloud requires a 2 euro downpayment to access Leafcloud cloud resources and a 25 euro downpayment to enable the use of GPUs. Once you have completed the downpayment as part of your registration process you will receive two weeks of free use.

Your deposit will be applied as credit toward your first bill after the free trial period ends. For example, if you used €50 worth of GPU compute after your trial, your first invoice would be €25 (€50 - €25 deposit).

Yes, the VMs corresponding to the 1, 2, 4, or 8 GPU machines are included in the listed price.

Send us all your questions by emailing to hello@leaf.cloud or schedule a call with our team and we'll get you on your way.

Leafcloud accepts most widely used credit cards. Payments are also possible using iDEAL.

Leafcloud GPUs are more affordable due to our innovative heat reuse infrastructure and efficient Dutch operations—without compromising on performance or reliability.

Heat Reuse Technology: We capture waste heat from GPU workloads and redirect it to warm residential buildings. This eliminates expensive cooling infrastructure costs that hyperscalers pass on to customers. GPUs generate significant heat (165W-700W per card), and traditional datacenters spend heavily on cooling systems. We turn that expense into a community benefit.

No US Markup: Unlike AWS, Azure, or GCP, Leafcloud is Dutch-owned with no US parent company overhead. Hyperscaler EU regions typically charge 20-40% more than their US regions for VMs and GPUs due to regulatory compliance, data sovereignty requirements, and corporate structure costs. We operate locally without these markups.

Transparent Pricing: No hidden fees, egress charges, or surprise costs. What you see is what you pay. Our pricing is fetched live from pricing.leaf.cloud and includes straightforward hourly rates with discounts for committed usage.

Efficient Operations: Smaller scale allows us to optimize for cost efficiency rather than maximizing profit margins. We pass savings directly to customers while maintaining ISO 27001 & SOC2 certifications.

Amsterdam Location: Operating in the Netherlands with direct access to renewable energy and efficient infrastructure keeps operational costs low. Our climate-positive model reduces carbon footprint while reducing costs—a true win-win for organizations seeking sustainable GPU compute.

This minimal barrier helps us protect our sustainable infrastructure from malicious users, crypto miners, spammers, and bots, ensuring reliable service for legitimate users like you.

  • €2 deposit for Virtual Machine access
  • €25 deposit for GPU access

Your deposit will be applied as credit toward your first bill after the free trial period ends. For example, if you used €50 worth of GPU compute after your trial, your first invoice would be €25 (€50 - €25 deposit).
