Saved about 2 to 3 weeks of dev time.</li> </ul> </li> <li> <a href="https://vercel.com">Vercel</a> <ul> <li>Paid. Well integrated with MakerKit.</li> </ul> </li> <li> <a href="https://github.com/codespace">Github Codespace</a> <ul> <li>Free. So each one of us has about 80 hours of two core cpu usage time free of charge. </li> <li>I would recommend this to anyone who is on the move a lot.</li> </ul> </li> <li> <a href="https://replicate.com">Replicate</a> <ul> <li>Usage based. Their API is solid and consistent. Sometimes you will have to wait a bit if you are requesting a cold model.</li> </ul> </li> <li> <a href="https://vast.ai">Vast</a> <ul> <li>Usage based. Comparing to RunPod (community) and Salad, their GPU box was more robust and cost-effective.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>I will update this list if I found anything else worth mentioning, and also please do visit the site I build with those tools <a href="https://www.runcomfy.com?ref=dev.to">RunComfy</a>. It provides cloud service with the AI Art generation tool of ComfyUI.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> startup ai beginners productivity
