AI and LLM apps
Combine filters →Most AI applications are ordinary web applications with an unusual request shape: a call to a model API that takes seconds, a response streamed to the browser, and timeouts tuned accordingly. The expensive part is the model provider’s bill, not the hosting. Where a provider means GPUs rather than that, it is a different product entirely — this dataset records web hosting, so read the category before assuming inference is included.
28 providers market themselves for ai and llm apps, listed alphabetically. Across 34 countries, commonest entry price $5 to $15 a month. 53 records do not record this field, and cannot appear here either way.
