DeepInfra wins on token price, HostYourAI wins on jurisdiction. For European teams that is often the cheaper equation anyway.
DeepInfra is the price floor of the inference market. Models in the Llama 70B class run there for roughly $0.10 per million input tokens and $0.32 per million output tokens, which is genuinely impressive. If token price is your only criterion, you will end up at DeepInfra, and we are not going to argue you out of that.
Two facts sit on the other side of the scale. DeepInfra states that it runs in "secure US-based data centers". And on its own blog, the company points customers with strict GDPR requirements toward European providers. No competitor could write our pitch more honestly: if you need sovereignty, you need to be elsewhere.
DeepInfra made pay-per-token access to open models radically cheap and keeps the product simple: create a key, use the OpenAI format, done. For experiments, side projects and workloads without personal or confidential data it is a perfectly reasonable choice. The question is not whether DeepInfra is good at what it does, but whether what it does fits a European organization with compliance obligations.
Let us say it plainly: on raw token price, DeepInfra beats us. But the real calculation for a European team is wider. Every prompt sent to a US API is an international data transfer you have to justify, document and keep defending under the GDPR, to your DPO, your customers and sometimes a regulator. Those hours cost more than the price difference per million tokens, and the residual risk never fully goes away.
In healthcare, finance, legal work and government, "data stays in the EU" is increasingly a hard procurement requirement. Then the cheapest American option is not an option, whatever the price tag says. DeepInfra acknowledges as much by referring strict GDPR customers to European parties.
HostYourAI is a Dutch company and all inference runs in European datacenters, with no American cloud in the chain. You get a DPA, a public subprocessor list, the guarantee that your data is never used for training, and a 99.9% SLA.
The API speaks the same /v1/chat/completions format as OpenAI and DeepInfra, including SSE streaming. There is also an Anthropic compatible /v1/messages endpoint with x-api-key authentication, something almost no provider offers. Your existing code keeps working, whichever SDK you use.
Pay per token on the shared Router, where models scale to zero when idle, or deploy a dedicated vLLM instance that is yours alone. The model catalog covers open families like Llama, Qwen, Mistral, DeepSeek and GLM. Billing is prepaid, no subscription; see the pricing page.
from openai import OpenAI client = OpenAI( base_url="https://hostyourai.com/api/v1", api_key="hyai-...") client.chat.completions.create( model="llama-3.3-70b", messages=[{"role":"user","content":"Hallo!"}])

No, and we do not claim to be. DeepInfra is the market's price floor. What you save with us is compliance: no transfer justifications, no debates with your DPO, no risk of failed procurement checks.
The company states that it runs in US-based data centers and falls under US law. For strict GDPR scenarios, DeepInfra's own blog points to European providers.
Yes. Both platforms speak the OpenAI format. You change the base_url, the key and the model name; streaming and parameters behave as you expect.
The major open families such as Llama, Qwen, Mistral, DeepSeek and GLM are in the catalog. If a model is missing, deploy it yourself on a dedicated instance with vLLM.
Never. That is fixed contractually in the DPA, and it applies to both the Router and dedicated instances.
From model hosting to a customer-facing API, it is built for developers and businesses who want their AI running on infrastructure they actually control, inside the EU.
Your data and your models stay on European GPUs. GDPR-friendly by design.
Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek, Mistral, FLUX and plenty more. Pick one and it is warm in minutes, with no DevOps on your end.
Point your existing client at the Router and keep your tools. No rewrite, no lock-in.
No infra to manage. Pick a model, get an OpenAI-compatible URL, ship.
Choose from the Model Garden or paste any HuggingFace ID. Set the VRAM and pick an EU GPU.
We deploy vLLM, run readiness probes, and hand you a warm OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible URL plus an API key.
Point your client at the Router. It auto-routes to a warm instance, idles GPUs when nobody is online, and logs every request.
If a US cloud is off the table, HostYourAI gives you the same developer experience on European infrastructure.
Citizen data that legally has to stay in the EU, with full auditability.
Finance, healthcare and legal teams under GDPR, DORA and the AI Act.
Ship AI features your customers trust, without a US sub-processor.
Deliver private AI for clients on infrastructure you can stand behind.
HostYourAI keeps your models, prompts and data on European GPUs. It is built for teams that care about compliance, reliability and real control.
GPUs and data residency inside Europe. Your prompts never leave the EU.
Run open-weight models with no black boxes or hidden telemetry.
GPUs idle when nobody is online, so you only pay for what you run.
Your infra, your keys, your models. Leave whenever you want.
Yes. HostYourAI runs open models on GPUs in European datacenters via vLLM. Your prompts and outputs never leave the EU and there is no US cloud provider in the chain.
Yes. All processing happens inside the EU, a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is available and the subprocessor list is public. Open weights also mean no training on your data.
Yes. Point your existing OpenAI or Anthropic client at our Router (https://hostyourai.com/api/v1), change only the base URL and API key. No rewrite, no lock-in.
Pay-as-you-go on one prepaid credit balance: the shared router per token or a dedicated GPU per hour. Free to start, no minimum, no fixed monthly fee.
Text and image models on dedicated EU GPUs. Every model tested on our own hardware.
